German militaria

Original German helmet chinstrap in good used condition. Hard to find spare with painted steel buckle.

A nice and usable 5 liter Trinkwasser water carrier.
These carriers where first introduced around 1941 probably due to the hot climate in Italy and Africa. These are becoming hard to find and are a good and secure way to take drinking water to the front. This one still has most of its original paint and stencils and is in very good condition!

The canister is definitely good enough to clean and use. As far as I can tell it has not been used to store oil, gasoline or other poisonous substances.

A very nice late war P38 soft shell holster. The holster is nicely maker marked 0/0833/0007 indicating production by Hans Römer, Neu-Ulm. Simply a superb late war P38 holster in mint condition, can not be upgraded!

A nice and rare M44 type Mantel or overcoat in unissued, near mint condition. The coat has been made from the typical late war grey brown recycled wool. Unlike the regular greatcoat it has slits for the belt hooks in the side that would only fit with a M44 tunic. The jacket has one or two small moth holes but is in good unissued condition and a nice medium to large size for mannequins. Rare late war garment!

A stone mint Q66 Luftwaffe M40 helmet in stone mint condition. One of the first M40 Luftwaffe helmets with its size 58 reinforced aluminum liner. The helmet retains 99% of its original paint and 99% of its original Luftwaffe decal. The helmet is marked Q66 indicating production by Quist.  Simply the best Luftwaffe M40 helmet I’ve ever owned, a stunning top shelf example!

If you are looking for just one Heer Zeltbahn to fit your collection; look no further. This is truly the best Splittertarn Heer Zeltbahn I have ever found. A nice late war variant marked RBNR. The Zeltbahn retains all of its period sewn bakelite buttons, three tent peg ropes and nice and vibrant colours. This Zeltbahn does not have a single thing I don’t like and I would easily class it as A-grade. Can’t be upgraded, a simple equipment item but simply in perfect condition!

A very nice Daimon 2201 torch in near mint condition. The torch is complete with both bulbs and seems in working condition. Hard to upgrade period torch!

A mint blue Heer buckle by Bruder Schneider in the original factory wrapping. These buckles where wrapped in used newspaper against scratching. First time I see a mint buckle still in its original factory wrapping!

A very nice M43 field tunic made from HBT linnen or Drillich. It comes with its original factory applied Litzen and breast eagle. The jacket is a nice medium size and marked  0/0150/0041 which dfers to the maker M. Michovius, Uniformfabrik, Cottbus. The jacket has been worn in the field and still has dirt in the pockets and stains on the elbows and the back. The tunic has multiple small mud/dirt stains. The jacket was found on the attic of a Belgian hospital around 20 years ago together with 3 other identical HBT m43 tunics from the same maker with the exact same insignia configuration.

A brown leather P38 holster in strong used condition. One of the loops on the back has a period repair. If you’re looking for a combat worn holster, this is it!

Nice pair of late war EM Schulterklappen for a Panzergrenadier in mint condition. Rayon piped and lined textbook construction but in Italian wool. This is the first ever pair I saw in Italian wool. A perfect pair to match with a minty Italian M43 or M44 tunic!

A late war Heer Splittertarn 4-panel zeltbahn in good used condition. The Zeltbahn is nicely marked R.B.N.R. 0/0835/0001 and has most of its originally sewn buttons. Interestingly, the two corner panels on the Zeltbahn are visibly made out of Carbon Overprint fabric if one takes a closer look. One or two small damages, other then that a nice late war zeltbahn!

Rare original Dutch Waffen-SS poster dated 1942. The poster is large (108 x80cm) and in good condition with strong colours. There are some minor damages and tears in the folds. But still a very nice original Dutch Waffen-SS poster that would very nicely display in a collection!
The poster reads:

Moet ik ook? Neen! U moet niet maar FLINKE KERELS melden zich aan bij het Vrijwilligerslegioen-Nederland, hoofdkwartier Koninginnegracht 22 Den Haag.

Must I go too? NO! U don’t have to but fit or strong men should report to the Volunteers legion Nederland, hoofdkwartier Koninginnegracht 22 Den Haag.

 

A very nice and salty M1 helmet by McCord with its original Lieutenant bars. The helmet is in salty, uncleaned condition. The shell is marked 288 and retains its original Fixed bale chinstrap loops. The liner is a type 3 westinghouse variant with press studs for the liner band. A nice and salty M1 helmet with liner and Lieutenant bars!

A stunning(!) original winter camouflage gasmask canister in untouched condition. The canister still retains most of its original winter camouflage   that has various stains from dirt and blood. The canister retains its original straps and closing mechanism that have never been removed or replaced from the canister. Inside is a nice canvas covered gasmask with filter, spare lenses and a polishing cloth. Untouched winter camouflage items are extremely hard to find as most where overpainted as the snow melt. If you after a real, untouched winter camouflage gasmask canister this is the one for you. You will definitely not find a better one!

A very nice Luftwaffe tropical field blouse for a flight or paratrooper Unterfeldwebel. The field blouse is complete with a machine sewn original Kreta cuff title and a set of tropical yellow piped shoulderstraps for a Unterfeldwebel. The breast eagle is machine sewn to the field blouse but is restored to the piece. The field blouse is in good, lightly worn condition and would be a very nice display tunic!

A nice mapcase that was found with the items inside. The small wallet has a set of shoulder straps numbers indicating the individual soldier was a member of Infanterie Regiment 19. The mapcase is in strong used condition but still nice and supple and more importantly, with its original contents!

A nice pair of late war M37 lowboots marked 0/0441/5032 in lightly worn condition. A nice large size fitting most if not all mannequins and complete with a set of leather laces. Marked 0/0441/5032 on the top. These lowboots where issued to most personnel in the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. A nice and textbook set with the shark type nose! A matching pair of typical M37 lowboots in good condition is hard to find!
