German militaria

A top mint late war Heer belt buckle in blue color or Einheitskoppelschloss by RODO.

A very nice original Laufschützer 43, a barrel carrier designed to carry both the MG34 and MG42 barrels. The barrel carrier comes with its originally attached sling in full length. The paint still retains up to 80% on this piece and it would be very hard to upgrade this piece. Most barrel carriers on the market have replaced slings, been repainted or even stripped and blued postwar. This one is a fully untouched late war example in very good used condition!

Hard to find small webbing compass lanyard. Nicely ink marked. Hook in functional condition.

A nice early tropical equipment belt marked L.L.G. HESSEN 1942.  Large sized 100 cm example in stone mint condition!

A simple, untouched single decal M42 helmet in excellent condition. Marked NS66 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. Inside a minty liner complete with a partial domestamp. I’ll let the pictures do the talking. A stunning original helmet with a size 58 liner.

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!

Hard to find Zeiler 4842 bakelite flashlight. Made out of bakelite these torches are easily damaged. Finding a undamaged one is hard! The flashlight is complete with the button strap manufactured out of Presstoff.

Nice original liner with its original drawstring. Named Steinkopf and in light worn condition. Hard to find spare for a size 68 shell. The liner itself is sized 60, which is a great size for big mannequins!

Something missing on most if not all tunics often offered for sale. Hard to find spare set in nice and honest worn condition. Rayon piped with white Waffenfarbe for Infanterie troops.

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet marked 42 asw indicating production by E. & F. Horster & Co. Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 7440 and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good uncleaned, unsharpened and matching (!) condition and is complete with its tropical frog.

Late war pattern non isolated short handled wire cutters. Nice pioneer or Gruppenführer/Nco item!

Rare to find complete rack for carrying the leGrW 36 or 5cm mortar grenades. Nice to find complete rack with all straps that are often missing. These racks are often seen with Norwegian paint covering the metal but this one still retains all of its wartime paint. Hard to find a better one!

A stunning and very rare Luftwaffe tropical belt, buckle and bayonet frog. downright impossible to find spare, let alone in a set. These where one of the first models of tropical issue equipment for the Luftwaffe and only produced in a short run. Very, very, very rare!

A wartime issued K.W. 27 or Kartenwinkelmesser 27. This set of of map grids used to calculate distances and angles on maps. These where issued together with the mapcase! The set is complete with all 3 grids and the pouch in near mint condition.

A blue camouflaged Luftwaffe gasmask canister named to Gefreiter Pleith. The strap on the mask is marked: 0563 LDS. SCH. ZG. 4/VI Gefr. Pleith. This is probably the inscription on his Erkennungsmarke. The container retains it blue Luftwaffe paint up to 95%. It is very hard to find a Luftwaffe blue gasmask in this condition!

A stunning light brown equipment belt in mint condition. Nicely marked L.L.G. Baden 11 1937. Cant be upgraded!
