Original German militaria

Stunning combat used M31 pattern canteen. The canteen is marked M. & C. 40 which indicates and manufacturer which is still unknown till this day! Almost all M. & C. produced canteens are made in 1939 and are in completely unissued condition, sometimes even together with the original factory box. Finding a 1940 dated example made by M. & C. in combat used condition is rare!

Excellent combat used and named steel M42 messkit or Kochgeschirr in olive green paint. The messkit retains around 75% of the factory finish. The messkit is nicely marked ESB 43 which indicates production by Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin in 1943. Nice combat used steel messkit in pretty hard combat used condition!

Very rare bright red coloured butterdish in absolutely stunning condition. This butterdish is produced in the first pattern with the coarse tread. This example is unmarked and less frequently than the marked red examples. Hard to find example which would be impossible to upgrade!

Unissued wound badge in black by Klein & Quenzer with issue bag and paper wrap. Mint unissued piece!

Rare original collar tabs for a officer in a Nebelwerferabteilung.

Rare matching Luftwaffe shoulderboards for a Leutnant in the Hermann Göring Division. Textbook examples with Doeskin white underlay.

Textbook late war K98 ammunition pouch marked RBNR.

Original K98 rifle carrying sling end piece or Haltestück in good used condition. This part is often missing from the sling and finding a spare is really hard. Very rare original spare part for the K98 sling!

Original starter tab for the MG34 and MG42. These starter tabs were linked to the standard 50 round belts committing the need for opening the top cover to reload. The tab is marked dej 11 40 indicating production by Schwelmer Stahl- u. Eisen-Giesserei Gustav Schubeis, Schwelm in Westfalen.

Original starter tab for the MG34 and MG42. These starter tabs were linked to the standard 50 round belts ommitting the need for opening the top cover to reload. The tab is marked Switz 39 indicating production by Siemens Elektrowärmer G.m.b.H., Werk Sörnewitz.

MG34 and MG42 starter tab marked 15A 40

Original starter tab for the MG34 and MG42. These starter tabs were linked to the standard 50 round belts committing the need for opening the top cover to reload. The tab is marked cuh/ouh but the marking is not clear enough to state this clearly!

Textbook German helmet chinstrap in good, close to mint condition, most likely unissued. The chinstrap is nicely marked ftb which is a rather common maker for chinstraps but is still an unknown maker. Beautiful close to mint late war example which is hard to find as a spare!

Excellent original chinstrap for Heer/Luftwaffe (Wehrmacht) EM enlisted mens visor cap. The chinstrap is nicely marked with an ink stamp Rahm & Kampmann, Wuppertal 1938. The chinstrap is unissued and in good usable condition and is very rare to find as a spare!

Excellent original chinstrap for Heer/Luftwaffe (Wehrmacht) EM enlisted mens visor cap. The chinstrap is unissued and in good usable condition and is very rare to find as a spare!

Matching issue tent pegs in unissued condition. The pegs are typical pressed wood construction encapsulated in bakelite. Every soldier was issued one pole, two pegs and one Zeltleine together with his Zeltbahn.

Excellent pre war aluminium single tent peg in excellent and m most likely unissued condition. The tent peg is nicely marked H 38 which indicates production by an unclear producer in 1938. The peg is original and complete with its factory attached cord!

Distance meter or Kurvenmesser. The Kurvenmesser is in great working condition in its original leather pouch. Although these are mostly advertised as ‘ Wehrmacht ‘ or being a issued piece; these are all privately purchased. To be quite frank; 99% of the offered examples on the market today are most probably post war, with this one being no different other then it being advertised correctly. These pieces are however exactly the same as the 1940’s examples as the factories that made these never really changed the ‘winning’ concept. A nice mapcase accessory in good working condition at a sharp price.

Nice set of 2 matching equipment straps in slightly used condition. Both straps are marked with RBNr. 0/0375/0033 and are in completely matching condition. Excellent matching set of RBNr. marked straps in great condition which would look perfect on a mannequin!

Textbook US M1936 suspenders in good condition. Please note that one rivet is loose; otherwise still finctional.
