Original German militaria

Scarce wooden box for spare components for Vorrat und Zubehör Gasanzeiger (Fest). It once housed inside a fortress at the Festungs Zeugmeisterei.The box retains most of its original finish, text and canvas carrying sling. The sliding lid uncovers the top section of the kit which contains six compartments of 100 detector tubes each. The door for the bottom section is hinged at the bottom of the kit and is opened by a metal fastener which is held in position when the top lid is in place. This bottom section of the kit contains two receptacles for used detector tubes, the connecting hoses for the Festung Gasanzeiger detector set, replacement charcoal cartridges for the exhaust circuits of the set, rubber seats for the detector tubes and an electric cord for a power connection. I have had one or two original Gasanzeiger with its original metal carrying harness, but I’ve never seen the large Vorratskasten and I doubt I’ll ever find another one. This is a must have for a coastal artillery collector!

A very nice Dutch pre war helmet reissued in the Wehrmacht. These helmets where used and worn by secondary troops such as eastern volunteers but most of them got issued to members of the Schutzmannschaft. These helmets are very hard to find, especially in this mint condition. The helmet comes with its chinstrap and wartime converted and assembled German M31 liner.

Nice original iron cross second class marked 3 indicating production by Wilhelm Deumer.

Very nice original leather bayonet frog marked CKY 41 indicating production by Landeslieferungsgenossenschaft Nordmark für das Sattler- und Tapezier-Handwerk e.G.m.b.H., Hamburg. The leather is supple and is a typical early example with strap and aluminum hardware.

Rare metal box for the Sanitäter pouches.

Choice light brown leather bayonet frog marked WERSA München 1941. Very hard to find a light brown bayonet frog in near mint condition.

A very nice original M42 messkit with over 90% of its factory paint remaining. The weskit is marked ET42 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale. This well known helmet manufacturer made a small batch of messkits, just as its collegues EF, and HKP. Rare original messkit!

A very nice original ‘chocolate’ brown equipment belt marked Franz Brehme Walsrode 1939. The belt is also nicely Luftwaffe marked LBA 39. 

A nice original late war tan Fallschirmjäger bandoleer in good used condition. A typical example with many different materials and presstuds used. A small damage to one of the press stud covers, other then that a nice used example with all press studs in working condition!

A mint bayonet marked 44 fnj indicating production by Alexander Coppel GmbH (aka Alcoso), Solingen. The bayonet has never been sharpened or reblued. The bayonet is matching to its phosphatised scabbard with the serial 5171 and has nice red bakelite grips. The bayonet is in exceptional uncleaned, unsharpened and matching (!) condition.

Surely the best coastal artillery gasmask with microphone attatchment I’ve ever found. The canister retains up to 99% of its original paint and is complete with matching straps and early closing latch. The canister is marked underneath with Marine Artillerie and a unreadable number. The mask is clearly marked with the Kriegsmarine acceptance stamp. Choice original gasmask in perfect condition!

A nice late war reinforced Leuchtpistole 42 or LP42 flare pistol. Nicely marked euh indicating production by Metallwarenfabrik C.u. W. Meinel-Scholer, Kligenthal/Sachsen. The pistol still retains the original red brown grips, wartime finish on the metal and has not been refinished or reissued postwar. The flare pistol is fitted with a single piece hammer and is reinforced above the grip. The serial is 019072. The best example I’ve ever owned.

Note!
These flare guns are legal and free to own without permit in the Netherlands for everyone over 18 years of age. Please conduct your local laws before purchasing this product. I can only ship this item within the Netherlands.

Rare original early Heer cavalry Y-straps. Factory converted lightweight Y-straps with aluminum hardware. Hard to find original cavalry Y-straps with D-rings on the back for the Packtasche.

Very nice original lightbrown bakelite soap box marked Seife. Very nice choice example that is a basic component in every Sanitätertasche.

Nice original Hardshell P38 holster in good used condition marked DKK 43 indicating production by Friedrich Offermann u. Söhne, Lederwarenfabrik, Bensberg. 

A nice original combat worn and textbook Splittertarn cover in good used condition. The cover is photographed on a size 62 helmet shell but a size 64 would also fit. These helmet covers where issued to a lot of different units later in the war but one of the most prominent early adaptors was the Grossdeutschland division. Scarce to find helmet cover that retains loads of character and is in great condition!

Nice original tabbed Heer belt buckle marked G. Osang Dresden 1941. Still has up to 95% of its original factory paint and originally sewn leather tab.

Nice original Wehrmacht issue sewing kit in Grünmeliert cloth pouch. A nice original item that is more often found as a fake then a original. Choice personal item!

Minty black bayonet frog marked RFNR. 0/0494/0008. Perfect match to a late war mint bayonet!

Very nice original Infantry assault badge marked MK in triangle which is a unknown maker. Textbook functioning crimped ball hinge pin and catch.
