German militaria

A set of 11 original private pictures sized 12x17cm. These pictures are a unique set and are not published anywhere. The interesting detail to these pictures is that they all seem to wear Dutch puttees and breeches. Also the environment is typical of a Dutch/Belgian coastline. The pictures are all nice and sharp with lots of details! These pictures are most probably made during a exercise on the Atlantikwal in The Netherlands. A great set of pictures!

Rare late war flare ammunition pouch in unissued condition. Nicely marked gaq 43 indicating production by Otto Stephan, Leder- u. Lederwarenfabrik, Muehlhausen. The case is made from green webbing and comes with its original removable sling. The pouch is complete with all internal dividers and wooden reinforcement. Nicely marked on the side. Quite hard to find a better one!

A very nice pre war double decal M40 Polizei helmet. The helmet is nicely marked Q66 indicating production by Quist with the lot number 3301 which falls clearly within the range of Quist helmets made for LW, Heer and SS. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet. The helmet is a very early factory repaint with another layer of apple green paint with a set of decals. Look at the close ups of the decals to see the silver decal remains under the right hand decal. Stunning and in my opinion typical example of a SS to Police reissue helmet. The right side of the helmet has clear traces of silver flakes under the paint. Inside the helmet is a pencil written name Sievert. The original early borderless Polizei decals still retain up to 95%. A very nice M35 Polizei helmet that would be a very nice addition to any helmet collection!

Scarce mint condition lightbrown CZ27 holster dated 1942. Excellent mint condition, perfect to match with that mint CZ pistol!

Perfect pre war M31 messkit marked HRE 38 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The messkit retains its original factory paint up to 98% and would be near impossible to upgrade.

A textbook pair of white wool piped M36 shoulderstraps for infantry or Infanterie EM in very good condition. Very hard to find shoulder boards that are missing on virtually all M36 tunics!

A great set in good working condition with its rare original carrying case. The binoculars are in good usable and adjustable condition with the Strichplatte in place in the right eyepiece. Hard to find as a complete set!

A very nice M31 messkit marked CFL 36 indicating production by Carl Feldhaus Aluminium-und Metallwerke, Lüdenscheid. The messkit still retains most of its original paint and is in very good condition!

A nice original holster in supple chocolate brown leather for the P35(b). FN High-Power pistol. Nicely marked clg 4 indicating production by Ernst Melzig, Lederwaren, Liegnitz. A nice original holster for the P35(b). FN High-Power pistol in unissued condition!

Reissued M16 double decal Heer helmet in very good, lightly used condition. The helmet retains both of its originally applied decals, liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a nice example in a deep apple green colour with 95% of its original finish remaining. The helmet is a desirable size 66 shell with a size 57 liner. The crown of the helmet has a black ink stamp 57. The helmet is a stunning example of a reissued Austrian helmet!

One of the rarest accessories to any Wehrmacht artillery piece, for sure always missing! These lanyards with a pullweight where attached to the breech of the gun to create a safe space between the breech and the gunner. The breech would fly back with a high velocity breaking anything in its path such as limbs. Firing a artillery piece live without one would result in heavy injuries. The weight is nicely marked bzo indicating production by J. F. Kayser, Maschinenfabrik, Nürnberg-O. For sure one of the rarest items I’ve had to offer!

Rare late war 4 panel Zeltbahn in Reduced Splittertarn pattern. The Zeltbahn is in very good unissued condition and comes with most if not all originally sewn brown(!) metal Italian buttons. This is one of the rarest Zeltbahns to find and this one is most probably the best example out there. Hard to upgrade!

Stunning untouched Heer M43 combat tunic. One of the most common tunics issued and worn by members of the Heer during the Normand and later campaigns but exceptionally hard to find in this unwashed, untouched condition. The garment retains the period factory sewn Einheitslitzen. The breast eagle is period factory sewn through the liner with a T-stitch(!). The garment retains weapon oil, mud and sweat stains. The garment has a lot of wear but minor moth damage. If you are looking for a real untouched combat tunic; this is it.

A very nice latewar messkit or Kochgeschirr made by Annweiler Email-u.Metall-Werke in late 1944 or 1945. The marking RBNR. 0/0657/0001 was a latewar substitute for AEM.A. which is usually stamped on items from this maker. This messkit is finished with enamel and after that painted over before it left the factory. The messkit retains 90% of its original enamel finish.

A truly uncommon and interesting latewar messkit!

Original grey Waffen-SS BeVo sleeve eagle. This is a typical example of a combat worn and tunic removed original Waffen-SS BeVo sleeve eagle that would be the perfect match to a worn tunic!

Nice lightbrown Sanitäter pouches in very good, unissued condition. One of them is marked dny 1941 indicating production by Karl Bollmann & Co., Lederwarenfabrik, Tuttlingen. There are a few scissors inside the pouch.

A nice original Y-strap in good used condition marked RBNr. 0/0871/0015 . The Y-strap is a late war type with a late war backstrap with the “wire” hook. The strap is a nice supple and complete example, typical as issued to the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS.

Typical black late war holster for the CZ27 pistol in pebbled leather. Nicely marked on the carrying loop!

Rare pre war fuze setting pouch marked J. Ensch &Co. Ohrdruf 1934. The leather is in good, supple condition.
