German militaria

Stunning example of a late war M42 canteen with gabardine cover in excellent unissued condition. The flask itself is unmarked and the maker is thereby unknown. This is a textbook example of a gaberdine cover with 3 instead of 4 press studs. Black phenolic resin (Bakelite) cup marked gfc 1944. Excellent textbook example which would be very hard to upgrade!

Very nice slightly used example of an M31 canteen. The canteen and cup are non-matching but are found together! The canteen is nicely marked MKK 41 which indicates production by Marsteller & Killman., Kettwig in 1941 and the cup is marked kcl 40 which indicates production by Klinter & Co., Lüdenscheid in 1940. The canteen cup has the name Kahn nicely scratched into the paint and a part of the strap is named inside. Beautiful combat used example!

Textbook late war Luftwaffe issue blue coloured breadbag in almost mint and probably unissued condition. No markings are found on this example. Stunning late war example which would be hard to upgrade!

Very nice spare canteen strap made out of pigskin leather. These canteen straps which are in good undamaged condition are almost impossible to find!

chinstrap brownish painted steel hardware

Hard to find early German helmet chinstrap with aluminum hardware in good used condition.

Textbook original German helmet chinstrap in good used condition. The strap is marked at the end of the long part but the stamp isn’t readable anymore.

Incredibly rare original orange bakelite canteen cup. This is a rare opportunity to buy original orange bakelite canteen cup. This example was certainly MPD code marked just like the other examples but the markings are completely faded because of the time in the ground. The MPD code F7/K which was once present indicates production by a still unknown maker and the usage of urea resin (which is a certain type of Bakelite) with an organic filler material. The bakelite surface is affected by the time in the ground and thereby lost its smooth surface and its marking. The cup only has some minor discolorations which could probably be cleaned some more. Beautiful original and very rare example!

This cup was found in Berlin recently together with 12 complete and 5 damaged cups. They were dug up underneath remnants of a concrete floor together with other canteen cups and butterdishes. In 15 years of collecting I’ve only found one example for my personal collection: this is only the second time I’ve been able to acquire one. I have kept 3 cups for my personal collection, other then these there are no other orange cups on the market that I am aware of. Rarer then most Knights Crosses: this is probably the rarest item I have had for sale in the 5 years that fjm44.com has been online!

Beautiful late war FF33 field phone. The FF33 is marked 1944 E which is indicating an unknown maker and production in 1944. The phone comes with the crank and battery case. The bakelite case is undamaged and has a nice reddish colour.

Very nice and rare Luftwaffe issue ammunition box for 15 1KG incendiary bombs “B1. El. m. Z.”. The box retains around 95% of its original factory applied tan paint. These boxes are very hard to find!

Original Luftwaffe photograph with a Ritterkreuzträger or knights cross bearer sized 9 x 6 cm. Regrettably unidentified; but IMO with a bit of work you should be able to find out who it was exactly.

Set of two Heer postcard sized portrait photographs from the same soldier.

Original deathcard to Hans Surauer who served in 9 Komp Fallsch Jäg Regt 4.
