Nice original M38 communications gasmask which comes in its original tall canister. The set is in overall very good condition with all of the accessories still there! The canister and the mask itself are multiply marked/named Baum and the canister features a label on the inside as well reading: Funker-Gefreiter, Baum, Rudolf, Feldpost: 29144. Beautiful communications gasmask which are rather rare in untouched condition with all of the parts matching and named!

Very interesting M38 gasmask in its original short canister ID’ed to Hauptmann Pollin O., Fpn. 18462D – Panzer-Lehr-Division. Interestingly the mask is named Oberleutnant and the label itself read Hauptmann which suggest he ranked up while having this gasmask with him! The gasmask is multiply named/marked and is a very interesting research project. The label on the inside of the canister reads: Stab II Pz. Gren. 7 Kp., Hauptmann Rollin O., Feldpost 18462D

Nice original 10×50 power binoculars or Dienstglas in overall good condition. The binoculars come complete with all of its accessories: the rubber rain cover, the leather strap and the buttoning tab. The optics could be cleaned but are otherwise complete with reticle and are usable. One of the oculars has a crack, otherwise I can’t find damages. The Dientsglas is nicely marked blc which indicates production by Carl Zeiss, Jena. Nice (over)complete binoculars in very nice condition which came straight out of a household clearing in Denmark and has never been in a collection before!

Textbook USMC canteen with depot made cover. The canteen cover is unit marked 644 indicating the 4th Marine Division. Rare example!

Rare opportunity to acquire a authentic helmet as worn by the French resistance or FFI. The helmet retains its period painted FFI, Croix de Lorraine and French flag. The helmet is in untouched condition and would be hard to upgrade. A unusual, authentic helmet for a French resistance member that would be very hard to upgrade!

M1926 French Adrian helmet for Police de Vichy which was the police force during the German occupation of France.

Late war no decal M42 helmet marked HKP66 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains its factory installed liner in the large size 59 with its factory finish retaining up to 95%. Excellent and textbook example! The helmet came straight out of a household clearing in Denmark and has never been in a collection before!

Textbook Heer EM NCO Infanterie visor by Deutsche Wertarbeit, named Leo Franken inside. The visor is in very good, lightly worn condition and would be very hard to upgrade.

A very nice late war Waffen-SS belt buckle made by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid. These buckles where made later in the war and came unmarked. A textbook buckle in great condition still retaining up to 85% of it’s original finish!

A nice original combat worn and textbook Splittertarn cover in strong used condition. The cover is photographed on a size 64 helmet shell. These helmet covers where issued to a lot of different units later in the war but one of the most prominent early adaptors was the Grossdeutschland division. Scarce to find helmet cover that retains loads of character and is in great condition!

Textbook Luftwaffe bullion breast eagle in very good condition.

A nice photo album for a soldier serving in Infanterie Regiment 65 part of the 22 Luftlande division who took part in the invasion of the Netherlands in 1940. The album has many interesting photos including with glider landings, heavy MG’s, Mortars and other accompanying documents. A very nice and complete album which would be a great base for further research!

Excellent pre war aluminium single tent peg for the M31 Zeltbahn in excellent and most likely unissued condition. The tent peg is nicely marked S 35 which indicates production by an unclear producer in 1935, which is very early to encounter on these pegs! The peg is original and complete with its factory attached cord!

Luftwaffe droop tail breast eagle for a four pocket tunic. Hard to find pre war example!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RFNr. 1/1044/0014 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SScombat mannequin!

K98 ammunition pouch in good, lightly worn condition marked Joseph Moll 1942. The pouch still retains all internal dividers!

Nice original short gasmask canister strap in good, used condition. The strap is the variant with 3 adjustment holes. Nice example to complete a canister!
