German helmet

A stunning pair of late war M37 lowboots marked 0/0744/5061 in very good unissued condition. A nice large size fitting most if not all mannequins and complete with a set of leather laces. Marked 0/0744/5061 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 minty condition is hard to find!

A nice complete set marked CWU indicating production by Georg Kremp, vorm. Aktiengesellschaft für Optik und Mechanik, Wetzlar-Lahn. These where used to read angles on maps in a 6400 mills scale.

This messkit was captured and refinished by the Germans during the war. The M.23/31 messkit was made from tin coated steel. It has been captured and at some point made its way in the German production lines being refinished in the way most of the steel post 1942 messkits where finished in red and olive paint. It is the only Polish messkit I’ve seen so far reissued and refinished in this way.

A nice US M1943 folding E-tool in good unissued condition with a transitional case.

Hard to find pair of US WW2 Jumpboots. The boots are in good worn condition and retain their original laces. The laces have been repaired at a few points. The size is 10 1/2. A nice worn pair for a paratrooper mannequin!

A nice original MP38 u. MP40 sling in very good condition. Very hard to find in this condition!

Leather tool pouch for the MG15 machinegun. Nicely marked with the Luftwaffe contract number and maker marked FZS indicating production by Waffenfabrik Heinrich Krieghoff, Suhl. 

A nice minty M35 beaded Luftschutz helmet with its original chinstrap and size 56 liner.

A scarce original P08 Luger holster with Kriegsmarine acceptance stamp. The holster is nicely marked Lederwarenwerk Curt Vogel Cottbus 1938 on the back with in addition a Waffenamt and a Kriegsmarine acceptance stamp. Kriegsmarine P08 holsters are very scarce!

A stunning speckled brown bakelite 6×30 binocular case. Later in the war when the Germans ran out of pigment for bakelite they switched over to different fillers. Sawdust was one of the filling materials used, creating a interesting speckled finish. The brown bakelite dienstglas containers where mostly found with tan 6×30 binoculars. The case is in very good, undamaged condition and has a very aesthetic and vibrant light brown colour which would nicely attribute a late war uniform setup.

A deep brown coloured butterdish in good condition. The bakelite is free of cracks and is a nice deep brown colour. Nicely dated 1944 on both halves. The butterdish opens in a 1/3 turn as it should.

Stunning 4-tone hand painted M42 helmet with battleship grey and sea green camouflage paint. The helmet is a complete untouched example with a very vibrant and stunning camouflage pattern. The helmet bears no decal but the colours are those typically seen on coastal artillery camouflage patterns such as Battleship grey and sea green. The helmet is marked NS62 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The helmet is in very good used condition and still retains its original chinstrap and liner. The helmet would very nicely contribute to any Kriegsmarine or Kustenartillerie collection. The colours are nice and vibrant and better in hand then on the pictures!

Very heavy Heer M40 Wachmantel in great unissued condition still retaining up to 100% of the nap in the wool. Nice big size fitting most if not all mannequins. A rare mantel to find, especially in this condition!

Mint steel Heer belt buckle with originally sewn tab. Nicely marked C.W.Motz. & Co. Brandenburg a. H. 1941. The buckle retains 99% of its original factory paint. If you just want one Heer belt buckle this is it!

Hard to find worn pair of Heer EM shoulderstraps in rough Italian wool. Tunics in this coarse Italian material are easily found but matching shoulderstraps in this wool are incredibly rare to find.

A very nice M31 canteen marked ESB 40 indicating production by Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin. The cloth cover has one or two moth damages. Otherwise the canteen is mint!

Rare Heer/Waffen-SS pullover shirt. Typical type pullover shirt or Diensthemd. The shirt is made from a grey grey coloured cotton with paper buttons. One button on the cuff is missing. The shirt has buttons and buttonholes for shoulderboards. Ink stamped in the collar area 0/0917/0030 and in a nice medium size. Rare and textbook Heer/Waffen-SS shirt in mint condition!

A stunning Heer M40 EM Feldbluse in mint/unissued condition with the original factory paper tag. The tunic is not shortened, modified or restored in any way. The dark green Litzen are factory sewn to the collar and indicate production prior to May 1940 when the grey Einheitslitzen where introduced. The breast eagle is factory machine sewn on the top, flipped and finished by hand. The picture coming after the breast eagle shot shows the stitch line, underneath the lining. The tunic has one small hole on the inside underneath the pocket, not visible from the outside. This is really a stunning textbook M40 tunic as worn and issued prior to May 1940, and possibly also worn in the 1940 campaigns!

Nice original EM Heer Feldbluse in good worn condition. The tunic has factory sewn Litzen and a handsewn  Gefreiter chevron. The breast eagle is showing wear and patina but is handsewn to the tunic. The tunic is in good worn condition and would nicely make the base for a combat mannequin.

A nice Luftwaffe DR2 Dreieckrechner navigational computer. These 15cm discs where necessary in navigating with maps and coordinates. Typically carried by Luftwaffe aircrew. Nicely marked Dennert & Pappe and dated 1941 and in very good condition.
