German helmet

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!

A superb, near mint example of a Fliegerleuchtpistole L. These flare pistols where used by flying personnel of the Luftwaffe on missions.

A nice original Waffen-SS officers service tunic in very good condition. This is the perfect base for a restoration.

The ghosts and traces of the SS insignia are easily seen; a sleeve eagle, collar tabs and a cuff title. The tunic is a small to medium size but would be a very good base to restore. These tunics are very hard to find as most are either restored as SS or wrongly as Heer.
