German militaria

Hard to find matching pair of Luftwaffe Gamaschen or gaiters to match a nice pair of M37 Schnürschuhe. 

A very nice original pair of dust goggles marked FD 42. The elastic in the band is still strong and the glass is still in one piece. A very nice and textbook pair as seen on the two original photographs. The central nut has been replaced which is a common treat to these goggles. A nice pair of goggles to add to a helmet.

Scarce late war brown Y-straps in lightly worn condition. Hard to find brown pair of Y-straps nicely RBNR marked inside the O-ring leather. Scarce!

Original 1942 dated Blaugrau buttons for Heer, Luftwaffe and SS. In 1943 a new einheitsfarbe meaning colour for all branches was introduced and used on all garments. This was never fully implemented but a large portion of the M43 and most if not all M44 tunics received these. From that date onwards Graublau was the new textbook colour for pebbled buttons on uniforms. These can be seen on original m42, m43 and m44 tunics, mantels and caps. Also the M43 tropical uniforms and Fliegerblusen featured these!

Straight E-tool in used as found condition. Nicely maker marked for Dahlmann & Sohn 1944.

A very nice obviously combat worn non-reversible Sumpftarn parka in salty condition. The parka is a nice desirable size 2. The jacket has a few replaced buttons, a few holes and some obvious wear. If you’re looking for a combat jacket – this is it!

A nice and minty pair of lightweight Y-straps as issued to Kavallerie, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine personnel. Nicely maker marked 1/0348/0022. Hard to upgrade!

A stunning original Waffen-SS plane tree 1/2 overprint smock in mint/unissued condition. The smock is a typical M42 type 1 smock with straight pockets. The pockets are lined with field grey Drillich material with blurred edge pocket flaps. The garment is typically sewn on the sides with a double needle seam and the rest finished with a single needle machine. The rayon drawstring is woven through handsewn holes. All of the foliage loops are fully intact. The sleeves are finished with hand screened 5/6 plane tree. The elastic on the sleeves and waist is still in functional condition and has never been removed or replaced. The smock does not have any damages or holes. The camouflage print is strong and full of contrast and the colours very vibrant. The smock would be a prime piece in any camouflage collection and would be very hard to upgrade.

A nice original Hardshell P38 holster marked jln 1943 indicating production by Deutsche Lederwerkstaetten GmbH, Pirmasens. The holster is in great condition and would be hard to upgrade!

A very nice LP34 in working condition. The LP34 still has the full anodization finish and never has been repainted. The finish still remains for 99% and this is one of the nicest LP34 flare guns I’ve ever owned.  The LP34 is marked AYF 43 which indicates production by “Erma”, B. Geipel, G.m.b.H., Waffenfabrik, Erfurt.

Note!
These flare guns are legal and free to own without permit in the Netherlands for everyone over 18 years of age. Please conduct your local laws before purchasing this product. I am not responsible for any legal concequences if shipped outside of the Netherlands.

These late war Italian made boots where issued and worn throughout units in the Heer and especially in the Waffen-SS who reissued many Italian type uniforms. These boots would be perfect for a late war mannequin. The boots are in good, unworn condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice minty and matching M31 Labeflasche marked G&CL 43 indicating prodution by Gehardi & Co, Lüdenscheid. Hard to upgrade tropical canteen in mint condition!

Typical Wehrmacht issue flashlight in good, unissued condition. Nicely finished in blue grey paint.

A very nice late war Enamelled M42 messkit in good, lightly used condition. The messkit still retains most of its original enameling and is a typical late war messkit in very good condition!

Heavy fully lined Kriegsmarine or Küstenartillerie guard coat or Wachmantel in very good condition. This garment was recently discovered in a cloth processing plant and has never been in a collection before. It’s missing one button on the shoulder and has a few moth holes. Otherwise a very nice garment in lightly worn condition. The coat is fully lined with thick sheepskin creating a very good insulation for the sometimes arctic temperatures at for instance many of the Küstenartillerie batteries in Norway. Hard to find!

A nice grouping that was found in the household of Heinz Preissing several years ago. The grouping consists of a M40 tunic and a Soldbuch with a large amount of paperwork. Also there is a nice large picture of Heinz, sitting next to his equipment. The M40 tunic has its factory machine sewn litzen and breast eagle. The breast eagle is machine sewn, then folded flat and finished by hand. The shoulder boards retain the cyphers for Gebirgsjäger Regiment 98. The Unteroffizierstresse is machine sewn to the collar. The Gebirgsjäger Edelweiss is handsewn. The breast pocket has 4 sets of wartime sewn loops for awards and a small spange above it. The tunic is not shortened or tailored but has several wartime machine sewn repairs. The Soldbuch has many, many entries and a picture in the front. Heinz carried a French or Dutch pistol with 16 rounds of ammunition. He entered service in 1938. Heinz was awarded the Verwundetenabzeichen Im Schwarz in 1941. The Soldbuch corresponds with the Erkennungsmarke. Heinz was a part of the Staff of the unit, possibly later in the war he was the Zahlmeister.

Gebirgsjäger Regiment 98 was one of the first units to enter Poland in 1939. Then following up in the 1940 campaign attacked France, moving through Luxembourg. More information on the unit here.

Although the grouping could bring more if split up, I have no wish to split this group up. The grouping is large and has lots of research possibilities. I wish I had more time to go more into the paperwork; its really a interesting group!

Rare German made holster for the P.37(u) Femaru. The holster is constructed from a mix of webbing and leather. These holsters are sometimes referred to as being tropical issue as these first came at the same time with the webbing equipment. The holster is in very good condition and nicely marked cdc 41 indicating production by Kern, Klager u. Co., Lederwaren, Berlin. The holster was also used and worn with the P.27(t).

Complete Presstoff holster with its original sling and cleaning rod. The pouch is nicely marked fuq 1942, and the cleaning rod is marked GL38. The set is in very good lightly used condition. Hard to find complete set!

Nice and typical late war original Y-strap with simplified backstrap in very good condition. The backstrap is typical for a 44/45 production with a gasmask strap hook.

A nice fur issued Heer fur hat in mint condition. Nicely dated 1943 and size 55 which is a common size for the time period. The cap is in good condition and the fur still retains most of its hairs. Can’t be upgraded!
