Waffen SS

Very nice Luftwaffe issued K98 bayonet frog. This example is a typical early/pre war Luftwaffe issue made out of chocolate brown leather with aluminium rivets and a LBA marking which is a specific Luftwaffe acceptance mark.

Textbook pre war Luftwaffe K98 pouch, most probably made by Gustav Sudbrock and dated 1938. There is one cut to the lower closing leather; otherwise in fine condition.

Textbook named Kragenbinde in good worn condition.

Textbook US M3 fighting knife in good used condition. The knife is marked M3 Camillus and comes with the typical US M8 scabbard.

Nice original leather Erkennungsmarke pouch in very good condition. Would be easily matched to a Erkennungsmarke in the same condition.

Excellent uniform grouping to Private Robert L. Taylor, T5. The grouping consists of his M1942 jump suit, his ike jacket, a set of tan leather gloves, the Saga of the 82nd Airborne division, trouser belt and a beanie cap. The items have been obtained directly from Taylor and come with a signed letter of provenance stating the source. Robert L. Taylor was a close friend to Bachenheimer who was a well known individual in the 82nd airborne division and they did many recon missions together. The group would be hard to upgrade and a perfect base for further research. I enclose a copy of his honorable discharge papers with more informations. He fought in Sicily, Normandy, Naples-Foggia, Rhineland, Rome-Arno, Central Europe and Ardennes – I am sure there is more to find on him!

Extensive US airborne grouping to Frank buczkowski, served in 550 Glider Infantry Regiment, 17th Airborne Division. He was taken prisoner in Germany. There are a whole number of period photographs, insignia and his named POW medal. The grouping is large and would be a nice base for further research!

Original world war two issue US medic Hypodermic in good condition.

Excellent insignia and souvenir grouping to Herbert A. Zickuhr, 326th Medical Co., 101st Airborne Division. The grouping consists of a 101st Patch, a sweatheart jumpwing bracelet, a British made(!) glider wing, a Volkssturm Armband, a German army sport shirt eagle, good conduct medal, a ruptured duck, first allied airborne patch, combined parachute and glider cap patch, a Bastogne Nutz brass remembrance plaque and a rare 101st Airborne enamel DI pin. The group also comes with two of his veteran garrison caps and a picture of himself. Nice and attributable grouping with potential for further research!

Rare US Parachute Infantry Garrison cap patch embroided on parachute silk.

Superb M44 breadbag with a beautiful mix of different materials. The breadbag is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0465/0012 which is is a less frequently encountered maker to spot on M44 bread bags. Stone mint example which is simply impossible to upgrade!

Matching issue tent pegs in unissued condition. The pegs are typical pressed wood construction encapsulated in bakelite. Every soldier was issued one pole, two pegs and one Zeltleine together with his Zeltbahn.

Nice original M31 breadbag in good used condition. This example is unmarked but features one brass button which originates from a Dutch pre breadbag. Nice original breadbag!

Textbook British Spike bayonet.

Excellent MGZ 40 case for the MG34 and MG42 Lafette optics complete with two of its tan painted optic filters. The case retains up to 85% of the factory applied Blaugrau paint and its original webbing straps. Excellent and rare MG42 accessory in choice condition!
