German helmet

A pebbled brown leather pouch for the K98 grenade launcher with its original sling. Nicely marked CXB 44 indicating production by Moll, Lederwarenfabrik, Goch, Rheinland. Incredibly rare piece; only a handful are known to exist in brown leather, this is the first one I’ve seen in pebbled leather and is most probably a unique piece!

Stunning white camouflaged gasmask canister in untouched condition. The canister has a wartime applied spray painted winter camouflage paint. The straps are original to the piece and are also covered in the same white paint. The canister retains up to 85% of its wartime applied paint with lots of patina. The canister is named inside Anneliese Schmiedbarer 20269 with the Feldpostnummer indicating the following units;

20269
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) 8. Kompanie Infanterie-Regiment 4
(2.1.1940-27.4.1940) gestrichen, wurde Fp.Nr. 28594 E
(28.4.1940-14.9.1940) Heeres-Kraftfahr-Bezirk II
(15.9.1940-31.1.1941) Heeres-Kraftfahr-Bezirk XXXIV
(24.3.1944-6.11.1944) 25.8.1944 Kfz-Instandsetzungs-Regiment 34.

Finding a original winter camouflage gasmask canister is very hard; especially in this untouched condition with wartime attached straps!

Rare late war Sanitäter rucksack marked Bollmann Tuttlingen 1943. Nicely named H Josinski on the D-ring base. The rucksack is complete with the period factory sewn Red Cross insignia. Extremely scarce piece in very good, lightly worn condition!

Excellent first world war M16 helmet with period applied geometrical camouflage pattern often referred to as Mimikri. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original finish and its original liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a nice large size 66. A very nice helmet that would be very hard to upgrade!

Unique US Airborne scrapbook for the 506 Parachute Infantry. This very example belonged to LT Col. Charles Chase which was a personal gift for his father. The scrapbook is in good, somewhat used condition but retains its original paper cover which is virtually always missing! Unique scrapbook from one of the second highest officer serving in the 506 PIR!

Textbook hand screened plane tree 2/2 Waffen-SS Zeltbahn in strong used condition with many depot style repairs. This is a pre war 1939 dated example with green/brown anodized buttons and grommets. The Zeltbahn retains its nice camouflage colours and would nicely add to any SS collection!

Stunning Q68 Luftwaffe double decal M35 helmet. The helmet retains up to 95% of its factory paint and decals, with its originally mounted size 60 liner and chocolate brown strap. The helmet is in very good untouched condition and has several white dust specks which could easily be cleaned with a damp cloth without harming the helmet if desired. I however quite like the finish and would advise against it. The helmet is a great example of a exceptionally large sized Luftwaffe double decal helmet in very good untouched and as found condition!

Stunning and uncommon Luftwaffe reissue helmet. The helmet is marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains its original non-reinforced liner and LBA marked chinstrap in great condition. The helmet is a typical but rare Reissue example with a rough overpaint masking the pre war blue paint and decals. The rough reissue overpaint is topped off with a decal and naming in the skirt of the helmet. The helmet is unit marked to 1. Kompanie Flak Regiment 29 5. Batterie inside the dome and underneath the leather. The helmet is named to Oberstleutnant Krichler in the skirt of the shell.  The helmet would be a very nice base for further research for Oberstleutnant Krichler which is a very high rank! Very hard to find a Luftwaffe reissue helmet, this is the first and best one I’ve seen!

A very nice pre war double decal m40 Polizei helmet. The helmet is nicely marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke Thale with the lot number 1031. The helmet retains its original factory installed liner. The original early borderless Polizei decals still retain up to 90%. A very nice M40 Polizei helmet that would be a very nice addition to any helmet collection!

A nice original pair of green MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouches marked CLG43 in good condition. The pouches are marked CLG 43 indicating production by Ernst Melzig Lederwaren, Liegnitz. The pouches are undamaged bu the leather closing straps on the front have some surface cracking. The leather is smooth and supple otherwise and would not hurt displayed on a mannequin or display. Excellent unissued pair!

Rare Waffen-SS cufftitle 21. SS-Gebirgsdivision Skanderbeg. Textbook example in BeVo-like construction. The cufftitle measures up to 49 cm and looks to be in unissued condition.

A very nice example of a pair of Wehrmacht Heer M43 combat trousers or Keilhosen. In good lightly used condition with most if not all of all its original sewn buttons. The wool is in great condition without damages, repairs or insect damage and still has most if not all of the nap and full contrasted field grey color remaining. The size is large and would fit most if not all mannequins. The leg ties have been wartime replaced with elastic, a alteration often seen. The trousers are in very good only lightly worn condition! A great pair for a mannequin that is very hard to find in this condition and size!

A stone mint Q66 Luftwaffe M40 helmet in stone mint condition. One of the first M40 Luftwaffe helmets with its size 58 reinforced aluminum liner. The helmet retains 99% of its original paint and 99% of its original Luftwaffe decal. The helmet is marked Q66 indicating production by Quist.  Simply the best Luftwaffe M40 helmet I’ve ever owned, a stunning top shelf example!
