German militaria

A nice matching large tropical canteen marked MN42 indicating production by Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar (MENESA). The cup is made out of a nice brown bakelite, not to be confused with the standard black cup. The last pictures show the difference with a normal black cup which is easier to see in hand! Hard to upgrade matching example with a brown bakelite cup!

A very nice Daimon 2201 torch in near mint condition. The torch is complete with both bulbs and seems in working condition. Hard to upgrade period torch!

A very nice Wiktorin H42 stove with most of its original wartime field grey paint and all of its accesoiries. Hard to upgrade and probably working piece with a small assortment of spares. I have not filled or tested it but as far as I can see I don’t see why it shouldn’t work. Nice personal equipment item!

A very nice Luftwaffe tropical field blouse for a flight or paratrooper Unterfeldwebel. The field blouse is complete with a machine sewn original Kreta cuff title and a set of tropical yellow piped shoulderstraps for a Unterfeldwebel. The breast eagle is machine sewn to the field blouse but is restored to the piece. The field blouse is in good, lightly worn condition and would be a very nice display tunic!

A nice pair of late war M37 lowboots marked 0/0441/5032 in lightly worn condition. A nice large size fitting most if not all mannequins and complete with a set of leather laces. Marked 0/0441/5032 on the top. These lowboots where issued to most personnel in the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. A nice and textbook set with the shark type nose! A matching pair of typical M37 lowboots in good condition is hard to find!

Hard to find spare 6×30 Dienstglas case strap in mint, unissued condition.

A very nice set of three unissued and matching leather equipment straps. All three identically ink marked RBNR and dated ’44. The straps are all nice and supple.

A very nice and mint late war Heer/Waffen-SS breadbag complete with strap.

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.

A very hard to find detail to finish a NCO or CO display. This original German army issue signal whistle made from bakelite with its original field gray knotted lanyard is in mint condition. Many commands where given with whistles during combat and the use and recognition of the different signals was something most soldiers would have known.

A perfect mint set for a mid to late war Heer or Waffen-SS tunic in blue paint. Hard to find spare set!

A very nice Heer M40 mantel dated 1940. Inside the lining pocket a name stamp can be seen to Helmut Dänn from Stettin. The overcoat is complete with all its originally sewn buttons and Gefreiter rank on the sleeve. The mantel is in very good only lightly worn condition with most if not all of the original nap in the wool. The size is a nice medium.

A rare pre war ammunition drum for the MG34 Zwillinglafette. These ammunition drums are often found with a late war modification on which the hooks for the Lafette connection are sawn off and the bare metal covered in tan paint. The drum is in very good condition with up to 75% of the original factory paint still present. The drum is nicely dated 1940.

A stunning Luftwaffe M35 double decal camouflage helmet found in Leersum, the Netherlands. The helmet retains 90% of its original three-tone turtle-like camouflage scheme with bright and vibrant colours. Easily seen are the two Luftwaffe decals peeking through the paint! Also the helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap in good untouched condition. The helmet would make a very nice example for any camouflage collection!

A nice original set of both a microphone and headphone. A important attribute to any German radio!

A very nice late war double decal M40 Polizei helmet. The helmet is nicely marked Q64 indicating production by Quist with the lot number T3339. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet. On the chinstrap loop a small brass tag is attached that was found on the helmet. The original decals still retain up to 99%. A very nice and near mint Polizei helmet that would be a very nice addition to any helmet collection!

Late war Dachau made Waffen-SS M43 cap. Textbook late war cardboard brim construction cap in size 56. The embroided Dachau trapezoid insignia is factory zig-zag sewn to the cap. The cap is in mint, unissued condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

Nice original Heer officers field cap in good, lightly worn condition. The cap retains its original factory sewn trapezoid and buttons which are interestingly RZM marked examples. The cap is in good lightly worn condition which shows in the liner. Outside the nap is still nearly fully present. The cap is marked inside RBNr. 0.0560/0117 and dated 1944. The cap is nicely sized 57 which is a great average mannequin size. Inside the bill of the cap, a small area has a small glue stain, see the last picture. Original and attractive Heer officers M43 field cap in great condition!

A nice set of original Zeltbahn accessories. Exactly the amount as was issued to every soldier with a single M31 Zeltbahn.
