German militaria

Rare Kriegsmarine Narvik campaign shield in very good condition. Unmarked Cupal piece but a typical piece that most probably can be attributed to the maker Juncker. Very rare to find in this condition!

Textbook close combat claps or Nahkampfspange im Bronze by Steinhauer & Luck. Nice piece in undamaged condition with a large portion of its original bronze finish remaining.

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

Immediate post war manufactured mess kit, made by MMT in Tournus in 1945. These mess kits are exactly the same as the pre war examples. The lid however looks to be pre war and has a German name inscribed in the lid.

Typical black Sanitäter pouch marked DRK Sanitätslager Babelsberg 36 in good condition but with one damaged stitching part.

Rare empty cardboard ammunition box for flare ammunition. These cardboard boxes are very hard to find because they mostly didn’t survive the war! Excellent example!

Beautiful straight E-tool in very good condition maker marked ekz indicating production by Rich. Henkel, Werkzeugfabrik, Viernau/Thüringen.

Period modified US Colt 1911 shoulder holster with period added magazine loops. The shoulder holster is in good, lightly worn condition. Hard to find period modified holster!

Excellent M31 pattern breadbag with very nice brown leather details. The breadbag is nicely marked 1939 and has RAD (Reicharbeitsdienst) unit markings on the inside. Textbook RAD issue example in simply perfect condition! Impossible to upgrade!

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 blank rank collar tab in perfect condition, perfect to match with any runic tab!

A very rare variant Waffen-SS runic collar tab embroidered on plain woven fabric which is not wool, felt or BeVo. The back still shows remnants of a RZM tag. This is for sure one of the rarest runic tabs to find !

Waffen-SS officer runic collar tab in very good condition. Textbook construction and embroidery that would be very hard to upgrade!

Rare and textbook single vertical Waffen-SS Totenkopf embroided collar tab. This example is in good, as found condition showing age to the skull but is otherwise unissued. The design of the skull is the typical for the RZM 308 ‘long bone’ pattern.
This one was bought by me, straight from the grandson of a Dutch resistance member who collected ‘souvenirs’ at the end of the war in and around the town of Breda. The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A textbook example that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!
