German helmet

A mint blue Heer buckle by Bruder Schneider in the original factory wrapping. These buckles where wrapped in used newspaper against scratching. First time I see a mint buckle still in its original factory wrapping!

A very nice M43 field tunic made from HBT linnen or Drillich. It comes with its original factory applied Litzen and breast eagle. The jacket is a nice medium size and marked  0/0150/0041 which dfers to the maker M. Michovius, Uniformfabrik, Cottbus. The jacket has been worn in the field and still has dirt in the pockets and stains on the elbows and the back. The tunic has multiple small mud/dirt stains. The jacket was found on the attic of a Belgian hospital around 20 years ago together with 3 other identical HBT m43 tunics from the same maker with the exact same insignia configuration.

A brown leather P38 holster in strong used condition. One of the loops on the back has a period repair. If you’re looking for a combat worn holster, this is it!

Nice pair of late war EM Schulterklappen for a Panzergrenadier in mint condition. Rayon piped and lined textbook construction but in Italian wool. This is the first ever pair I saw in Italian wool. A perfect pair to match with a minty Italian M43 or M44 tunic!

A late war Heer Splittertarn 4-panel zeltbahn in good used condition. The Zeltbahn is nicely marked R.B.N.R. 0/0835/0001 and has most of its originally sewn buttons. Interestingly, the two corner panels on the Zeltbahn are visibly made out of Carbon Overprint fabric if one takes a closer look. One or two small damages, other then that a nice late war zeltbahn!

Rare original Dutch Waffen-SS poster dated 1942. The poster is large (108 x80cm) and in good condition with strong colours. There are some minor damages and tears in the folds. But still a very nice original Dutch Waffen-SS poster that would very nicely display in a collection!
The poster reads:

Moet ik ook? Neen! U moet niet maar FLINKE KERELS melden zich aan bij het Vrijwilligerslegioen-Nederland, hoofdkwartier Koninginnegracht 22 Den Haag.

Must I go too? NO! U don’t have to but fit or strong men should report to the Volunteers legion Nederland, hoofdkwartier Koninginnegracht 22 Den Haag.

 

A very nice and salty M1 helmet by McCord with its original Lieutenant bars. The helmet is in salty, uncleaned condition. The shell is marked 288 and retains its original Fixed bale chinstrap loops. The liner is a type 3 westinghouse variant with press studs for the liner band. A nice and salty M1 helmet with liner and Lieutenant bars!

A stunning(!) original winter camouflage gasmask canister in untouched condition. The canister still retains most of its original winter camouflage   that has various stains from dirt and blood. The canister retains its original straps and closing mechanism that have never been removed or replaced from the canister. Inside is a nice canvas covered gasmask with filter, spare lenses and a polishing cloth. Untouched winter camouflage items are extremely hard to find as most where overpainted as the snow melt. If you after a real, untouched winter camouflage gasmask canister this is the one for you. You will definitely not find a better one!

A very nice Luftwaffe tropical field blouse for a flight or paratrooper Unterfeldwebel. The field blouse is complete with a machine sewn original Kreta cuff title and a set of tropical yellow piped shoulderstraps for a Unterfeldwebel. The breast eagle is machine sewn to the field blouse but is restored to the piece. The field blouse is in good, lightly worn condition and would be a very nice display tunic!

A nice mapcase that was found with the items inside. The small wallet has a set of shoulder straps numbers indicating the individual soldier was a member of Infanterie Regiment 19. The mapcase is in strong used condition but still nice and supple and more importantly, with its original contents!

A nice pair of late war M37 lowboots marked 0/0441/5032 in lightly worn condition. A nice large size fitting most if not all mannequins and complete with a set of leather laces. Marked 0/0441/5032 on the top. These lowboots where issued to most personnel in the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. A nice and textbook set with the shark type nose! A matching pair of typical M37 lowboots in good condition is hard to find!

A nice second pattern Afrikakorps pith helmet in unissued condition. The helmet comes with typical lightweight dust goggles often seen on these helmets. The helmet is dated 1942 and is size 57. The helmet is complete with its chinstrap and its zinc insignia.

Original Waffen-SS Bevo cap eagle in unissued condition.

A stunning Luftwaffe M35 double decal camouflage helmet found in Leersum, the Netherlands. The helmet retains 90% of its original three-tone turtle-like camouflage scheme with bright and vibrant colours. Easily seen are the two Luftwaffe decals peeking through the paint! Also the helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap in good untouched condition. The helmet would make a very nice example for any camouflage collection!

A original minty and matching pair of Infantry EM Heer shoulder straps. The shoulderstraps have the early style white wool piping indicating production between 1940 and 1942. The straps are a perfect matching pair for a M40 or M41 tunic and would be very hard to upgrade!

A original Italian made late war double button Heer M43 field cap. One of several collectible and rare to encounter variants. This variant, with machine sewn embroided insignia is made fully out Italian made materials. The buttons, fabric and insignia are all Italian made. A rare to find original M43 field cap!

A very nice Dot44 or Erbsentarn camouflage HBT combat tunic. This tunic is in very good condition and has nice colours. Inside and on one sleeve a few dark green stains can be seen. The tunic has a few machine sewn repairs (see pictures). The sleeve does not show signs of a sleeve eagle being removed. The size is big and good for most mannequins. The tunic is marked 0/0793/0101 indicating production by Textil und Bekleidungswerke GmbH Becker. Clearly a original Waffen-SS camouflage tunic in lightly worn condition.

A perfect mint set for a mid to late war Heer or Waffen-SS tunic in blue paint. Hard to find spare set!
