German militaria

Death card of Obergrenadier Josef Barnsteiner. Was killed in action during the Ardennes offensive. Barnsteiner was 19 years old and was killed in Spinneux near Trois-Ponts, Belgium on 6.1.1945.

Textbook German helmet chinstrap marked G. Schiele Loburg 1942. 

Rare pre war short gasmask canister strap with painted hardware. Marked and dated CA 1940.

Late war Tragegestell 43 ammunition carrying frame with late war Ersatz woven rubber straps. The tan painted rack is complete with all(!) of its straps and buckles. The rack is in very good unissued condition with a nice mix of materials for the straps. All main late war strap materials can be observed; woven Rubber, webbing, folded canvas and red line material. A very nice and minty late war tan painted Tragegestell with the typical and rare rubber carrying straps that would be very hard to upgrade!

Very nice and aesthetic M35 Kriegsmarine combat helmet marked ET66 . Field repainted in dark blue on top of a reissue on top of the factory apple green paint. The helmet the textbook and bright gold Kriegsmarine decal. The helmet retains its original liner and partial chinstrap. The grey top colour is typical for coastal artillery. The helmet retains its original reinforced aluminum liner. There is a small shrapnel damage above the decal which was there when it received its wartime overpaint; even with the hole it was still deemed fit for use. At the end of the war the helmet was most probably taken by a member of the Danish resistance with a period painted flag on the right side of the helmet. The helmet is a beautiful example of a shrapnel damaged unique Kriegsmarine helmet!

A nice tan painted 6×30 Dienstglas or army issue binoculars. These where issued to all branches in the Wehrmacht. The binoculars retain their original tan paint up to 70% and are in very good condition. The binoculars are marked CAG indicating production by Swarovski. The right ocular still retains the Strichplatte. The leather strap and lens cover are original to the binoculars and have the textbook tan painted studs.

Rare pre war leather mapcase in smooth leather. One of the rarest mapcases to encounter in very good condition. Nicely dated 1936 and named inside the lid.

Superb and scarce mint M40 pattern Heer EM shoulderstraps for Nebelwerfer troops. Textbook construction with rayon piping in the typical purple colour for Nebelwerfer troops.

Textbook original Waffen-SS m40 pattern sidecap with clear ghosting of a SS skull and eagle. The cap is in good work condition and comes in a very good large size most probably 59 or 60. The cap would be a perfect restoration base. Very rare to find a original large sized Waffen-SS sidecap in the textbook banana shape, with false piping and a single line of stitching in the lining!

Rare original pitcher glove in used condition. The glove is made by Wilson in Canada and is dated 1941. Nice example in good used condition!

Nice original steel German M31 helmet liner for a size 64 shell with a headsize 57.

Very nice and aesthetic M40 Kriegsmarine combat helmet marked Q62 . Field repainted in blue on top of a reissue on top of the factory green paint. The helmet retains remnants of its textbook gold Kriegsmarine decal. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap dated 1940. The blue/grey top colour is typical for coastal artillery. Inside the liner is named Herbrechter O.16195/41S. 

Nice original bakelite handset for the field phone. This special handset was developed so that the soldier could wear a helmet whilst operating a field phone or radio. Very rare equipment piece!

Pre war K98 ammunition pouch dated 1937. Nice example with all internal dividers.

Rare original Luftwaffe issue camouflage smock as made for members of the Hermann Göring Division. Typical garment modeled after the Waffen-SS M38 smock with captured Italian Telo Mimetico material. The smock is in good used condition and the fabric is strong with vibrant but slightly faded colours. Natural wear to the full garment with a stain on the right sleeve that looks like dried blood. The garment is a textbook unit made piece that was made in a small quantity with many period images of these smocks in wear ranging from wear in Italy to the eventual surrender in the Netherlands. The garment is a one looker wartime sewn example without postwar alterations. All of the single seam stitching is old and shows the age one would like to see. Superb and rare piece that would be very hard to upgrade and easily a centerpiece in any camouflage collection!

A very nice LP34 in working condition. The LP34 still has the full anodization finish and never has been repainted. The finish still remains for 99% and this is one of the nicest LP34 flare guns I’ve ever owned.  The LP34 is marked DUV 41 which indicates production by Berlin Luebecker. The gun has very nice bakelite grips. All in all a very nice aesthetic piece with a superb finish!

The flare pistol is in good working condition and free to own anyone older then 18 in the Netherlands. I will not and can not export this piece outside of the Netherlands.

Pre war leather E-tool carrier in good used condition. Hard to find pre war examples!
