German helmet

Hard to find wartime straight E-tool marked 1944 H. The E-tool is in good strong condition with clear markings and original finish.

Scarce original pair of Waffen-SS M43 Keilhosen for enlisted man and non commissioned officers in good worn condition. The trousers retain most if not all of their originally sewn buttons and full leg ties. There is a well-executed period repair on the front of the trousers under the left front pocket. The trousers are otherwise in good, used condition. The inside of the trousers are nicely finished with herringbone rayon material typical for Waffen-SS issue garments. The cut is typical for Waffen-SS issue Keilhosen with straight cut pockets and the back reinforcement ending at the side seams. Not to be confused with Heer/Kustenartillerie trousers! A textbook Waffen-SS M43 Keilhosen, much harder to find then a pair of Erbsentarn camouflage trousers!

A very rare Gebirgsjäger rucksack waist strap in good, unissued condition. This piece is virtually always missing from all Gebirgsjäger rucksacks and impossible to find as a spare!

A perfect mint late war set! Unmarked buckle by Bruder Schneider, Wien.

A stunning woodwork ET64 M35 Kriegsmarine camouflage helmet found in the Batterie Vineta, Hoek van Holland. The helmet was picked up by a boy right after the war and has only been in one collection ever since. The helmet is in great condition with over 90% of the tan camouflage paint remaining. The original ET Kriegsmarine decal is still 100%, partially obscured by green camouflage paint. The decal has the thin black border around the eagle and the swastika has a strong, deep golden tint as would be expected of a Kriegsmarine decal. The tricolor decal has been removed, as per regulation in 1940. The back skirt is nicely named to Hernez on top of the lot number 4936. The helmet is a great example of a Coastal Artillery camouflage helmet and it would be very hard to upgrade. Especially with the provenance of the helmet being picked up from a certain (and famous) Coastal Artillery Battery Vineta in Hoek van Holland, the Netherlands. This helmet would be a prime piece in any coastal artillery collector!

Textbook original Gasplane in great condition with its early type rubberized cover.

Stunning condition non reversible hard edged ’43 Sumpftarnmuster pattern camouflage parka complete with trousers and suspenders. Complete with their original rayon based camouflage braces original to the parka. The jacket and the trousers are in very good condition with strong colours and material. The jacket has a few small damages but is otherwise in mint/unissued condition! Hard to find complete set!

A nice late war grey equipment belt marked RBNR inside the leather tongue. Hard to upgrade piece in a good mannequin size!

A nice and usable 10 liter Trinkwasser water carrier in stunning condition. This is most probably the cleanest and nicest Trinkwasserkanister I have seen so far. The canister is marked HRE indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen.
These carriers where first introduced around 1941 probably due to the hot climate in Italy and Africa. These are becoming hard to find and are a good and secure way to take drinking water to the front. This one still has most of its original paint and stencils and is in very good condition!

A nice and typical example of a battle damaged M35 helmet. The helmet is a standard apple green double decal M35 Heer helmet with a field repaint typical for the 1940 campaign. The helmet retains 99% of its original camouflage paint which covers the thricolor decal but leaves the eagle bare to the eye. The helmet is marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap which are original to the helmet. On the top of the dome a large hole can be seen that was most probably inflicted by a bullet coming from the front. The hole surely seriously wounded anyone wearing the helmet at that time and the light blood staining in the leather shows this. The liner is nicely named K. Hefner. A very nice battle damaged M35 helmet in great – as found – condition!

A very nice pre war Dienstglas by Hensoldt, Wetzlar. The Dienstglas is complete with all straps and its bakelite rain shield and finished with brass. The vision is clear and the right eyepiece still retains the Strichplatte. A nice used set in good, combat used condition!

A very nice, lightly used MG34 tool pouch in leather with its original MG34 spider sight. The pouch is nicely marked fuq 1944 indicating production by Curt Vogel, Cottbuss. The pouch has one small faulty stitching, other then that its in great condition!

A nice original M36 field blouse made in Amsterdam, 1940. Fully made from course Dutch wool and with its original insignia. The garment has moth damage which is typical to this coarse Dutch wool. The wear in the collar area indicates this garment was surely worn in the field. A very nice worn display tunic for a nice price!

Stunning Q64 M40 three-tone camouflage helmet with vivid colours. The helmet is nicely marked Q64 indicating production by Quist. Textbook Normandy three-tone camouflage pattern helmet in very good condition. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original three-tone Normandy camouflage and is one of the best specimens I’ve seen so far. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap. The liner and its three matching pins is original to the shell which is obvious through the overpaint that is in the inner rim of the helmet which also covers the top of the liner band. The split pins retain remnants of the camouflage paint but are mostly bare due to their base material. This is a typical treat to the early nickel coated split pins. They are however original to the helmet! The helmet is really a great example of a Normandy camo helmet and would be very hard to upgrade. If you are looking for a stunning great condition three-tone camouflage helmet – this is it!

A nice original Luftschutz gladiator type helmet in good condition. The original decal still retains up to 90%.

A very nice mid war belt buckle marked N&H 1942 indicating production by Nolle & Hueck, Lüdenscheid.  The buckle retains up to 95% of its Blaugrau paint.

The best black hardshell P38 holster I have ever found. Nicely marked with the logo of Cristof Neuner Lederfabrik and nicely dated 1943. Can’t be upgraded.

 

 

 

 

A very nice matching large sized M31 Labeflasche marked MN41. All of the parts are marked MN41 indicating production by Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar (MENESA). The cup is made out of a nice dark brown bakelite, not to be confused with the standard black cup. Some minor moth damage to the felt, but nothing to serious. A very nice minty canteen!

Luftwaffe NCO Fliegerbluse for a Oberfeldwebel flight/paratrooper. The garment is in really good condition with most of the nap in the wool and all of its originally sewn buttons. All of the insignia on the garment are original but restored. Still a very nice uniform for a very nice price!

A very nice mint condition MP40 pouch. This is truly one of the nicest CLG pouches I have ever encountered and would make a nice addition to the collector of equipment. The pouch is marked CLG 43 indicating production by Ernst Melzig Lederwaren, Liegnitz. The leather is supple and in perfect condition. If you are looking for a MINT mp40 pouch, this is it!
