Waffen SS

Original rare and untouched MG42 barrel carrier or Laufschützer 42 marked WA43 indicating production by an unknown maker. The barrel carrier is a textbook example for the MG42 barrel and comes with the factory attached sling and up to 85% of its original tan factory paint. The barrel carrier features a white painted number which most likely matched with the MG42 itself! These barrel carriers are hard to find in original untouched condition as most of them wound up being repainted and reissued postwar. Hard to upgrade untouched piece!

Panzer 10×50 Dienstglas in good working condition complete with its original strap. The binoculars are in good usable and adjustable condition with the Strichplatte in place in the right eyepiece. Hard to find set!

Excellent late war optical sight battery box intended for the MGZ or similar optics. This is a typical late war produced example with steel painted D-ring in stead of a pulling tab out of fabric. The case is finished in tan factory paint which retains up to 99%. The cloth protective cloth and the bakelite housing are undamaged and complete. Very nice example!

Nice set of 2 matching equipment straps in mint condition. Both straps are marked with RBNr. 0/0750/0072 and are in completely matching condition. Excellent matching set of RBNr. marked straps in great condition which would look perfect on a mannequin!

Textbook late war Luftwaffe breadbag in near mint condition.

Textbook Heer tropical breadbag in near mint condition, nicely marked with most likely owners initials “ET”.

A rare ammunition pouch marked RME 43. This pouch did not come from the hoard find of G43 / K43 pouches that flooded the market. Original G43 pouches that do not come from the Ukranian army stock are rare! The pouch is in very good condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

Rare pre war belt buckle by Friedrich Keller. The buckle is in worn condition with typical catch as can be observed by early HJ and DJ buckles by Friedrich Keller. The buckle is a rare variant, a first for me that would be a nice addition to any buckle collection!

Excellent example of a simplified late war leather K98 bayonet frog which are known under the designations M42 frog or Skeleton frog as well. The closing strap is nicely made out of pebbled leather which is a nice detail. Overall great and most likely unissued condition. Only the closing strap has a few tears but is still functional.

Very nice and rare unissued black webbing equipment belt intended for usage by the DJ (Deutsches Jungvolk) and HJ (Hitlerjugend). This belt has an overall unusual construction with the usage of black coloured webbing. The catch is nicely marked RZM M4/22. The belt still remains its original paper RZM tag which has been attached to the tongue. A very rare and must have belt for the specialized belt/buckle or HJ collector!

Unissued bakelite black out cover or Abblendkappe as used on the Truppenfahrrad. These covers are almost always missing or broken. This example is coming straight out of it’s original factory box. The cover is in close to mint condition with only some white paint missing!

Note: the manual and the factory box are shown for illustration purposes only and are not included in this sale!

Aluminium ID disc or Erkennungsmarke marked 5./ I.R. 274. which indicates 5e Kompanie Infanterie Regiment 274. This regiment was part of 94 Infanterie Division which took part in the Westfeldzug (Luxemburg & France) & Ostfeldzug (Russia). The unit was later renamed to Grenadier Regiment 274 and saw action in Italy. This unit was encircled in Stalingrad, where this tag was found!

Typical wartime “Knijpkat” torch. These flashlights where made utilizing forced labour from Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch. Unlike most of the wartime used flashlights the “knijpkat” doesn’t have a battery but uses a small internal dynamo. The mechanism is still in great condition and the torch still works!

US Colt 1911 magazine pouch marked M.E.C.1943 British made.

Rare original 80 page long US manual; Don’t get killed by mines and booby traps. This pamphlet was issued due to the many boobytraps and mines used by Japanese and German forces during world war two. It illustrates most if not all explosives commonly used by the axis forces.

Neat original pocket edition Checkers game. These small and popular games were used by the troops to overcome the often long waits on and behind the front. Produced by Wm. F. Drueke & Sons. Nice personal item in good and complete condition!

Deathcard to Obergefreiter Alois Basten, KIA 25.2.1945 in Venray, Holland. He is buried in Ysselsteyn.
