German militaria

Textbook US M1942 parachutist jump jacket ID’ed D-0050 with period sewn type 3 variant 101st Airborne sleeve patch. The jacket is in very good, near mint condition. The garment no longer retains its label. The zipper is in working condition but has a small damage at the bottom. The jacket looks to be a good medium size and has a brass buckle at the waist belt. Textbook garment from a famous Airborne unit!

Late war US M1 front seam swivel bale US Navy helmet with Westinghouse liner. The helmet is in good used condition. The chinstraps are original to the shell but one has a sewn repair at the bale. The liner is marked W for Westinghouse. Nice original US Navy helmet!

Textbook US M1941 field jacket in light worn condition with just the right amount of character. The jacket is in a good medium size fitting most modern militaria mannequins.

Rare to find this complete like this; this BC-1000 is in full wartime setup and would be hard to upgrade. One thing missing is a battery, but they are IMO always missing. The receiver looks to be in good condition but I haven’t checked the function.

Textbook US Army K-Ration box without inner carton in used condition.

US K-Ration Beech-Nut chewing gum in unused condition.

A very nice matching bayonet marked 43 asw indicating production by E. & F. Horster & Co. Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 8697 and has nice clean red bakelite grips.

Textbook and near mint Luftschütz Gladiator helmet in excellent condition.

Rare, early (pre 1942) manufactured MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouch which is easily recognizable by the D-ring which is sewn in to the upper left corner. The magazine pouch is in excellent, light worn condition. The manufacturer of these pouches is still unidentified. Nice early example in very good condition.

I have added a comparison shot with another MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouch in my inventory which is not factory matching, but is a nice addition to this very pouch.

M31 messkit marked HRE 44 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The messkit retains its original factory paint up to 99% and would be impossible to upgrade. Stone mint example!

Nice 1937 dated tabbed aluminium Heer belt buckle marked Dransfeld & Co., Menden/W 1937. Nice used example!

Textbook brown coloured leather holster as issued for the Walther PP or PPK. This example is made by AKAH, D.R.G.M. and their makers logo is still partially visible. Nice detail is that there are two different shades of brown used in the construction. Excellent holster which would look great on an officers set up!

Textbook late war K98 bayonet frog in good used condition. The frog is nicely marked RFNr. but sadly the number itself is not clearly readable. Nice late war example!

Excellent matching set of two equipment straps with the quick release strap. The straps are in very good light used condition. The straps are nicely marked grg 5/42 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer in March 1942. The straps are both nicely named on multiple places.

Typical wartime “Knijpkat” torch. These flashlights where made utilizing forced labour from Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch. Unlike most of the wartime used flashlights the “knijpkat” doesn’t have a battery but uses a small internal dynamo. The mechanism is still in great condition and the torch still works!
