German militaria

US M1936 Musette bag in good used condition marked LUCE Manufacturing & Co. 1942. Nice complete example with general purpose carrying strap. The Musette bag has a number written on the inside of the flap which is nice for further research!

Original late war (1944) general purpose ammo bag marked B.B.S. Co. 1944. The bag is in good used condition.

US Navy lifebelt marked NXSS 16847 dated April 30 1943. 

Neat grouping to Sergeant Snyder Daniel W with two rare Australian made garments. The grouping has a base of paperwork with name and rank which is a nice base for further research.

Rare and textbook single vertical Waffen-SS Totenkopf embroided collar tab. This example is in good, as found condition showing age to the skull but is otherwise unissued. This one was bought by me, straight from the grandson of a Dutch resistance member who collected ‘souvenirs’ at the end of the war in and around the town of Breda. The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A textbook example that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!

Rare early SS-VT sleeve eagle in the textbook, early hammerhead design. Typical early or pre war example with black backing with remnants of the original RZM label. Super scarce bird that one was bought by me, straight from the grandson of a Dutch resistance member who collected ‘souvenirs’ at the end of the war in and around the town of Breda. The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A salty but original set, one that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!

Excellent Waffen-SS sport shirt insignia in shirt removed condition. The tag is in very good condition, with only slight age toning. This SS sports patch is extraordinarily clean, with no stains, holes or other damage, and only the slightest traces of age. It’s a textbook original example of this desirable patch, and remains in excellent condition. The patch measures approximately 10,5cm across and is constructed in the BeVo woven pattern. Excellent piece bought by me, straight from the grandson of a Dutch resistance member who collected ‘souvenirs’ at the end of the war in and around the town of Breda. The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A textbook example that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!

Original Waffen-SS rank for a SS-Rottenführer in good used condition.

Extremely rare and virtually impossible to find early SS-VT issued leather combat belt. These SS-VT issued belts are almost impossible to find because these were produced and issued pre war on a small scale. The belt is nicely marked “RZM 48/40 SS” which indicates that this was an SS-VT issued equipment belt. The maker/RZM code: “RZM 48/40 SS” is unknown and thereby the manufacturer of this belt is unclear. The equipment belt is of typical pre war high quality construction with high quality leather and aluminium hardware. The belt is nicely size marked 95 which would easily fit any modern mannequin but this example would look perfect in a loose display as well! The belt features some pencil writing on the inside: “Byx. B.” which probably indicates a name of the original owner. Excellent and extremely rare SS-VT issued equipment belt in good condition!

Rare original tropical Heer EM field cap for wear in the Afrika Korps. The example is a rare wartime converted example for officer use. The cap is a textbook EM example with a BeVo eagle which has been period upgraded for officer use by adding a silver cord around the crown and a leather sweatband inside. The cap shows moderate wear with the same patina overall. The cap shows signs of having the full bevo insignia, prior to having the national cockade to be replaced by a bullion example. The cap is a medium size around 56/57. Officer caps for use with the Afrikakorps are very rare, and this is a unique example that would be a great addition to any headgear collection!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, close to mint and most likely unissued condition. Notice how this Y-strap has green painted hooks where the rest of the hardware is bare metal, the placing of the marking is rarely seen as well! The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0156/0030 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0485/0002 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent late war lightweight Y-strap which was intended for usage by the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Kavallerie (Heer) but later on saw usage by all branches of the German forces. This example is vaguely marked with an ink stamp on the rear strap[ but sadly this is unreadable. Excellent example in stone mint and unissued condition!

Combat used Y-strap with uncommon skeleton wire hook on the rear strap. The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. but this became unreadable. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent unmarked late war steel Heer belt buckle. The buckle is nicely finished in green paint which is harder to come by than blue paint on these late war examples without the leather tab. The green paint still retains for around 80% and the buckle is in a good light used condition. Nice example that would look great on a late war combat mannequin!

Nice original British dust goggles which are dated 1941 in their original metal case. The goggles are nicely marked 1941 on the frame of the lens. The lenses are brown tinted, most likely against sunlight. Nice metal can with storage instructions.
