German helmet

Canadian battledress, as worn by a British soldier serving in the Corps of Royal Signals in the 7th Armoured Division. The jacket is in good, worn condition with wartime sewn insignia. The insignia consist of the flashes of the Corps of Royal Signals and the insignia for the 7th Armoured Division. Army Council Instruction 1207 dated 9.9.44 changed the wording from Royal Corps of Signals to Royal Signals which indicates the sewing of the insignia in September 1944 earliest.
Most probably this garment was worn by a radio operator or despatch rider.  The Canadian Battledresses were often worn by British troops as its quality wool was preferred over the British wool. The Battledress is a nice size 10 and would be hard to upgrade. Unlike many Battledresses on the market; this one shows character and actual field wear which would be very hard to upgrade!

Excellent, unissued original field blouse for a enlisted man in the RAD or Reichsarbeitsdienst. The garment is in a good, medium size fitting most if not all modern mannequins with collar tabs, shoulderboards and unit insignia.

A very nice late war Waffen-SS belt buckle made by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid. These buckles where made later in the war and came unmarked. A textbook buckle in great condition still retaining up to 95% of it’s original finish!

Extensive grouping of E.W.H. Vijgen, who served as a resistance man in the Orange Brigade in Heerlen, later to be a official member of the Stoottroepen. The armband MID indicates Militaire Inlichtingen Dienst or Military Intelligence Service. The grouping consists of a great number of items ranging from resistance armbands to pins, manuals and other paperwork. The grouping is to Dhr. Vijgen, who served various duties during the occupation and liberation of the southern Netherlands. The large book that comes with the group contains a large portion of the history of his resistance group. The book contains many secret resistance radio communication showing interesting information on operation Market Garden and other late war battles in the Netherlands. It concludes secret communication between the resistance and the Allies, but also what they heard from German radio communication. The group is very interesting for anyone researching the battles in the south of the Netherlands. It is surely a wealth of information for further research!

Pre war Heer EM/NCO sidecap with factory sewn eagle and cockade. The cap also retains a original white soutache for Infantry; but it’s sewn through the lining.  The cap is a medium but unreadable size. Beautiful pre war example!

Excellent aluminium Waffen-SS EM/NCO buckle in good, combat used condition. The belt buckle is clearly marked RZM 822/37 SS which indicates that this pre war example was produced in 1937 by a still unknown manufacturer (822). The buckle shows traces of usage and is a clearly combat used example! Nice pre war produced aluminium Waffen-SS belt buckle!

Textbook Heer EM/NCO sidecap with factory zigzag applied insignia. The sidecap is in great untouched, near mint condition dated 1942. Excellent example that would be impossible to upgrade!

Textbook pre war Heer EM/NCO visor cap marked Schellenberg Sonderklasse. The visor is in very good, worn condition with a nice patina overall. Good example with early insignia!

Rare pre war and complete Veterinär Satteltasche 29 by Hauptner. The Sanitäter bag is in complete condition and retains all of its period components. These pouches can be found partially complete or perhaps in damaged condition. The pouch retains all original containers and tools and as far as I can tell, is 100% complete.

Textbook Waffen-SS EM / NCO collar tab 3. SS-Panzer-Division Totenkopf. Typical example embroidered on doeskin.

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!
