German militaria

A very nice original War Merit Cross first class without swords or Kriegsverdienstkreuz ohne Schwerter first class by Julius Bauer.

Nice original MG42 ruptured cartridge remover marked hoz WaA14 indicating production by Bernhard Zade, Berlin. This tool is a standard component from the MG tool kit! Unlike the MG34 example the MG42 variant is very hard to find!

M31 breadbag in mint condition. Excellent piece that would be hard to upgrade.

A very nice late war blue belt buckle or Einheitskoppelschloss in near mint condition. The belt buckle still retains 100% of it’s original factory paint! A very nice Heer belt buckle that would be hard to upgrade!

Textbook uniform cut M36 breast eagle with factory sewing. Typical machine sewn top and finished by hand. Great example to study for insignia sewing!

Textbook DAF or Deutsche Arbeits Front crank catch belt buckle in very good condition. The belt buckle is the rare crank catch variant and is nicely maker marked RZM M4/39 A indicating production by Assmann & Sohne.

Beautiful lightbrown FF33 field phone carrying strap in very good condition. Nicely maker marked and dated gjj 40.

Beautiful and mint K98 bayonet frog marked 1943 R.B.Nr. 0/0556/0078. 

Original 29th Infantry division patch. Rare oval variant with blackback, most probably a British made variant.

Unissued late war black pebbled leather mapcase maker marked RBNr. 1/1007/0005. Nice piece in unissued condition!

Interesting Wehrpass grouping to Lorenz Reinert consisting of his Wehrpass, Arbeitsbuch, Gesundheitspass, Feldpost and his pass for the Baueinsatz Westwall in his original cover. The cover and most of his paperwork are all shrapnel or bullet damaged whilst it was carried in this cover. Reinert wasn’t a frontline soldier but was working on the Westwall near Bergheim in December 1944. This is most probably also the rough date his paperwork was damaged. The grouping would be a nice base for further research and very hard to find battle damaged paperwork!

Beautiful first pattern black and brown speckled butterdish or Fettbüchse marked F7S. The butterdish looks black but close inspection reveals its fully speckled with dark brown spots. Aesthetic variant!

Original headspace gauge marked Schußwaffen 98, M.G.08 u. 08/15, 34C, 20818, 1943 WH. Rare waffenmeister accessorie in good condition.

Stunning Heer Splittertarn Zeltbahn in strongly used condition but still with strong and vivid colours. The Zeltbahn has some damages. The Zeltbahn retains most if not all of its originally applied aluminium buttons. No markings are found on this example.

Original late war third pattern Wehrmacht issue vehicle first aid kit or Verbandkasten. Excellent third pattern example in wood!

A very nice original lightweight Y-strap as issued and used by the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Kavallerie. Nicely dated 1940! The Y-strap is in good unissued condition.

Nice Heer Splittertarn Zeltbahn in good used condition but still with vivid colours. The Zeltbahn has some damages and some small period repairs. The Zeltbahn retains most if not all of its originally applied zinc buttons. The Zeltbahn is faintly marked with an unreadable RBNr.

Excellent late war M42 canteen with red steel flask. The red steel flask itself is unmarked. The cover is nicely ink stamped R&K which is an often seen stamp on canteen covers and straps. The canteen features a nice combination of brown and black leather. Black phenolic resin (Bakelite) cup marked gfc 1941. Nice example of an M42 steel canteen in an overall good condition!
