German militaria

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!

Scarce and rare early first factory made pattern MP38 pouches in very good condition. This type of pouch was made in webbing/rayon construction with rayon loops and straps with square metal tips and was issued to the Heer, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. The pouches are in a very good, lightly used condition. These are one of the hardest to find pouches in very good condition that would be very hard to upgrade.

A superb lightbrown matching pair of K98 pouches dated 1941. The pouches are made out of pig skin and retain all of their internal dividers. Superb set for a Luftwaffe display that will be impossible to upgrade. Simply best set I’ve ever been able to offer in stone mint condition.

Textbook and MINT M43 Heer EM field blouse for a Obergrefreiter. The garment retains all wartime factory sewn insignia, buttons and all the nap in the wool. The breast eagle is machine sewn on top, flipped and finished with a straight stitch. The Einheitslitzen are straight machine sewn through the collar. Both are period factory machine sewn to the garment and show no signs of previously mounted insignia. The left sleeve is adorned with a period hand sewn late war Obergefreiter chevron with subdued Tresse. There are no modifications or alterations to the garment. The garment has one small moth nip in the bottom of the left sleeve. Otherwise the garment is immaculate. The tunic is a good medium to large mannequin size fitting most if not all modern mannequins. The garment is a textbook ’44 production with dull grey wool with dark blue buttons. Really one of my favourite types of garment to encounter and this being a example that would be very hard to upgrade!
