German militaria

Excellent wound badge in silver or “Verwundetenabzeichen Im Silber” (VWA) constructed out of zinc with a silver finish. These double marked wound badges are hard to come by and extremely popular under collectors. This example is nicely marked with the LDO code L/16 and the PKZ number 4  which both indicate production by Steinhauer & Lück, Lüdenscheid. Excellent  marked example! 

Textbook BeVo Edelweiss sleeve insignia for Gebirgsjägertroops in mint unissued condition.

Textbook late war produced set of a cleaning and an oiling brush in light used condition. The cleaning brush or Reinigungsbürste is made out of brass bristles in the middle and normal bristles on both of the ends. The oiling brush or Ölbürste is made completely out of normal bristles and is a bit wider than the cleaning brush. Nice original set of two brushes which are often missing in the RG34 cleaning kit. Very nice set in good used condition which is almost impossible to find!

Typical early to mid war produced RG34 cleaning chain which was part of the rifle cleaning kit or Reinugungsgerät 34. This example is nicely marked with a capital M. Excellent example in great condition!

Rare RG34 takedown and cleaning tool or Hulschenkopfwischer, one of the accessories that is mostly missing from these cleaning kits. Authentic example marked 64 indicating production by Gustav Appel, Maschinenfabrik.

Textbook tall M38 gasmask named with the Dutch name V. Heuvelen. The mask is in good condition and retains up to 90% of its factory paint and partial straps. Nice piece that would be hard to find another one of with a Dutch name.

Original Heer officers visor that has been ‘crushed’ by the wearer recreating the ‘Alter Art’ look. The cap is in very good, salty untouched condition. Part of the lining and the stuffing was removed together with the stiffener which was a popular look. Very nice field worn visor!

Late war Heer Veterinär visor marked Erstklassig CW (Carl Wagner). The visor is a excellent and unworn example. Beautiful textbook example manufactured in Trikot. The cap is a nice medium size that would be impossible to upgrade!

Rare original M34 cap for a Officer in a Panzer Pionier unit. The sidecap is a textbook EM/NCO example with wartime sewn insignia that was wartime upgraded for a use by an Officer. Nicely marked 55 F42 Karl Kubach Mützenfabrik Mainz-Kastel inside. Perfect example with a very rare soutache or piping for a Panzerpionier that would be very hard to upgrade!

Excellent, untouched and privately tailored Heer Panzer or Panzerjäger summer cloth overseas cap. The cap is a lightweight, tailor made example, with period applied insignia. Void of the correct silver thread the officer rank was made with NCO or Unteroffiziers Tresse. The front of the cap retains the pink piping or Soutache for Panzer or Panzerjäger. Nice and rare cap!

Excellent Radio operators or signal troops or Fünker tornister in stone mint, unissued condition!

These specific tornisters would contain the necessary equipment for signal troops, such as cable reels and a large variety of tools. There were three versions of the backpack: “1, 2 & 3”, with each having different interiors for intended for different equipment. This pack is clearly the model 1 Fernsprechtornister! The tornister is nicely marked hfr 1942 which indicates production by a still to this day unknown manufacturer. The fur on the cowhide is still completely intact. The shoulder straps are complete and intact, with all the leather parts still supple with a nice natural color. Excellent piece and for sure impossible to be upgraded!

A light used pair of mid to late war felt boots or Filzstiefel in simply perfect condition. The pair of boots is nicely marked RBNr. and dated 1944 on the pulling straps. Typical eastern front footwear worn and issued with the reversible, non reversible and Charkov parkas. The pair is a nice large size which will most likely fit all  of the modern sized mannequins. The felt issued boots are in great, light used condition which would look perfect on a mannequin in an eastern front display! One of the best sets I have ever encountered!

Beautiful wound badge in gold or Verwundeten Abzeichen in Gold. Unmarked piece but the design can be attributed to Hauptmunzamt Wien. The badge is in very good condition without damages or repairs and 99% of its original factory finish!
