German helmet

Textbook Kriegsmarine double decal helmet marked ET62 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a textbook, double decal example in very good condition. The Kriegsmarine ordered its personnel to remove the Tricolor decal in 1940 and not many have survived this order. The helmet retains its factory installed liner with 1940 dated chinstrap. A impeccable textbook example would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice original Reibert manual. These manuals where private issue in the 1940’s and a very popular item. These manuals are very thorough and they talk over every single aspect the German soldier was taught in. The book contains German history, Drills, Mannerisms, squad formations, weapons handling, shooting and maintenance, airplane recognition, horse riding, ranks, how to behave/write/talk, heavy weapons and so on and so on.

They where brought out in different versions, this one being the variant for the “Schützen der Schützenkompanie” or simply riflemen. The manual counts 332 pages and is in readable condition.

Beautifully decorated M31 messkit from Valentin Muravsky, most probably released in 1953. Although, most probably postwar worn; this example is a classical time capsule worthy of further research!

Excellent straight E-tool in very good used condition. The E-tool features a makers logo depicting a lion which is unknown to me. Nice clean example in very good condition that is quite hard to obtain nowadays.

Excellent pre war Polizei issue M31 breadbag which is easily recognizable by the colour of the fabric. Textbook pre war example with high quality fabric, aluminium hardware and leather reinforcements on the belt loops. The breadbag is nicely marked Po 1939 and seems to be named but this is sadly not clearly readable. Very nice example!

Rare US army rain hat in size medium dated 1942. These foul weather uniforms were issued with trousers and a jacket to US Army and US Navy personnel. The hat is in good supple condition. More information on these hats here.

A very nice late war Waffen-SS belt buckle made by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid. These buckles where made later in the war and came unmarked. A textbook buckle in great condition still retaining up to 85% of it’s original finish!

Textbook Heer M42 single decal helmet in good used condition. The helmet is marked hkp64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and paint up to 90%. Textbook example!

Textbook Danish reissued M42 helmet in size 64. The helmet was reissued in the Danish army postwar.

Original Heer EM/NCO buckle tabbed steel buckle marked R. Sieper & Sohne 1940. Textbook example in very good condition!

Textbook US Navy deck jacket in good, untouched condition. The jacket is named 3 times and comes in the big size 40 which is a perfect mannequin size.

A nice photo album for a soldier serving in Infanterie Regiment 65 part of the 22 Luftlande division who took part in the invasion of the Netherlands in 1940. The album has many interesting photos including with glider landings, heavy MG’s, Mortars and other accompanying documents. A very nice and complete album which would be a great base for further research!
