Original German militaria

Excellent political/HJ (Hitlerjugend) canteen in good condition. The canteen is nicely marked RZM M/6/6/39 which indicates production in 1939. Notice the unusual and rare black coloured felt cover, black coloured covers are almost impossible to find in contrary to the dark blue or natural coloured examples. Nice example for the specialized canteen or Hitlerjugend collector!

 

Excellent headphones for usage with the field radios or dfh.f (Doppelfernhörer für Feldfunkgeräte). The headphones are in good condition and complete with the original cord, plug and the Erzatsmaterial band. The headphones are nicely marked SABA which indicates the manufacturer. Excellent example which would look great for a radio operators display!

Excellent and large bronze bust of Adolf Hitler marked H.M. Ley indicating design by Hedwig Maria Ley. The bust comes with base plate but without the marble base itself which is often missing. The bust is in good, as found condition and originally stood in a undisclosed Belgian mayors office. The bust is a 28 cm tall life sized example which is rare as most are small variants. The artist Ley is one of the most sought after designs and is hard to obtain. Excellent bust depicting a infamous Austrian painter!

A very nice and unissued  late war Gebirgsjäger anorak Jacket (Windbluse) marked 1942 Carl Becker Koblenz Grösse II. These reversible camouflage garments are waterproofed and meant for the Ski- und Gebirgsjäger. The garment is in a very nice and large size fitting all modern mannequins.

Beautiful, untouched Heer field blouse for a Oberstleutnant in Infanterie Regiment 19 with Wiederholungsspange. The garment is in good, worn condition with period sewn insignia. The left breast pocket retains multiple period sewn award loops with award ghosting remaining. Infanterie regiment 19 played a vital role in the 1939 campaign pushing into Poland. The 10th of may 1940 it was the first unit to breach to Juliana Kanaal fortifications in the Netherlands and pushed onwards to the Scheldt. After the 1940 campaign it was sent to the eastern front and saw actions right until the end of the war. A stunning tunic in very good condition!

Excellent, field worn tunic for a Oberfeldwebel der Jägertruppen. The garment is in good, worn condition with loads of character. The breast eagle is period zig zag sewn through the lining. The collar is a period modification which were popular amongst NCO’s. The shoulderstraps are period privately purchase examples. The breast pocket retains its Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz that was period affixed. A nice garment with loads of character!

Rare original Tropical motorcyclists coat or Kradmantel marked Lago-München. The garment is in very good, light worn condition and would be hard to upgrade.

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!

Pre war stone grey breeches in very good, lightly worn condition. Nice issue breeches which are nicely labelled on the inside!

Canadian battledress, as worn by a British soldier serving in the Corps of Royal Signals in the 7th Armoured Division. The jacket is in good, worn condition with wartime sewn insignia. The insignia consist of the flashes of the Corps of Royal Signals and the insignia for the 7th Armoured Division. Army Council Instruction 1207 dated 9.9.44 changed the wording from Royal Corps of Signals to Royal Signals which indicates the sewing of the insignia in September 1944 earliest.
Most probably this garment was worn by a radio operator or despatch rider.  The Canadian Battledresses were often worn by British troops as its quality wool was preferred over the British wool. The Battledress is a nice size 10 and would be hard to upgrade. Unlike many Battledresses on the market; this one shows character and actual field wear which would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice original Luftschutz gladiator type helmet in very good condition. The helmet retains its original factory applied liner and chinstrap. The original paint and decal still retains up to 90%!

Excellent original Belgian M1931 Adrian helmet with original liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a typical wartime used example with factory paint.

Excellent rubber pattern Stirnlampe or headlight in its original pouch in very good, used condition. The rubber pattern is the most frequently encountered pattern but this example is executed in green(!) coloured rubber which seems to be quite rare! The head band which is still flexible and the cable are both in good and most likely working condition. The normally bakelite battery case is missing and has most likely been periodically changed for a smaller battery case which is still on it now! The rubber part on the Stirnlampe or headlamp is nicely marked ROKA 1939 which indicates production by Robert Karst, Berlin in 1939. The headlamp or Stirnlampe comes in its original storage pouch which is virtually always missing and not available as a spare! The pouch itself is in great condition and nicely marked PW 40 and WaA 584 which indicates most likely a subcontractor who produced these storage pouches for ROKA. These headlight are hard to find, let alone executed in green rubber with the original storage pouch!

Excellent 1941 dated aluminium M31 messkit or “Kochgeschirre M 31 (Alum.)” with up to 90% of the factory paint. This example has some initials and names scratched in the surface which been tried to erase at a later point. The M31 messkit is nicely marked on both parts with KCL 41 which indicates production by Klinter & Co., Lüdenscheid in 1941. KCL is a hard to encounter maker and this is a nice example for the specialized collector! Excellent piece!

Extremely rare and almost impossible to find piece of standard equipment with winter camouflage (Whitewash). This late war produced steel Heer belt buckle retains up to 75% of its green coloured factory finish. The paint is covered with traces of winter camouflage in the form of Whitewash, Whitewashed equipment is very hard to find! Excellent untouched whitewashed winter camouflaged messkit in great condition which would be impossible to upgrade!

Unissued condition belt buckle marked M4/45 indicating production by Cramer & Dombach, Lüdenscheid. Rare injection moulded zinc example with its original paper factory tag. Traces of a small period label of what seems to be a small shop or magazine specialized in the storage of equipment! Impossible to upgrade!
