Textbook original Heer M36 shoulderstrap for a Oberfeldwebel der Panzerjäger.

Superb privately tailored uniform ensemble made with period attached insignia and cufftitle for a Oberscharführer in SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 3 Deutschland. The blouse is of machine sewn construction with handsewn details. The wool used is of high quality and is exactly the same as on the overcoat. The blouse retains a set of period handsewn collar tabs. The runic collar tab is a high quality hand embroided example matching to the rank insignia in wool and size. The cuff title is a textbook RZM type machine embroided example, wartime sewn to the French cuff of the blouse. The shoulderstraps are textbook rayon piped examples with factory sewn Unteroffizierstresse and wartime added rank pips which are sewn into the shoulders. The shoulderstraps are a exact match to those on the overcoat. The breast pocket is adorned with a set of 3 wartime sewn award loops. The sleeve retains the wartime zigzag sewn BeVo sleeve eagle which is a exact match to that on the overcoat. The blouse has a dagger hanger inside marked DRGM. The overcoat is a textbook Waffen-SS pattern example with a elongated seam running from the pockets upwards. There is one small moth hole in the back of the mantel, otherwise underneath the collar of the blouse are one or two small moth holes which are obscured when on display. There are no indications that the garments first retained other insignia or that anything was added or removed. There are no stitch holes undone; there are no real damages or repairs. This is a very exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a uniform set that where made by the same hand with the full period sewn Waffen-SS insignia that surely was well-kept for best dress and surely would display as a centre piece in any collection!

A stunning 1939 dated A-frame in unissued condition. The leather straps are made of supple brown leather. There is a small damage inside the frame that would be obscured in display.

The helmet is a beautiful and textbook Luftwaffe three-tone helmet in great condition that would be very hard to upgrade!

Rare original German Klauenbeil in its original Presstoff carrying pouch. The pouch and the axe are in very good unissued condition which is very rare with such a versatile item. Most if not all of these found their way into civilian life after the war meaning they where used up. The axe was stocked post war in another army and therefor is still in great condition. The buckle and two studs on the cover where overpainted in green but this can easily be cleaned if desired. The axe comes with its original blade and handle and is still sharp. The cover is a typical second pattern and is without damage. This example is textbook in every way and would be impossible to upgrade.
