Hard to find canteen in unissued condition. These where issued and worn by women serving on the Flak guns or other auxiliary branches. Nicely marked HWSD 42.

Textbook Luftwaffe M31 breadbag complete with its original strap.

A original German army issue blanket. These blankets where issued and used members of the Heer and Waffen-SS. The importance of blankets in a war is very underestimated and where more then often the only comfort a soldier would have.

This blanket is in used condition, it has a few repairs and holes and the ends are fraying a bit. None the less, this is a original Wehrmacht issue blanket that would be perfect for a personal effects display and very nice correctly folded or strapped onto a Tornister or Rucksack!
