German militaria

Period boxed flask of Cardiazol liquid without the content. Nice and rather hard to encounter original period medicine with a nice detail that the price is in RM (Reichsmark). Nice display item!

Textbook Heer schouderboards for a Leutnant in Gebirgs-Artillerie Regiment 511.

Single Heer M36 shoulderstrap for a Hauptfeldwebel der Feldgendarmerie.

Interesting tailor made and privately purchased shoulderstraps for a Hauptfeldwebel der Artillerie. Interesting design feature that these straps were made to be sold to Heer and Luftwaffe troops as they are fully reversible.

Beautiful Heer M35 single decal helmet marked ET66 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a beautiful example of a wartime reissued helmet with a thick textured camouflage paint. The helmet retains up to 85% of its period paint finish and period installed liner. The split pins are nearly void of paint which is typical for this thick textured paint which adheres difficulty and easily chips off. A very nice original helmet with a nice thick camouflage paint!

Excellent and rare first pattern tropical Heer pith helmet. The pith helmet is in good used condition and is complete with both metal decals and the original leather chinstrap. The pith helmet retains its factory installed liner and is a perfect example for the tropical front collector!

Beautiful crushed Heer Panzer EM/NCO visor in as found condition. Nice cap with a lot of character!

Beautiful Heer EM/NCO visor in good untouched condition. The visor is a nice large size and has the typical ‘pinch’ in the top. The visor retains its unit markings to Infanterie Regiment 66.

Late war small portable radio transmitter Dorette. The smallest and last German field radio. The Germans entered the Dorette into service late 1944. The radio still has 95% of its original paint and looks to be in very good condition. The Dorette is in very good condition.

Textbook Deutsche Volkssturm armband with misprint in very good condition!

Matching pioneer side pouches marked RB-Nr. 0/0012/0017. These waist pouches were worn with the rucksack and Y-straps. These are hard to find with the internal dividers and the connecting strap intact. Beautiful pair!

Rare early dark green webbing K98 bayonet frog in very good condition. This example features its original brown leather retaining strap which is a first for me, most likely some a transitional example! Very nice and interesting example in very good condition!

Textbook original straight E-tool in good but a bit rusty condition. The E-tool is nicely marked R. Dahlmann 1943. Nice original example!

Nice set consisting out of a folding E-tool complete with its first pattern carrier manufactured out of Pressstoff. The set seems to be untouched but the top cover of the carrier has been resewn at some point. The carrier is nicely marked Sachs & Deisselberg, Hamburg 1940. Very nice set with a nice named first pattern carrier!

Messkits and canteens enameled in these colours are attributed to be made by the Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik (DEF) run by Oskar Schindler. Messkits and canteens, unmarked, in these specific colours have been found in the old factory storage of the former DEF.  There are several other makers of enameled steel canteens and messkits but they all carry different characteristic features such as markings or specific colours. No other maker utilizes these light gray and blue colours and lacks markings. The light blue “wash” on top of the enamel is one of the typical features. The messkit is in good used condition. A very nice and rare messkit!

Textbook binoculars or Dienstglas strap in very good condition. The strap comes complete with its black painted pips!

Excellent Dienstglas buttoning tab or Knöpflasche in very good, used condition. Perfect spare example!

Unmarked bakelite rain cover or Okularschütz in a beautiful slightly used condition. Hard to find as a spare in this condition!

Rare original tabbed aluminum belt buckle Schmidt & Co Schwelm 1937 – one of the rarest Heer belt buckles to find! The buckle is in good, used condition.

German helmet liner size 66/58 with a zinc ring. Typical example for a M40 helmet shell in size 66.
