German helmet

Near mint, 1936 dated Hitlerjugend knife in excellent condition. The blade retains up to 99% of its perfect, spotless finish. The motto is clearly readable, the scabbard still retains its early blued finish. The leather loop is supple and it’s Stocko marked press stud is in functional condition.The knife is a near perfect example that would be very hard to upgrade. Textbook 1936 dated piece, marked J. A. Henckels Solingen Zwillingswerk Ges. Geschützt RZM M7/10. For sure a keeper!

Very nice first pattern orange coloured butterdish in overall very good condition. The lid and bottom part are sadly mismatching but the butterdish is found as is. The lid is an interesting example marked with 3 letter code ggj which indicates an unknown manufacturer, encountering 3 letter codes on resin/bakelite items is quite rare! Very nice example!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RFNr. 1/1044/0014 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SScombat mannequin!

Rare original spare MP44 gas plug. These would be installed in the front of the gas tube to adjust the pressure and would have the double use as a rifle stacking rod. Nice and rare spare piece!

Textbook non-reversible Sumpftarn parka trousers in very good condition. The trousers are in the so called hard edged ’43 Sumpftarn pattern. The trousers retain their straps, buttons and wooden toggles and would be very hard to upgrade. The trousers are in a nice large size fitting most modern mannequins.

Textbook 1944 dated FF33 (Feldfernsprecher 33) field telephone in great used condition. The bakelite housing of the field telephone is completely undamaged and is in overall good condition. Textbook example in good condition!

Note: The field phone appears to be in good shape and is complete with all the necessary parts to use it including the battery box which is mostly broken or missing. I have not opened or tested the field phone!

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!

Rare original US army manual for M4 and M4A1 Sherman tanks. The manual is complete and in very good unissued condition. A very rare manual that is a nice addition to any tanker display!

Rare opportunity to acquire a authentic helmet as worn by the French resistance or FFI. The helmet retains its period painted FFI, Croix de Lorraine and French flag. The helmet is in untouched condition and would be hard to upgrade. A unusual, authentic helmet for a French resistance member that would be very hard to upgrade!

M1926 French Adrian helmet for Police de Vichy which was the police force during the German occupation of France.

Late war no decal M42 helmet marked HKP66 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains its factory installed liner in the large size 59 with its factory finish retaining up to 95%. Excellent and textbook example! The helmet came straight out of a household clearing in Denmark and has never been in a collection before!

Tall pre war issue jackboots or Knobelbecher in very good condition. The boots are a good large size 28 and are manufactured in unblackened, light coloured leather. The boots retain their original pull straps, soles, hardware and stitching. The top of the boots retain their period unit markings. A spectacular pair of boots that would be perfect for a mannequin display!
