German militaria

Stunning pair of Waffen-SS officers collar tabs for the rare rank of Hauptsturmführer in uniform removed condition. A very nice matching pair with black wool on a off-white buckram base. Hand embroided runic insignia with a hand sewn silver border. Very nice pair!

A very nice original Luftwaffe combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser. Nicely marked with the Luftwaffe 5 Waffenamt. The knife is in good sharp condition and has never been issued, cleaned or sharpened post war. Perfect combat mannequin accessorie!

A stunning Heer M41 EM Feldbluse in unissued condition. The green Einheitslitzen are period factory sewn to the collar. The breast eagle is period factory machine sewn on the top, flipped and finished by machine. The picture coming after the breast eagle shot shows the stitch line, underneath the lining. The insignia are all wartime factory machine sewn and it does not show any signs of moved, replaced or restored insignia or stitch holes. The garment was most probably kept for walking out and has only one modification that is that two seams at the back waist have been taken out to make some more room in the waist. This was most probably done because the soldier became well-fed. The garment retains up to 99% of the wool fluff. One button on the shoulder is replaced. This is really a stunning and textbook EM M41 tunic in near mint condition that would be very hard to upgrade!

In good used condition, hard to find spare!  Nicely maker marked ftb 44.

A very nice original MP38 and MP40 magazine filling tool, nice piece to fill a left MP40 pouch with or for using!

Hard to find spare in good used condition. Length approximately 50cm. Often missing from many helmets, this is a perfect addition to a helmet with some patina.

A very nice LP34 in working condition. The LP34 still has the original anodization finish and never has been refinished. The finish still remains for 99%. The grips are bakelite. The LP34 is marked AC42 indicating production by Waffenfabrik Walther, Zella-Mehlis. Minty flare guns are very hard to find!

Note!

A very nice M42 helmet marked hkp64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. in the shell size 64. The helmet retains its original paint and dome stamp for 95%. A nice untouched M42 helmet.

Messkits and canteens enameled in these colours are attributed to be made by the Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik (DEF) run by Oskar Schindler. Messkits and canteens, unmarked, in these specific colours have been found in the old factory storage of the former DEF.  There are several other makers of enameled steel canteens and messkits but they all carry different characteristic features such as markings or specific colours. No other maker utilizes these light gray and blue colours and lacks markings. The light blue “wash” on top of the enamel is one of the typical features. The messkit is in good used condition and has one hardly noticeable period repair to the hinges. A very nice and rare messkit!

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet with tropical frog marked cvl 42 indicating production by WKC Waffenfabrik G.m.b.H., Solingen-Wald. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 5393 and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good unsharpened, matching (!) condition and comes with its nice tropical frog.

A very nice Prewar RZM M6/1/38 marked messkit in mint condition. Unlike many tall prewar RZM messkits in black, this Messkit is executed in Feldgrau indicating production for the Waffen-SS. Nicely named on the back to Horst Gaüss. There is a single name match to Horst Gauss in the Volksbund database.

A nice issue military map of Moll, Donck and the Gheel surroundings. A very interesting map depicting the area of heavy battles late 1944. Interesting enough, this map is print on the base of a captured German map.

A nice period issue map in good condition. Nice and interesting depicted area of the south of the Netherlands.

Late war Y-strap with riveted fittings named to Gefreiter Anton Muschel killed in action 1st of September 1944, just north of the Festung Brest. 

Nice complete set of the long and short strap. Typical late war material as used with the ‘ebd’ marked straps.

Nice complete M38 gasmask canister in very good condition with most of the original factory paint. The straps still have the leather reinforcements. Nice complete gasmasks are becoming hard to find!
