German helmet

A nice original holster in supple chocolate brown leather for the P35(b). FN High-Power pistol. Nicely marked clg 4 indicating production by Ernst Melzig, Lederwaren, Liegnitz. A nice original holster for the P35(b). FN High-Power pistol in unissued condition!

Reissued M16 double decal Heer helmet in very good, lightly used condition. The helmet retains both of its originally applied decals, liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a nice example in a deep apple green colour with 95% of its original finish remaining. The helmet is a desirable size 66 shell with a size 57 liner. The crown of the helmet has a black ink stamp 57. The helmet is a stunning example of a reissued Austrian helmet!

One of the rarest accessories to any Wehrmacht artillery piece, for sure always missing! These lanyards with a pullweight where attached to the breech of the gun to create a safe space between the breech and the gunner. The breech would fly back with a high velocity breaking anything in its path such as limbs. Firing a artillery piece live without one would result in heavy injuries. The weight is nicely marked bzo indicating production by J. F. Kayser, Maschinenfabrik, Nürnberg-O. For sure one of the rarest items I’ve had to offer!

Rare late war 4 panel Zeltbahn in Reduced Splittertarn pattern. The Zeltbahn is in very good unissued condition and comes with most if not all originally sewn brown(!) metal Italian buttons. This is one of the rarest Zeltbahns to find and this one is most probably the best example out there. Hard to upgrade!

Stunning untouched Heer M43 combat tunic. One of the most common tunics issued and worn by members of the Heer during the Normand and later campaigns but exceptionally hard to find in this unwashed, untouched condition. The garment retains the period factory sewn Einheitslitzen. The breast eagle is period factory sewn through the liner with a T-stitch(!). The garment retains weapon oil, mud and sweat stains. The garment has a lot of wear but minor moth damage. If you are looking for a real untouched combat tunic; this is it.

A very nice latewar messkit or Kochgeschirr made by Annweiler Email-u.Metall-Werke in late 1944 or 1945. The marking RBNR. 0/0657/0001 was a latewar substitute for AEM.A. which is usually stamped on items from this maker. This messkit is finished with enamel and after that painted over before it left the factory. The messkit retains 90% of its original enamel finish.

A truly uncommon and interesting latewar messkit!

Original grey Waffen-SS BeVo sleeve eagle. This is a typical example of a combat worn and tunic removed original Waffen-SS BeVo sleeve eagle that would be the perfect match to a worn tunic!

Nice lightbrown Sanitäter pouches in very good, unissued condition. One of them is marked dny 1941 indicating production by Karl Bollmann & Co., Lederwarenfabrik, Tuttlingen. There are a few scissors inside the pouch.

A nice original Y-strap in good used condition marked RBNr. 0/0871/0015 . The Y-strap is a late war type with a late war backstrap with the “wire” hook. The strap is a nice supple and complete example, typical as issued to the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS.

Typical black late war holster for the CZ27 pistol in pebbled leather. Nicely marked on the carrying loop!

Rare pre war fuze setting pouch marked J. Ensch &Co. Ohrdruf 1934. The leather is in good, supple condition.

A very nice 6×30 Dienstglas complete with strap and bakelite rain guard marked bmj indicating production by Hensoldt u. Soehne, Mechanisch-Optische Werke AG, Wetzlar . The binoculars are in good clear condition with the rangefinder or Strichplatte still retaining in the right reticle. The binoculars are named and unit marked to 8. Kompanie 544. 544 possibly refers to Infanterie/Grenadier regiment 544. A nice named piece in good condition!

Untouched British MKII helmet dated 1938. Hard to find these pre war MKII helmets in good, untouched condition.

A very nice late war M31 Kochgeschirr marked MKL 40. The messkit is in great condition and still retains up to 95% of the factory paint. This maker mark is only scarcely encountered!

Truly a stunning textured three tone Normandy camouflage helmet. The helmet is a real stunner; named, loads of patina, vibrant colours and a Luftwaffe decal peaking through the paint! The helmet is a size 64 but it does not have a readable maker marking. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap and is in untouched condition. The short part of the chinstrap is loose but comes with the helmet. The helmet retains up to 90% of its thick wartime applied camouflage paint. The thick textured vehicle camouflgage paint is often referred to as Rautarn or even Zimmerit and is topped with a stunning three-tone Normandy camouflage pattern that also covers the skirt of the helmet internally.

If you’re looking for a killer camouflage helmet that will tick all your boxes this is it!

Rare late war brown leather carbine holding belt or Karabinertragevorrichtung nicely marked qdv 44 and RBNR. These belt loops where worn on the back between the bayonet and the breadbag. One of the hardest accessories to find with a cavalry display. Rather impossible really!

The Italian army messkit (Gavetta Modello 1930) was a commonly seen item within the German army. Prior to re-issue in the German army they where mostly painted green by the Germans. This Italian messkit is the best one I’ve ever seen!

A very nice M31 canteen marked C&C.W. 40 indicating production by Colsmann & Co, Werdohl. The canteen is nicely named to Hauptmann Scholl. Hard to upgrade all matching canteen in near mint condition!
