Original German militaria

A nice aluminum Heer belt buckle marked R. Sieper & Sohne Lüdenscheid 1938. The buckle still retains most of its factory green paint which is a rare attribute for these aluminum belt buckles. The buckle is easily graded near mint! A rare buckle in very good condition!

A nice unissued M42 helmet marked NS62 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The helmet retains its original liner. The helmet has no chinstrap, and most likely it was never fitted as it is unissued. The helmet retains up to 95% of its original field grey paint. If you are looking for a unissued M42 helmet, this is it.

A pebbled brown leather pouch for the K98 grenade launcher with its original sling. Nicely marked CXB 44 indicating production by Moll, Lederwarenfabrik, Goch, Rheinland. Incredibly rare piece; only a handful are known to exist in brown leather, this is the first one I’ve seen in pebbled leather and is most probably a unique piece!

Nice original set of Gebirgsjäger carrying strap connectors. These are virtually missing from most if not all Gebirgsjäger rucksacks and connect the carrying straps to the ammunition pouches.

A very nice late war 2cm Flak magazine pouch with a Kriegsmarine acceptance stamp.

Exceptional late war bayonet in unissued condition with a very nice Litzmannstadt made webbing frog. The bayonet is marked  42 asw indicating production by E. & F. Horster & Co. Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 0124 and has nice clean wooden grips. The bayonet is in very good minty and matching condition!

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!

Scarce and beautiful bleu webbing carrying strap for the Luftwaffe flare ammunition pouch.

Near mint original Waffen-SS reversible camouflage parka in oak-B camouflage. The parka retains most if not all originally sewn buttons of which those on the white side are marked SS-RZM. The garment is only lightly worn with some period repairs which I photographed. The garment is executed in a very nice bright and typical Waffen-SS Oak-B camouflage pattern. The garment is a nice large size 3 which will fit most if not all mannequins. A very nice garment that would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice aluminum Heer belt buckle marked Julius Kremp Lüdenscheid 1940. Hard to find maker in good condition!

Stunning mint Luftwaffe Fliegerbluse for a Gefreiter der Flak. The Fliegerbluse is a very nice example in mint condition with full wartime factory machine sewn insignia. A very nice garment that is impossible to upgrade!

Perfect pre war M31 messkit marked MN 37 indicating production by Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar (MENESA). The messkit retains its original factory paint up to 95% and would be near impossible to upgrade. Very hard to find such a early messkit!

A nice original Heer visor cap or Schirmmütze for a officer in a Aufklärungsabteilung. The cap is in good and worn condition with its original insignia and cord. The visor is firm to the cap as is the sweatband. A very nice and desirable Aufklärung visor cap!

A very nice matching k98 bayonet by Gebr.Heller, Marienthal 1940. It retains most of its original blueing and is unsharpened. The bayonet is in good uncleaned condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

A very nice pair of pre war goggles as issued to motorcyclists in the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. The goggles are with a nice set of lenses without cracks. The strap retains most of its elastic. These goggles are the finishing touch to a early war Kradmelder mannequin.

A nice mid to late war Heer / Waffen-SS breadbag in very good condition.

Very nice complete late war gasmask. The canister is in very good condition with most of its original paint. The straps are a nice matching set with a late war wire hook. The Gasmask is complete and in very good condition, hard to upgrade!

Rare leather A-frame strap in mint unissued condition. Hard to find spare for any A-frame! The strap is in good supple and unissued condition.

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!

A nice matching tropical canteen marked FSS 41  indicating production by Frenzel & Sachs, Schneeberg.
