German militaria

Small wooden Ditty box. These small wooden boxes where issued to every sailor in the Kriegsmarine serving on a ship or submarine. These small boxes where used to keep personal effects and kept locked. This was one of the only spaces that sailors had on a ship!

A leather pouch for the K98 grenade launcher with its original sling. Nicely marked dkk 42 indicating production by Friedrich Offermann u. Söhne, Lederwarenfabrik, Bensberg. 

Beautiful pre war pointed style M35 shoulder straps for a Unteroffizier. The straps come with the period attached yellow braids most probably indicating he was part of the Aufklärung section.

Beautiful original Walther PP holster manufactured by AKAH in the rare leading edge design. The holster is in very good unissued condition and it would be very hard to upgrade.

Scarce original Waffen-SS maroon Fez for the 13. Gebirgsdivision der Waffen-SS ‘Handschar’. The Fez is in good used condition and retains both wartime factory sewn skull and eagle. The leather sweatband is partially loose, but this seems to be a thing with all of these. The Fez is in very good condition and would be hard to upgrade!

Excellent SE64 M40 sawdust camouflage helmet with its Heer decal peaking through the paint. The helmet is a great, untouched example marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet is nicely unit or initial marked in the rear skirt giving a slight opportunity to further research. The helmets exterior is nicely covered in the thick textured sawdust camouflage paint leaving a small portion of the Heer decal peaking through the paint. A killer example of a sawdust camouflage helmet in great condition!

Excellent and textbook example of a M40 Polizei helmet, made to M35 specs. The shell is marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet is a rarer example being made to the M35 specs; one of the first made with the M40 shell and its factory installed zinc single banded liner. The helmet retains its factory applied smooth green paint up to 90% with both decals in excellent condition. The dome of the helmet retains a name. Very nice and textbook example of a Polizei helmet that would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice matching bayonet marked 43 asw indicating production by E. & F. Horster & Co. Solingen. The blade has not been sharpened or polished retaining up to 95% of its original blueing. The tip is slightly damaged; please see the detailed close up. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 2497 and has nice clean red bakelite grips and would be very hard to upgrade!

A scarce and iconic Assault Vest as worn during D-day by members of  the 1st, 4th, and 29th Infantry Divisions as well as the 2nd Ranger Battalion. The vest is a stunning original mint example marked Harian 1944 and in a good size Medium to fit most if not all modern mannequins. There are no repairs or modifications on the vest. The vest is a textbook example in mint condition in OD3, would be impossible to upgrade and the centerpiece for any D-Day themed collection!

Very nice original tropical breadbag strap.

M31 breadbag in mint condition. Excellent piece that would be hard to upgrade.

A very nice M31 canteen in near mint condition. All the parts are marked MKL 42 indicating production by Max Kamper, Lüdenscheid. The canteen comes with a very nice lightbrown leather strap. A rare to find maker, especially in this complete and near mint condition!

Nice original German helmet liner marked Schuberth for a size 62 helmet shell.
