A nice coconut canteen marked HRE 43 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The canteen is in very good condition together with its bakelite cup. Hard to upgrade textbook coconut canteen in mint condition.

A unusual, late war canteen filling funnel. These funnels where used in field kitchens and together with the 5, 10, and 18 liter aluminium “Trinkwasser” drinking water containers to fill canteens. These funnels had the capacity of exactly one standard 0.8 liter canteen. They are wide enough at the top for a 5, 10 or 18 liter drinking water  container to easily poor. It is used by holding a finger underneath the small hole underneath the funnel and then filled to the top. The funnel is then placed above a canteen and the finger is removed. The canteen will be filled quick and without spillage! The funnel is made out of enameled steel like many of the late war canteens. A nice unusual item!

Nice small manual for the Panzerfaust 60 in good used condition.

Textbook late war gasmask in very good condition. Nicely maker marked avp 194 and with a matching set of ebd 44 straps.

Near mint, 1943 dated US raincoat by US RUBBER CO. The raincoat is in very good, minty condition and in contrary to most examples; is supple and wearable. There is one repair to the end of the sleeve which is neatly repaired. Very hard to find!

Nice original MG34 and MG42 ammunition drum in its full original finish. Hard to find spare part that will finish a display. The drum is missing its internal spring but is in good, working condition. The bottom has the handpainted weapon serial 8018.

Mint large sized second pattern equipment belt maker marked and dated 1944 RBNr. 0/0390/006? indicating production in Dresden. Choice example in a very good large size!

Very nice original US M3 Nash-Kelvinator 1944 binoculars with its original case. The binoculars are in good, usable condition.

Late war unissued Zeltbahn in Waffen-SS Oak camouflage. The Zeltbahn is nicely made up out of different colours of camouflaged material, typical for a late war manufacture. What makes this zeltbahn rare is that its of a late war “4 panel” construction. That means that on both far ends of the left and right side a extra triangle is sewn on. Next to that the left panel on the autumn side is unique in that the colours seem to be reversed; this is a first for me. The material is stunning and vibrant and looks like the day it was made. The zeltbahn never had any buttons applied. A unique late war Waffen-SS Zeltbahn with reversed coloursmost probably made in 1945!

Large container for Waffenentgiftungsmittel in very good condition with the closing strap, label and without damage.

Superb 1943 dated first pattern M-1943 field jacket by S. Rudofker’s Sons. The jacket is a typical early example with the green flat based buttons with a Kahki lining. The jacket is in very good near mint condition without damages, alterations or missing buttons. The jacket is a superb example and a must have for the US uniform collector.

Nice original equipment belt which has a layer of period applied blanco. This is a textbook finish that most if not ALL commonwealth troops had to mandatory apply to their webbing equipment. Nicely maker marked and dated 1943.

Very nice and unissued US M1 Garand cartridge belt. Nicely maker marked and dated Burlington Mills inc 1942. The belt is unissued but one male lift the dot stud is missing.

Original M3 shoulder holster. The holster is in very good and supple condition with working press studs.

Very nice pre war and matching pair both maker marked cvo. Hard to find a matching set with the same maker mark!
