German helmet

Nice and complete US mounted(!) mapcase marked BOYT 42. The mapcase is filled with a number of maps of France, a compass, pencils, pens and its map case. A very nice ensemble !

Very nice early manufactured M38 gasmask in its original short and early manufactured canister which has been nicely field overpainted in Luftwaffe blue which perfectly matches the history of it because the mask has been used by a FLAK unit. The canister features a nice but messy written label on the inside, luckily the Feldpostnummer 10947 can easily be made out! Very nice example which would deserve some more research!

Very interesting M38 gasmask in its original short canister ID’ed to Hauptmann Pollin O., Fpn. 18462D – Panzer-Lehr-Division. Interestingly the mask is named Oberleutnant and the label itself read Hauptmann which suggest he ranked up while having this gasmask with him! The gasmask is multiply named/marked and is a very interesting research project. The label on the inside of the canister reads: Stab II Pz. Gren. 7 Kp., Hauptmann Rollin O., Feldpost 18462D

Nice original 10×50 power binoculars or Dienstglas in overall good condition. The binoculars come complete with all of its accessories: the rubber rain cover, the leather strap and the buttoning tab. The optics could be cleaned but are otherwise complete with reticle and are usable. One of the oculars has a crack, otherwise I can’t find damages. The Dientsglas is nicely marked blc which indicates production by Carl Zeiss, Jena. Nice (over)complete binoculars in very nice condition which came straight out of a household clearing in Denmark and has never been in a collection before!
