German militaria

Typical pre war Dutch M33 helmet reissued by the German army and finished in typical shipboard grey. A typical colour as used by Flak and secondary Küstenartillerie personnel. The helmet is in good condition and named inside the liner.

A very nice Dutch pre war helmet reissued in the Wehrmacht. These helmets where used and worn by secondary troops such as eastern volunteers but most of them got issued to members of the Schutzmannschaft. The helmet comes with its wartime converted and assembled German M31 liner.

Superb, mint and impossible to upgrade complete Luftwaffe issued flying goggles by Wagener & Co., Rathenow. The goggles are complete with all accessories and in the original issue box dated 1942.

Superb late war M43 Keilhosen in mint condition. The trousers lack the leg ties but it would be very hard to find a better pair then this one. The trousers are a nice size fitting most modern mannequins and are in stone mint condition. The wool retains the full nap and all of its originally sewn buttons.

Beautiful canteen marked HRE 43 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The cup and lid are marked HRE 43 and the canteen itself is HRE 42. This is probably indicating production in January 1943. The canteen is in beautiful condition and would be hard to upgrade.

A nice pre war Czech straight E-tool. The complete stock of Czech uniforms and equipment was taken in by the German army at the beginning of the occupation in 1938. A large portion of these shovels was straightly re-issued into the Waffen-SS which up till 1940 could not rely on the issue of equipment through the OKW. Hence you can see these a lot of pictures of the Waffen-SS in the early campaign. These shovels where used and issued within all branches of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS from 1940 onwards. I’ve included a few pictures of these shovels in German use.

A nice late war straight E-tool carrier marked fuq 1943 indicating production by Cottbusser Lederwarenwerk Curt Vogel K.G., Cottbus. Very nice original straight E-tool carrier in good, lightly used condition.

A leather pouch for the K98 grenade launcher with its original sling. Nicely marked dkk 42 indicating production by Friedrich Offermann u. Söhne, Lederwarenfabrik, Bensberg. 

Stunning grouping consisting of a named and unit ID’ed sidecap with factory applied light green soutache and numbered shoulderstraps. The sidecap or Schiffchen is a very nice and textbook example with factory applied green soutache and factory hand sewn insignia. The cap is a nice large size, probably a 58. Inside the cap sits a period sewn ID tag to Jäger Petrowitsch Gebirgsjäger Regiment 138. The cap was found together with a set of cyphered m36 pattern shoulderstraps. The straps are textbook pre war green wool piped examples in near mint condition. The shoulderstraps are nicely cyphered to Gebirgsjäger Regiment 138  which is a regiment which fought in Poland in 1939 and later went on to fight in Norway, Finland and near Leningrad. The set is in very good, near mint condition and would be a prime ensemble in any Gebirgsjäger collection.

A very nice green bakelite flashlight by Zeiler and nicely marked D.R.P.

Nice and typical example that was a standard component of the MG tool pouch.

A very nice Luftwaffe M43 field cap in good condition. Marked 0/0501/0015 – 58 – 1944. A very nice one looker original M43 field cap with all original wartime applied insignia in a very good and large size!

Nice original MG34 anti-aircraft spider sight that is a basic component in any MG pouch. Hard to find spare!

Mint Dienstglas buttoning tab or Knopflasche maker marked and dated E. Leitz 1939. These would be perfect to match to a 1939 dated E. Leitz Dienstglas and would be impossible to find in this condition as a spare.

Rare pre war belt buckle with the typical design that is associated with R. Fischer, Nixdorf. The lower talons lack the individual feathers in combination with the sharp eye indicate this. The buckle is denazified by ways of hammering out the swastika. It is however still in presentable condition and for sure rare enough to fit in any buckle collection in this condition.

Very nice pre war stone grey or Steingrau breeches. Austrian army pattern and issue but worn mostly by German army officers. The trousers are in very good condition with most of the nap in the wool remaining.

A last ditch model K98 bayonet frog in good unissued condition. Very hard to find!

Textbook M42 helmet marked ET66 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a typical helmet as issued to Heer, Kriegsmarine and Waffen-SS units from 1943 onwards. The helmet retains its factory installed spliced liner named Walter with its original RBNR chinstrap. The helmet is a great untouched example with most of its factory paint remaining in good used condition.

Superb and matching set of two blue MP38 and MP40 pouches both maker marked and dated kog/1942. A textbook set made with mixed leather in the construction mixing light and brown leather in the pouches. Very hard to upgrade!

Very nice set of two MP38 and MP40 magazine pouches in very good, near mint condition.The pouches are both maker marked and dated clg 42 and are constructed in Luftwaffe blue canvas. The right pouch was converted from left to right by tilting the belt loops and the D-ring. If you don’t want to pay 2000 euro for a perfect set but do want a original set that looks mint; this is it!
