German helmet

Untouched M40 single decal Luftwaffe helmet marked

Excellent Bavarian first world war M1915 EM Pickelhaube with the crest for Bayern. The Pickelhaube is in good, untouched condition and would be very hard to upgrade.

Excellent Luftwaffe Fliegerbluse in very good used condition.The breast eagle is a factory applied example with a T-pattern stitch. Beautiful mix of glass and resin buttons can be found on the garment. The Fliegerbluse is a very nice example with a nice light patina that could easily be restored with collar tabs and shoulderstraps at choice!

This is an extremely rare Wehrpass of a very interesting SS Regiment, that was from december 1940 onwards part of SS Divison Wiking!!!! It is in amazingly good condition.

 

Beautiful, pre war quality officers service dress for a Major der Gebirgsjägertruppen. The garment is constructed out of high quality wool that would be very hard to upgrade.

Original NSBO or Deutsche Nationalsozialistische Betriebszellenorganisation flag for the district ‘Heilbronn Wartberg 21’. A large flag with silver fringe all round and all but one pole attachment hooks. Nice and decorative item!

Late war m42 helmet marked EF66 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda. The helmet is a rare late war example painted in slate grey paint, with its factory finish retaining up to 95%. Beautiful, late war example!

A very rare pair of original USMC HBT pants in very good condition. These USMC P-44 utility or ‘Monkey’ pants. These trousers have three large cargo pockets allowing a large amount of storage on the side and back of the trousers. The large back pocket was cumbersome and often removed. The trousers are ID’ed R.A. Hintzke 1129784 which indicates the possibility of further research. The trousers have only light wear without damages. There is one replaced button on the side cargo pocket. None the less; a very rare pair of trousers which are harder to obtain then M-1942 paratrooper trousers!

Waffen-SS EM / NCO RZM runic collar tab in perfect condition. Hard to upgrade piece with 44 marked RZM tag!

MG34 u. MG42 MGZ34 optics case in two tone camouflage. Hard to find optical case for the MGZ34 Lafette optics for the MG34. The case retains the original inserts and backstraps. The case has a small shrapnel damage on the lid going from the inside out indicating it was open when it was struck. This is the first time I have seen one of these cases in the sought after camouflage paint. The pull tab of the closing latch is a period replacement made out of a piece of leather. Really interesting example in used condition in the typical two tone camouflage pattern which can be attributed to FJR6!

Minty late war Waffen-SS Zeltbahn in Eichenlaubmuster or Oak A,B ánd mostly C camouflage. The camouflage on this zeltbahn is said to be Oak C, which is slightly different to B. Oak C is mostly unknown but gets accredited in Waffen-SS Camouflage Uniforms [1]. The Zeltbahn is in very good condition and has most if not all of its originally sewn buttons. The camouflage material used is in good, bright and vibrant condition. This is one of the rarest Waffen-SS Zeltbahns in  Oak “C” Camouflage!

Rare late war flare ammunition pouch in good used condition. The case is made from blue webbing and comes with its original removable sling. The pouch is complete with all internal dividers and wooden reinforcement and some empty casings. Nicely marked WaA on the side. Quite hard to find a better Luftwaffe one!
