German militaria

Nice original Erkennungsmarke marked 2./Pi. E. B. 311 indicating 2. Kompanie Ersatz Batalion 311. This unit was stationed in Böhmer & Mähren and fell under the 151 Division. The tag comes with its original cord and is in good used condition.

Unissued late war Zeltbahn with super vibrant colours that would be very hard to upgrade. Superb near mint piece with most if not all buttons!

A very nice late war P38 soft shell holster. The holster is nicely maker marked 0/0833/0007 indicating production by Hans Römer, Neu-Ulm. Simply a superb late war P38 holster in mint condition, can not be upgraded!

Hard to find original chinstrap part in good used condition. Textbook example with aluminum buckle that dates the piece between 1936 and 1940. Perfect for a early helmet!

Exceptional pre war Austrian stone grey or Steingrautrousers in near mint condition. Typical pre war trousers that where captured, issued and used in the 1940 campaign. Due to large uniform shortages the stores of the Austrian army where massively looted and redistributed by the German army in 1940. These trousers are in near mint condition and are a good medium size fitting for most if not all modern sized mannequin. The wool is in perfect condition without only one or two small moth holes. All buttons are present and originally sewn. The trousers are a perfect example for a textbook 1940 campaign mannequin and would be very hard to upgrade – if you have been looking out for pre war stone grey trousers for a mannequin; this is it!

A very nice matching set of tunic removed shoulder boards for a SS-Obersturmführer der Pioniertruppen. These shoulderstraps have had the pips or cyphers removed. Nice and salty set in obvious uniform removed condition!

Rare example in good used condition with a wartime repaint in Feldgrau. The top of the canister bears a Cyrillic name АОЯІОШИН which translates to AOJAІOŠIN. This is most probably a name for a eastern ‘volunteer’ serving on the Atlantikwal. Very hard to find original gasmask with a Cyrillic ‘volunteer’ name

Textbook steel tabbed Heer belt buckle maker marked and dated Brüder Schneider Wien, 1942 with most of its factory paint remaining.

Stunning coastal artillerie or Küstenartillerie tall M38 communications gasmask in untouched condition. The canister is externally fully overpainted in the typical sea green or battleship grey showing loads of patina.  Superb set with loads of character!

Nice original document grouping to Unteroffizier Paul Reichmann, Infanterie Regiment 57 which was a part of the 9. Infanterie Division which fought throughout the war. Starting may 10 1940, 9.ID crossed Luxembourg into Belgium with the first major battles around Amiens and at the Somme. It then crossed the Oise river and was one of the first units to march into Paris. In June 1941 it was moved into action on the eastern front fighting at Mosastyr and broke through the Stalinlinie. It was well occupied until 1943 when it was ordered to defend the Kuban bridgehead. 9. October 1944 the division was reformed into the 9. Volksgrenadier Division which was moved west and soon to be put into battle during the Ardennes offensive. On 24. December 1944 the division assembled in Manderscheid where it was sent into the offensive fighting at Bastogne, Wilz and Vianden.

The grouping consists of three award documents for the Eisernez Kreuz 2. Klasse, Winterschlacht im Osten and the Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber. The EK2 document is signed by Knights Cross wearer Generalmajor Siegmund Freiherr von Schleinitz. The documents are accompanied with a set of matching and cyphered shoulderstraps to Infanterie Regiment 57.
