Original German militaria

Rare late war Heer/Luftwaffe M31 Zeltbahn in Splittertarn camouflage. The Zeltbahn is a textbook late war single grommet example but with some nice details. One of the sides is printed with bleeding colours and there is a piece of Sumpftarnmuster used in the manufacture in the Zeltbahn. I’ve never seen a Zeltbahn with partial Sumpftarn manufacture. The Zeltbahn retains most of its originally sewn buttons. All colours are strong and vibrant. No serious damages or repairs to the garment. A rare and one of a kind late war Zeltbahn in very good condition!

A very nice 6×30 Dienstglas complete with strap marked ddx indicating production by Voigtlaender u. Sohn AG, Braunschweig. The binoculars are in good clear condition with the rangefinder or Strichplatte still retaining in the right reticle. A nice piece in good condition!

Very nice wartime pattern gasmask strap in a rayon/leather construction. Hard to find spare in good supple condition.

A very nice original pair of dust goggles in used condition. Textbook pair as seen on the two original photographs.  A nice pair of goggles to add to a helmet.

A nice black bakelite 6×30 binocular case in very good condition. The case is complete with all straps and is undamaged. Hard to find a better one and a rare model with the roundel on top!

A mint late war breadbag made out of captured rough cloth, most probably Russian! A very nice unusual breadbag in good unissued condition.

A very nice original ID’ed Ike jacket to Joseph J Rieser, ASN 33053172, 29th ID. The Ike jacket shows the original wartime sewn 29th ID insignia. Rieser was decorated with the Combat infantry badge, European Campaign Medal, Bronze Star Medal, Army of Occupation Medal. The garment was found together with the overseas cap which is equally marked with the laundry code to Rieser. Very nice display piece to a famous US infantry unit and a nice base for further research!

Very rare 1940 dated hand screened SS-Verfügungstruppe plane tree 2/2 Zeltbahn. The pre war plane tree pattern is in very good condition and retains most if not all of its originally sewn brown anodized buttons. The Zeltbahn is in untouched condition and shows multiple holes. The Zeltbahn is nicely marked Warei Zeltbahn D.R.P. 1940 and Warei Petent Reichert Walter Reichert Berlin NW 40. Rare pre war type SS-Verfügungstruppe Camouflage items are some of the rarest and most searched for items! Would be very hard to upgrade!

Rare late war M31 Splittertarn Zeltbahn with rotating button holes. This Zeltbahn was produced in a small experimental batch between May and July 1944.

One of the rarest Zeltbahns to find!

When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer or barrel carrier to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Every MG team had one or two spare barrels in spare barrel carriers with their field equipment. The MG34 barrel carrier is in very good condition with 95% of the original tan colour remaining. The carrier was once overpainted in blue grey over the original tan factory paint. The carrier is nicely marked beq 1943 indicating production by Framo-Werke G.m.b.H., Hainichen/Sachsen. The carrier is complete with its original LUX marked strap and in very good condition. One of the rarest spares to find for the MG34!
