German militaria

A nice set in near mint condition!

Hard to find wartime issue personal item. These where issued to the troops and are hard to find in good unissued condition as most have been used up postwar. 99% of the troops wore trouser suspenders like these or used their privately purchased examples.

Rare pre war Dutch model 34 Pionierschop for Infanterie troops. Much rarer then its German counterpart, complete with its original paint finish.

A nice original Reibert manual. These manuals where private issue in the 1940’s and a very popular item. These manuals are very thorough and they talk over every single aspect the German soldier was taught in. The book contains German history, Drills, Mannerisms, squad formations, weapons handling, shooting and maintenance, airplane recognition, horse riding, ranks, how to behave/write/talk, heavy weapons and so on and so on.

They where brought out in different versions, this one being the variant for the “Schützen der Schützenkompanie” or simply riflemen. The manual counts 332 pages and is in readable condition.

Rare US army issue enameled canteen marked US VOLLRATH 1942. 

A nice issue compass “A”. The compass comes with its original cord and is in working condition. The compass is with the letter “A” on top indicating production after may 1944 and a clockwise 64 Mills direction.

Rare late war Ersatz German bayonet frog made from recycled leather. The material is supple and one can easily tell by the leather that its been made from leather previously used for other purposes. A lot of old stitch holes remain. Nice and interesting late war piece!

Nice original MG34 and MG42 wrench marked bhm indicating production by Gustav Auerswald, Besteckfabrik, Grünhain/Sa. This tool is a standard item from the MG tool kit.

Rare small strap for binding the three legs of the Dreibein 34 together. Very hard to find strap that is always missing!

Original US 82nd Airborne patch

A nice issue military map of Moll, Donck and the Gheel surroundings. A very interesting map depicting the area of heavy battles late 1944. Interesting enough, this map is print on the base of a captured German map.

In very good condition nicely maker marked and dated 1942.

A very nice mint original pack of Lucky strike cigarettes. Iconical piece loved and smoked by both the American and German soldiers. Hard to find in mint condition with original content and military tax label!

A very hard to find detail to finish a NCO or CO display. This original German army issue signal whistle made from bakelite with its original field gray knotted lanyard is in mint condition. Many commands where given with whistles during combat and the use and recognition of the different signals was something most soldiers would have known.

A nice set of matching 1941 steel Zeltbahn pegs

Nice original ring for members of the Dutch National Socialist Movement. As the moment was low on funds in 1940 they started a campaign where members could trade in precious metals as gold or silver for this ring. Nice small period item!

Nice original MG34 ruptured cartridge remover. This tool is a standard component from the MG tool kit!

Very nice original map of Roermond but globally Limburg area.

Nice matching RG34 marked ab41 indicating production by Mundlos Aktien Gesellschaft. Hard to find a RG34 with all original components and in matching condition!

Nice mid war cavalry backpack, the overall condition of the backpack is excellent. Complete with the leather carrying straps. Nicely marked with Martin Forker Withen/Sa 1942. Hard to upgrade.
