There are only a handful of these buckles marked CBN that reside in collections today. Super scarce must have for any buckle collector!

A nice coconut canteen marked HRE 41 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The canteen is in very good condition together with its matching cup. Hard to upgrade textbook coconut canteen.

Very nice original cased War merit cross first class or Kriegsverdienstkreuz mit Schwerter marked 65 indicating production by Klein und Quenzer. The cross is in very good condition with most if not all of its original finish. The case is a typical type which is correct for this cross. The case is marked 1.9.1944 which most probably was the date of issue for the wearer. The case also has the rare and most desirable square shaped closing button.

Excellent urea resin salt container/dispenser executed in the rare all-white colour. These are believed to be especially designed for use in tropical climates. This example is nicely marked (on all 3 parts) 1W/K, K indicates the usage of the material urea resin (certain type of bakelite), 1W indicates manufacturer Julius Posselt, Gablonz an der Neisse, Reichsgau Sudetenland which can also be encountered asgfc on different coloured canteen cups! Excellent example in undamaged condition which would be impossible to upgrade!

Textbook late war Waffen-SS/Heer issue combat Y-straps in very good and most likely unissued condition. This is a very nice late war example with a skeleton/wire hook on the back strap. One of the small leather loops which keep the large O-ring in place is loose as can be seen in the pictures. Textbook late war example which would look perfect on a mannequin!

A nice matching numbers bayonet with frog marked Carl Eickhorn 1938 indicating production by Waffenfabrik Carl Eickhorn, Solingen. The bayonet is in very good condition!

A great original buckle in the rare transitional variant with the eagle facing the left. The buckle comes together with the belt it was found on that is in the same condition.

Excellent and full Soldbuch to Ullrich von Freu, serving in Panzergrenadier Battalion 98 ‘v. Schöning’ which was later renamed to Kampfgruppe Schöning. Von Freu was wounded January 1945 and was awarded the Kriegsverdienstkreuz, Verwundetenabzeichen and the Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze. The Soldbuch contains loads of entries and would be a great base for further research!
