German militaria

Typical Luftwaffe issue work tunic or Drillichanzug for a Oberleutnant der Fallschirmjäger or flying personnel. These garments are meant for wear with enlisted men and rarely saw use with officers. The garment is in good worn condition with full wartime added insignia albeit the breast eagle was denazified post war. Still a nice display tunic in nice used condition!

Stunning crushed visor cap for a Offizier der Aufklärung with the rare wartime attached divisional insignia for the 24. Panzerdivision. The cap is a excellent example of a frontline worn crushed visor showing natural wear and patina. The cap retains its full wartime factory sewn insignia. The cap insignia for the 24. Panzerdivision is a exceptionally rare to find and highly sought after cap badge. The whole cap is in untouched condition without any postwar alterations. Surely a killer cap that would be very hard to upgrade!

Textbook second pattern black butterdish or Fettbuchse marked F7S.

Beautiful K98 dress bayonet with stag horn grips. The bayonet is in very good uncleaned and unsharpened condition complete with its original frog.

Beautiful untouched M42 combat helmet marked hkp66 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. in the shell size 66. The helmet retains its original paint up to 95%.

Rare Kriegsmarine marked equipment belt and buckle in very good condition. The belt buckle is a textbook example marked B&N indicating production by Berg & Nolte with the tab dated 1942 and marked with the Kriegsmarine acceptance marking. The belt is a typical example marked jkh 42 and also with the Kriegsmarine acceptance marking.

Textbook pre war equipment Luftwaffe equipment belt in unissued condition. The belt has multiple unit markings and comes in the size 95.

A stunning speckled brown bakelite 6×30 binocular case. Later in the war when the Germans ran out of pigment for bakelite they switched over to different fillers. Sawdust was one of the filling materials used, creating a interesting speckled finish. The brown bakelite dienstglas containers where mostly found with tan 6×30 binoculars. The case is in very good, undamaged condition and has a very aesthetic and vibrant light brown colour which would nicely attribute a late war uniform setup.

Pre war 6×30 Dienstglas by E. Leitz in good used condition. The binoculars retain the Strichplatte in the right eyepiece.

Very nice and minty Heer officers visor with white wool piping. The visor is a nice large size 59/60 and retains its original aluminum insignia. The cap is a high quality example marked Stirndrückfrei by Emil Stammnitz. The cap has two moth holes on the side but is otherwise mint and impossible to upgrade!

Modified ammunition case for the MG34 Zwillinglafette. The drum is in very good condition with up to 90% of the original paint still present. These ammunition drums are often found with a late war modification because the Zwillingslafette was not really used that much. With this modification the mounts for the Lafette were removed with a saw. This happened to hundreds if not thousands of these cases. Removing the hooks left a piece of bare unpainted metal which ofcourse in true German fashion was swiftly covered in tan paint. Most people will tell you that it’s a camouflage drum but it’s simply not the case because only the modified examples have this tan paint and only on the place where the mounts have been removed.

Rare leather A-frame strap in good used and supple condition. Hard to find spare for any A-frame!

Interesting Wehrpass grouping to Lorenz Reinert consisting of his Wehrpass, Arbeitsbuch, Gesundheitspass, Feldpost and his pass for the Baueinsatz Westwall in his original cover. The cover and most of his paperwork are all shrapnel or bullet damaged whilst it was carried in this cover. Reinert wasn’t a frontline soldier but was working on the Westwall near Bergheim in December 1944. This is most probably also the rough date his paperwork was damaged. The grouping would be a nice base for further research and very hard to find battle damaged paperwork!

Deathcard of Oberschütze Johann Löffler, killed in anti partisan battles 12.9.1943 in Wach Bobrik Bahnstrecke Kiew-Neshin.

Impressive death card to Obergefreiter Gebirgsjäger Georg Schorn, killed in action on the Island of Kreta 25.5.1941. Schorn was a veteran of the Polish, French and Greek campaigns and was awarded the Eisernez Kreuz 2. Klasse.

Hard to upgrade near mint and matching bayonet marked Berg & Co 1940 indicating production by Berg & Co, Solingen-Ohligs. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 3080 and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good minty and matching (!) condition!

Hard to find pre war helmet liner in very good lightly used condition. Nice large size 66/59 liner produced by Schuberth in 1939.
