German helmet

A very nice M31 Zeltbahn in Splittertarn camouflage. Hard to upgrade with strong colours, all ropes and most if not all originally sewn buttons. Nicely named Leginski Zeltbahn in very good, uncleaned condition.

Minty late war breadbag marked RF.-Nr. 1/0047/0003.

Unique late war straight E-tool carrier manufactured from rest material and most interesting; two colours of material. The carrier is in light used condition and it is named on the yellow part. This is the first and only Presstoff E-tool carrier in this model I’ve ever seen, surely one of the last ones produced from rest materials!

Stunning original Panzer overseas cap dated 1940. Complete with its hand sewn original BeVo insignia with pink Waffenfarbe. The cap is in mint condition showing virtually no wear. The cap is marked inside Lago-Berlin 1941, size 57 and B.II.40. The cap retains multiple Russian depot markings indicating it was captured during the war. The cap is in mint condition and would be very hard to upgrade. Perfect to top on a mint Panzer wrap and exceptionally rare!

Stunning untouched Luftwaffe field repaint gasmask canister complete with its originally attached straps and gascape. The gasmask and its case are nicely named and ID’ed to Franz Boeser with the Feldpost number 44960 indicating the following units; 44960
(30.7.1941-28.2.1942) Nachschub-Leitstelle der Luftwaffe Triest,
(8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 26.1.1944 Nachschub-Leitstelle der Luftwaffe
6/VII.

His unit was most likely disbanded in 1944 and reformed into a Felddivision. Franz Boeser is not listed on the Volksbund archive indicating he most probably survived the war. The typical green camouflage paint externally covering the gasmask surely indicates this. The canister is a great example of a typical Luftwaffe issued gasmask, complete with its untouched accessories which is very hard to find these days!

Stunning M40 subtle field division Ex-netted camouflage helmet. A great original Luftwaffe camouflage helmet camouflaged with green and brown tones externally. Looking between the liner one can see the remnants of a Tarnnetz that once addorned the exterior of the shell. A nice large sized helmet in very good condition! The helmet retains its original liner and toned Luftwaffe decal.

A very nice steel early MG34 ammunition box. The box has been camouflaged in a nice light tan paint. The box retains up to 85% of its original wartime applied camouflage paint.

A stunning set consisting of a early set of dust goggles and its original first type aluminum protective container and spare lenses. Typical goggles as worn by motorized units such as Pilots, motorcycle troops and Panzergrenadiere!

Nice late war mapcase in good used condition. Complete with some of its original contents. The mapcase is a late war variant in thin rough leather. Hard to find!

A nice matching numbers bayonet with frog marked cof 41 indicating production by Waffenfabrik Carl Eickhorn, Solingen. The bayonet is in very good unsharpened and uncleaned condition. Found together with the leather frog. A nice matching set in very good condition!

Rare matching pair of m43 pattern Sanitäter shoulder straps in unissued condition. The pair is nicely dark blue rayon piped indicating Sanitätstruppen and finished with late subdued Unteroffizierstresse with the rank of Unteroffizier. There are a few small moth holes on the top, otherwise a mint exceptionally rare pair of shoulder straps.

Possibly the best pair of M37 lowboots I’ve had to offer. Dated 1939 complete with the pull tabs that where discontinued in 1940. The boots are a nice large mannequin size and are in good supple condition. The boots are complete with their original laces and all eyelets and hooks they should have. The boots where issued to someone with two uneven feet and therefor slightly modified during the war. Most boots that one would find are mid to late war, a pre war pair is very rare to find!

Truly stunning ET64 M35 three-tone on top of a winter white wash camouflage helmet. The helmet is nicely marked ET64 indicating production by Eissenhuttewerke Thale. The helmet is complete with its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet. The helmet retains up to 85% of its original camouflage paint. Looking at the helmet it is obvious the helmets finish consists of several layers of camouflage paint. The base of the helmet is a double decal Luftwaffe M35 helmet with a reinforced aluminum liner and EA 41 marked chinstrap. On top of that externally a winter white wash camouflage. This is covered up with a dark blue Luftwaffe Reissue paint which also sits on the aluminum liner band. This is finished with a three-tone spray paint camouflage paint that is normally referred to as Normandy camouflage. Another feature in these thick layers of paint is that one can see the imprint of a wire or string that once adorned the top of the shell. The helmet was recently found in Norway. The helmet bears a pencil marking on the left side that resembles the Norwegian royal symbol indicating possible resistance use. The helmet is a great example of usage throughout the war, featuring multiple wartime repaints and finally finished in brightly colored and contrastful three-tone camouflage. Finding a better one that “has it all” would be hard!

Nice black leather mapcase marked bml 42 indicating production by Hans Römer, Neu-Ulm. The mapcase is complete with its clear map over and a Meldeblock.

A nice matching numbers bayonet with frog marked AB 41  indicating production by Mundlos AG, Magdeburg. The bayonet is in very good unsharpened and uncleaned condition. Found together with the leather frog marked Otto Koberstein. A nice matching set in good used condition!

A nice brown pre war Heer mapcase unit marked 2./Sch.R.3. I. The mapcase is maker marked and dated Ernst Köhnen Solingen 1936. 

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet marked J. Sch. 1939indicating production by Jetter und Scheerer. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 899 e and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good, uncleaned, unsharpened and matching (!) condition.
