German militaria

Textbook example of the Handschar Waffen-SS Collar Tab. These were intended for the 23. SS-Frewilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division “Nederland”. This is an unissued, late war piece, in the typical “Dachau” construction as found in the SS storehouse at the Dachau camp when it was liberated by US Army forces in 1945. These are embroidered in silver-gray on a base of typical SS black wool. On the reverse, the textbook Dachau type coarsely woven tan buckram stiffener is visible. There is some glue on the back, as well as the white stitching common to these Dachau tabs. Overall textbook construction with silver-white embroidered “Handschar” symbol on a typical black wool backing, and on the reverse the coarsely woven tan buckram stiffener is clearly visible.

Waffen-SS EM / NCO RZM runic collar tab in perfect condition. Hard to upgrade piece with 44 marked RZM tag!

Textbook Waffen-SS EM / NCO collar tab 3. SS-Panzer-Division Totenkopf. Typical example embroidered on doeskin.

Waffen-SS BeVo cap trapezoid in unissued condition. Hard to find example on a green background indicating Infantry use.

Textbook tan Waffen-SS BeVo sleeve eagle in unissued condition.

Textbook Waffen-SS RZM sleeve eagle in very good condition.

Rare Waffen-SS sleeve eagle, early embroidered RZM variant produced between 1939 and 1940.

Perfect Heer M43 field blouse in unissued condition. The blouse is a good medium to large size and is manufactured in Italian wool. The Litzen are factory sewn to the collar, the breast eagle is hand applied but in my opinion restored to the garment. Textbook example in unissued condition!

Excellent field/bunker lantern or Einheitslanterne 37 manufactured out of bakelite. These lanterns are hard to find in undamaged condition. Sadly the hook has been bend a bit but this doesn’t affect the overall looks! Excellent example which would look great in any collection!

Original EU-Deactivated MP43 assault gun, deactivated to the current eu specifications, legal to own within the European Union; a piece from my personal collection!

Rare EU deactivated MP43 marked qlv / cos indicating production by AYF or Erma. The MP43 is the model produced before the MP44 and STG-44. The MP43 is a typical late war product with several parts manufactured in the Merze Werke and the Erma Werke. This is a typical late war feature and it results in the typical multi tone finish on the MP43. Hence the different finishes on the gun which are typical for a late piece like this. The MP43 has no moving parts except for the action cover, fire select switch and its safety. It comes with its original leather sling. A nice and rare to find piece that would be very hard to replace!

Interesting 1944 dated ff33 field phone which features steel hardware finished with unusual mat green and  paint. The FF33 is marked prx 1944 which indicates production by Heliowatt Elektrizitäts AG, Werk Schweidnitz/Schlesien. It is also features an white coloured ink stamp “ark” which is an abbreviation for Arktisch which indicates the field telephone is designed so it can be used arctic climates. The overall design of the field phone is a late war variant, unusual paint and bakelite connection points for outgoing lines which were pre 1944 still made out of metal. A truly rare late war field phone in used but good condition!

Note: The field phone appears to be in good shape and is complete with all the necessary parts to use it including the battery box which is mostly broken or missing. I have not opened or tested the field phone!
