Original German militaria

A very nice original War Merit Cross first class without swords or Kriegsverdienstkreuz ohne Schwerter first class by Julius Bauer.

Exceptional example of a Heer EM/NCO belt and buckle marked C.W. Motz & CO. 1941 Brandenburg. The buckle retains up to 99% of its original wartime paint and would be very hard to upgrade!

Rare early pattern knit winter hood. Issued together with the typical ringed knit gloves. These hoods are the typical early winter hoods prior to the later tube Schauschal. One of the rarest winter garment pieces to find!

Nice original MG34 anti-aircraft spider sight that is a basic component in any MG pouch. Hard to find spare!

A very nice original wound badge or Verwundetenabzeichen im Silber. 

Nice original MG34 and MG42 wrench marked bhm indicating production by Gustav Auerswald, Besteckfabrik, Grünhain/Sa. This tool is a basic component in the MG tool kit.

A very nice original Demjansk campaign shield. Backed on field grey uniform wool indicating wear for troops of the Heer and Waffen-SS. The shield is in very good, unissued condition with 95% of the original finish remaining. One of the better ones I’ve seen!

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. 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 to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!

A very nice and rare Telo Mimetico camouflage M31 Zeltbahn as issued to Heer and Waffen-SS units. The Zeltbahn is in good used condition and has two period repairs with Waffen-SS Oak-B camouflage fabric. A very rare Zeltbahn!

Nice original NCO flatwire breast eagle. Officially meant for wear with the Waffenrock this eagle is often encountered on NCO tunics.

A great pair of original shoulder boards for a Oberleutnant in Infanterie Regiment 119. 

Photograph showing members of the RAD standing around a field grave of a Polish soldier with a helmet with bullet hole. Nice large 11,5 x 8,5 cm size.

Death card of the Obergefreiter Maximilian koller. Killed in action during operation Nordwind at 21 years old on 7th of January 1945 in Althorn b. Saargemünd. Koller is buried in Andilly, France.

A nice set of original Zeltbahn accessories. Exactly the amount as was issued to every soldier with a single M31 Zeltbahn.

Rare brown Daimon 2262L flashlight in very good condition. This is a very rare type of torch with its original leather strap.

A stunning mint equipment belt marked Franz Brehme Walsrode 1940 with aluminum buckle. Best 1940 dated belt I’ve had to offer!

A nice and typical mid to late war Gefreiter chevron with subdued Tresse.

Stunning, perfect and rare metal Zeiler 4359M torch in its original factory box. The 4359M is a variant on the normally bakelite Zeiler 4350. First time I’ve found this one and I doubt I’d find another any time soon!
