Beautiful Untouched M35 untouched Luftwaffe double decal helmet marked NS64 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte.

Scarce and superb original Luftwaffe issue survival machete complete with its impossible to find green tropical frog. Nicely maker marked Alcoso Solingen. These where issued with the bigger planes together with a survival kit containing flares, rations and other items. The Machete is in used but good condition complete with its original frog, a superb set that would be impossible to upgrade!

Very nice stripped Waffen-SS M40 tunic. Not to be confused with a Heer M40 tunic, this is a genuine SS contract made M40 tunic. The garment retains the clear imprints and ghosting of SS EM insignia. The imprint of the collar tabs, cuff title and sleeve eagle can easily be seen. The garment is a good medium size for modern mannequins. The Garment came out of household clearing and has all insignia and the piece of lining cloth where SS-BW was once stamped removed. The garment would be a perfect example to fully restore or have the collar underneath a smock or dot 44 tunic. The garment retains most of the fluff on the wool and is in good condition.

Exceptional named and early pre war 1935 dated M35 double decal Heer helmet marked NS66 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The skirt of the helmet is bears the lot number E10 which is one of the lowest lot numbers I’ve encountered. The non-reinforced early pattern Schuberth liner is dated 1935 on the band ánd the round marking on the leather. The helmet retains its originally attached liner and chinstrap marked G. Schiele Loburg 1937. The rim on the helmet is the typical early production with the hand rolled rim. The rear skirt of the shell retains multiple unit markings. One being 11./J.R.10 indicating 11. Kompanie Infanterie Regiment 10. The other marking is also named to Oberschütze Panitz 5./J.R.101. Both these units took part of the Polenfeldzug in 1939 and the Westfeldzug in 1940. The helmets exterior bears two Heer decals with the national three-color partially period removed as ordered in 1940. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original factory paint.

The helmet was recently recovered in household clearance in the area of Dresden which perfectly matches the unit marking inside the skirt. Infanterie regiment 10 was renamed into Infanterie Regiment Dresden in 1935. The helmet has never been in a collection before – very hard to find a real early war combat helmet like this one which both survived the Polenfeldzug in 1939 and the Westfeldzug in 1940! A perfect helmet for a 1940 combat mannequin, this helmet is really a nice textbook example of a pre war combat helmet, this helmet has it all!

Rare original ZF4 ddx marked ZF4 scope with the original matching numbers though damaged mount. The scope is in good useable and adjustable condition. Nicely maker marked ddx indicating production by Voigtlaender u. Sohn AG, Braunschweig. The scope is numbered 61949 as with the mount. The mount is a original example maker marked 359 indicating production by Walther. The mount retains the original bands which has one tear but otherwise intact. The bottom slide rail is damaged. This makes it impossible to firmly affix it to a G43. Ofcourse this can be restored by a skilled metalworker. Otherwise the price reflects this; undamaged mint examples range between 3700 and 5500 euro. So if you’re looking for a nice display piece that doesn’t break the bank but is fully original; this is it!

Textbook Normandy three-tone camouflage pattern helmet in very good condition. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original three-tone Normandy camouflage and is one of the best specimens I’ve seen so far. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap. The liner and its three matching pins is original to the shell which is obvious through the overpaint that is in the inner rim of the helmet which also covers the top of the liner band. The split pins retain remnants of the camouflage paint but are mostly bare due to their base material. This is a typical treat to the early nickel coated split pins. They are however original to the helmet! The helmet is really a great example of a Normandy camo helmet and would be very hard to upgrade. If you are looking for a stunning great condition three-tone camouflage helmet – this is it!

This helmet is a spectacular example of a three-tone camouflage on a reissued world war one helmet. The helmet looks to be size 66 shell. These reissued world war one helmets can be found from time to time, but this is one of the only ones I’ve ever seen in three tone camouflage! A stunning helmet that would fit in most if not all camouflage helmet collections!
