Original German militaria

Pioneer saw in black Pressstoff cover marked fuq 1944. The saw is in good used condition but has its belt and bayonet loops cut off at some point. Still a good piece for spare parts or display as is!

Textbook Tall M38 gasmask named to Hildegard Schaffner who served in a Flakscheinwerfer Abteilung. The gasmask, its straps and the canister are all named with tags and painted writing. The Feldpostnummer on the canister and strap refer to the following units, stationed in Darmstadt until the end of the war.

09061
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) 3. Batterie
Reserve-Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 129
(12.7.1941-26.1.1942) 3. Batterie Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 129
(1.8.1943-23.3.1944) 3.8.1943 3. Batterie
Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 129 (o).

It’s very hard to find a gasmask attributable to female personnel ánd is a base for further research!

US M-1917 helmet in very good used condition. The helmet retains its factory paint up to 90% and its original wartime applied liner. The liner retains a ASN which could be a good base for further research!

US M1 Front seam swivel bale helmet with Westinghouse liner. The helmet retains its factory cork finish up to 95% and would be very hard to upgrade. The liner has green painted A-washers and a green painted chinstrap buckle. Excellent mid to late war helmet in very good, minty condition!

Textbook US Mapcase marked Hoff 42 in very good condition. Complete with its clear insert which has a separate fold over, the clear plastic still retains period pencil markings!

Complete US Canteen in good condition. The flask and cup are both dated 1945, the cover is dated 1942.

US canteen cover in good used condition. Hard to read the markings.

Textbook Heer EM/NCO sidecap in worn condition. The sidecap retains its original partially resewn insignia, is dated 1941 and a size 56. Textbook example!

Black rubber Auer Neopan dust goggles in good used condition. Typical issue dust goggles which are a great attribute to any helmet or mannequin!

USAAF B-4 flight bag which is like a portable wardrobe and can contain several garments such as ‘best dress’ uniforms which needed to be kept tidy. There are two damages to the zippers which are pictured but the zippers are in working condition. The handle features a tag ID’ed to the veteran who served in the 38th Bomb group. During World War II the 38th Bomb Group was a medium bombardment group operating in the Southwest Pacific Area (SWPA) as a B-25 Mitchell unit assigned to Fifth Air Force.

A excellent M42 Kochgeschirr marked ESB 43 indicating production by Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin. The messkit is painted red oxide covered externally in olive paint. The messkit retains up to 95% of its original  finish. Excellent example which is in my opinion unissued!

Excellent and rare highlight pencils or Krokierstiften by Schwan-Bleistift-Fabrik (Stabilo) in very good condition. These sets of pencils were very popular among officers and NCO’s and other troops which worked with maps. Easy to keep with you and perfect to clarify and mark maps! The cardboard case is still in good condition and the labels are still largely readable. The label clearly reads: “Schwan-Krokier-Etuis“. Belongs in any map-case collection!

US haversack tail in good used condition.

US haversack marked BOYT 43 in good used condition.

Perfect early Luftwaffe ensemble in perfect condition. The set consists of a Fliegerbluse and straight trousers in mint condition. They are both in perfect; untouched condition. I can not spot any damages, repairs, stains or moth damage. There is a mere shadow to the photos because my lens was damaged and can not be seen in real life. All insignia is wartime applied. The breast eagle is applied with a beautiful and textbook T-stitch which is uncommon. The piping around the collar is wartime applied and firm. The set is in a good medium mannequin size and would be impossible to upgrade. The set comes from estate of a former Fallschirmjäger and was originally found with this sidecap ! 

Untouched, as found Heer M36 EM Field blouse for a Obergefreiter der Jägertruppen. The field blouse is not shortened and retains its wartime applied insignia. The shoulderstraps are typical privately purchased Jäger examples and are original to the garment. There is one missing button on the chest and there is moth damage to the back and sleeves; otherwise its a great display tunic which would greatly attribute to any Jäger or Gebirgsjäger focussed collection!

Original Helios issue wristwatch or Dienstuhr in good condition. The watch is adjustable but I cannot its function to be exact. The strap is a not the issue example but shows the same wear as the piece itself.
