German helmet

Rare original German Gebirgsjäger sleeping bag. These sleeping bags are a extremely rare part of the Gebirgsjäger equipment. Made out of olive colored material bluegrey internally finished with a working RiRi zipper. Hard to find!

The gasmask is nicely painted in the typical three-tone Normandy camouflage. The container still retains up to 85% of its original camouflage paint and retains its original straps, mask and accessories. Inside the gasmask is named to Obergefreiter Wilkens. The gasmask is a typical example for camouflage patterns coming from Normandy. The Gasmask inside carries the same number as the canister and is original to the piece. Very hard to upgrade and scarce original Normandy camouflage gasmask with potential for further research.

This ensemble was photographed on Omaha Beach on the 5th of June 2019.

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 mint Lightbrown Luftwaffe 37M pistol holster marked cdc 42 indicating production by Kern Klager & Co. Lederwaren, Berlin. Impossible to upgrade mint holster!

A minty original late war Waffen-SS Wachmantel. A lot of these mantels can be seen in pictures of the Ardennes offensive worn by members of Kampfgruppe Hansen and in and around La Gleize. These mantels where specifically made for the Waffen-SS and lack the french cuffs the Heer types have. The mantel shows a no wear or age and would make a great addition to a late war Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Hard to find Italian pullover as issued and worn by many Waffen-SS and Heer troops. These turtleneck jumpers where very popular in 1944 and can be seen worn from June 1944 until the end of the war. The pullover is very stretchy and can easily be applied to most modern mannequins without hassle.

A nice minty and matching M31 Labeflasche marked C&CW 41 indicating prodution by Colsmann & Co, Werdohl. Hard to upgrade canteen in mint condition!

Very nice near mint Heer Zeltbahn. Very clearly marked J.C. Rimken & Co
Bremen 1941. Choice item with very nice colours.

Rare original belt buckle marked RODO in strong used condition.

Clear mapcase insert. These where issued with map cases and used to keep maps dry in the rain and folded on the right place. These where also used to draw on to the smooth see through surface to keep the maps unmarked.

Scarce M40 Heer field blouse manufactured in the Netherlands in 1940. A short run was made in the coarse thick Dutch captured army wool. The garment is in good used condition, shows signs of previously applied insignia and would be a nice base for a restoration.

A textbook mid war M42 canteen. Nicely marked CFL 43 indicating production by Carl Feldhaus Aluminium-und Metallwerke, Lüdenscheid with a red painted flask and a pigskin strap with a rollerless buckle!

A original German issued pullover in good condition. These sweaters where a standard issue piece just like the shirts and other uniforms. It is in very good condition and has a few small holes and a stain on the front. Most of these where used up postwar and finding a original one nowadays is very hard to find in good condition.

This sweater was wrapped around a German pistol after the war that was found a few years ago on a attic in the Netherlands. It was then handed into the police which destroyed the gun but the sweater was spared.

A nice set of original insignia for a M38 Heer sidecap.

Deckungswinkelmesser or Indirect fire calculator made by J.D. Möller G.m.b.H., Wedel. This little device helps to calculate distances and hight differences in terrain. This tool was a issue piece in the mapcase and very hard to find. In good working condition.

A simple, untouched single decal M42 helmet in excellent condition. Nicely marked EF66 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda with its original size 59 liner and chinstrap. I’ll let the pictures do the talking. A stunning original helmet with a large size 59 liner and a perfect decal.

Nice late war equipment belt marked 0/0485/0002 in good used condition. Size 95 which is good for most modern mannequins.

A very nice pre war double decal M40 Polizei helmet. The helmet is nicely marked Q62 indicating production by Quist with the lot number 4768 which falls clearly within the range of Quist helmets made for LW, Heer and SS. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet which have never been removed. The three brass rivets are tight and lightly oxidized to the liner. The helmet is a very early factory repaint with another layer of textured paint with a set of decals. The left side of the helmet has clear traces of silver Heer decal under the paint. The original early borderless Polizei decals still retain up to 95%. A very nice M35 Polizei helmet that would be a very nice addition to any helmet collection!

A only scarcely encountered set of J. Vincx & V. Schotanius’s – Nederlandse Vrijwilligers in Europese Krijgsdienst 1-3. The books are in very good condition without damages complete with the original paper backs. A scarce opportunity to buy part 1 to 3 a great documentation on Dutch volunteers in the Waffen-SS!
