German militaria

Rare original Heer issue M40 Mantel in good worn condition. It’s a nice and textbook M40 mantel which is not that special; but what makes it special is that this Mantel was made in the famous factory of Hugo Boss which is still well known for high quality clothing. Very rare to find a garment from the Boss factory!

These sweaters, originally Italian manufacture, where captured from Italian stocks after their surrender in 1943. There are many original pictures showing such a sweater. The garment is a small size but it would still fit modern militaria mannequins. The sweater is in good, lightly worn condition.

Near mint US issue greatcoat marked A. Davis & Sons, Inc. March 11, 1942 size 40R. There are one or two small moth damages on the back otherwise a very nice near mint example in a good large size.

Textbook late war US M1C paratrooper helmet with period applied net. Typical front seam swivel bale example with a Westinghouse paratrooper liner. Hard to upgrade salty piece!

A very nice set of two Waffen-SS shoulderstraps for a Oberscharführer der SS-Artillerie Regiment 3. The straps are nicely red rayon piped with period applied rank Tresse with a rank pip and a Cypher 3. The straps have had their tongues removed but are still a very nice set that would easily display on a tunic. These shoulderstraps are very rare and would be hard to upgrade.

Typical Erkennungsmarke or ID disc marked 15.J.R.366 indicating 15.Kompanie Infanterie Regiment 366 which was under the 227 Infanterie Division which fought on the eastern front.

Beautiful and textbook Heer sidecap with period applied piping for a Panzergrenadier. The cap is a very nice and untouched example with full period sewn insignia. The left side of the sidecap has 4 pieces of string which most probably indicate the place for a former unit emblem. Superb cap!

Short binocular case strap nicely marked jgh 41.

A very nice late war Waffen-SS belt buckle marked RZM 155/40 ᛋᛋ  indicating production by Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid. A nice combat worn example of a original Waffen-SS belt buckle in its original finish!

Rare original Kriegsmarine issue wristwatch with its original issue strap. The watch is in running condition but I have no idea if it will be correct if worn over 24 hours. The watch is in complete and unrestored condition. There are a few cracks in the glass which is typical and otherwise undamaged!

Rare original rzm pattern leather dagger hanger for a SS dagger in used condition. Hard to find piece in used but undamaged condition.

A very nice original bakelite Carbide container that belongs with the bakelite carbide lantern or Einheitslaterne. These containers are often in very bad condition with cracks or other damages. This one is the best one I’ve ever found.

Dienstglas buttoning tab or Knöpflasche in good used condition.

A tan vinyl G43 magazine pouch. This pouch is marked ros 1944 indication production by E. G. Leuner, Bautzen. A nice G43 pouch in very good condition!

Beautiful and matching M40 EM shoulderstraps for a Panzergrenadier in Panzergrenadier Regiment 86. Part of the 10. Panzerdivision this unit was renamed to Schützen Regiment 86 which was sent to the Afrikakorps in 1942. The straps are in good used condition and have the original loops to Panzergrenadier Regiment 86 which are period sewn to the straps. Textbook M40 pattern shoulderstraps with rayon piping!

Typical tailored and converted EM M43 gaberdine tunic for a Hauptmann der Infanterie. The garment has been shortened, the pockets sewn flat and have pleats added. The breast pocket is adorned with multiple period sewn award loops. The garment retains its original insignia for a Hauptmann der Infanterie with the collar tabs resewn. The garment is a typical shortened and tailored example for a experienced officer!

Late war M40 pattern trousers marked RB-Nr. 0/0549/0084. Typical late war coarse lining material with a nice German wool. The trousers are finished with steel and paper buttons. There is one missing button and one bit of stitching is loose under the crotch area. The size is good for most modern mannequins!

Beautiful Heer double decal M35 helmet with tan camouflage paint. The helmets marked Q64 indicating from Quist. The helmet retains the original wartime applied camouflage paint up to 70% which darkened due to age. The decals are neatly painted around and retaining up to 75%. The helmet retains its factory fitted liner which sits loosely but is original to the shell. The chinstrap is in my opinion a addition but original. A beautiful and affordable tropical camouflage helmet!

Nice single decal Heer M42 helmet in black with 3 bullet hits to the front. The helmet is externally and internally overpainted with black paint with the decal being neatly masked and painted around. The helmet has 3 dents to the front of the helmet which are most probably veteran applied. The 3 dents in the front are most probably done with a pistol which didn’t penetrate the shell. The helmet retains its original factory fitted helmet with 3 intact liner pins. Nice original Heer helmet with a less common black wartime overpaint.
