Nice late war example by the scarcer maker fze with nice reddish bakelite grips. The bayonet was found together with a scarce leather late war frog in perfect condition!

Scarce original full leather MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouch. Nicely marked gyb inside indicating production by Bauer, Wilhelm, Friedr., G.m.b.H., Lederwarenfabrik, Offenbach a.M.-Bieber. These pouches where used on a large scale by members of the Panzer Lehr division in Normandy. There is a repair to the central loader compartment strap which is obscured when the pouch is fully closed. I’ve pictured it next to another leather pouch in our inventory so you can judge wether you’d make a set of it. The pouch would be a great addition to any equipment collection and it would be very hard to find another; let alone a better one!

This is a very nice textbook and unissued straight shovel carrier marked KVZ 1944 which indicates production by Timmermann & Wollet Kofferfabrik Heidelberg in 1944. The leather closing strap is nicely made out of black pebbled leather.
