German helmet

Original deathcard of Pionier Georg Käser. Pionier Käser served in an SS-Pionier-Abteilung and was killed in action on January 4, 1945 near Ransperg am Saar. This location is however difficult to determine.
Looking at his place of burial (St. Ingbert-Rohrbach) it must be searched in the region of Saarbrücken / Zweibrücken. In that case Pionier Käser most likely served in the 17. SS Panzer-Grenadier-Division “Götz von Berlichingen”.

Rare original German reversible winter parka recognition sleeve armbands in unissued condition. These sleeve armbands proved useful on the eastern front where the German and Russian winter camouflage uniforms looked alike and men needed to be able to tell friend from foe in seconds. These armbands can be worn with the dark or red side outwards and are made of screen printed red fabric. I’ve found a few pairs of armbands which is a rare opportunity to buy a original set of recognition armbands – before they run out!

Rare USAAF areal photography camera with large wooden case. This camera was used in bombers and reconnaissance planes during world war two. The camera looks in complete condition, but I can not test the function. The lens looks clear and is without cracks. It was used in many planes including the B-17, B-25, B-24, B-29, Supermarine Spitfire, the North American F-6 (modified P-51), and the Canadian-built De Havilland F-8 (modified Mosquito). Nice piece that will be a centerpiece in any USAAF themed collection!
