German helmet

A very nice late war P38 soft shell holster. The holster is nicely maker marked 0/0833/0007 indicating production by Hans Römer, Neu-Ulm. Simply a superb late war P38 holster in mint condition, can not be upgraded!

Hard to find original chinstrap part in good used condition. Textbook example with aluminum buckle that dates the piece between 1936 and 1940. Perfect for a early helmet!

Exceptional pre war Austrian stone grey or Steingrautrousers in near mint condition. Typical pre war trousers that where captured, issued and used in the 1940 campaign. Due to large uniform shortages the stores of the Austrian army where massively looted and redistributed by the German army in 1940. These trousers are in near mint condition and are a good medium size fitting for most if not all modern sized mannequin. The wool is in perfect condition without only one or two small moth holes. All buttons are present and originally sewn. The trousers are a perfect example for a textbook 1940 campaign mannequin and would be very hard to upgrade – if you have been looking out for pre war stone grey trousers for a mannequin; this is it!

Rare example in good used condition with a wartime repaint in Feldgrau. The top of the canister bears a Cyrillic name АОЯІОШИН which translates to AOJAІOŠIN. This is most probably a name for a eastern ‘volunteer’ serving on the Atlantikwal. Very hard to find original gasmask with a Cyrillic ‘volunteer’ name
