Waffen SS

Excellent set of early war production (1940) issue jackboots or Knöbelbecher in an aesthetic bright brown colour. The sole clearly shows the marking 40 which indicates that this matching pair of jackboots was produced in 1940. The boots are not or hardly worn and only show some minor traces of age, the boots are complete with all of its wartime applied metal hardware on both the soles. The boots retain their very nice bright brown colour which would look perfect on any mannequin. The issue jackboots come in a nice large size 29 1/2 which translates roughly to a modern European size 44+ which would easily fit most if not all modern mannequins! Excellent pair of textbook 1940 dated brown issued jackboots!

Excellent and good combat used Y-strap. Notice that the frontal hooks which are used on the construction are not normal, these hooks are normally only used on the back of the lightweight pattern Y-straps. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, close to mint and most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0485/0002 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent late war lightweight Y-strap which was intended for usage by the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Kavallerie (Heer) but later on saw usage by all branches of the German forces. This example is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0990/0204 which indicates a still unknown manufacturer. Excellent example in good used condition!

Excellent political/HJ (Hitlerjugend) canteen in good condition. The canteen is nicely marked RZM M/6/6/39 which indicates production in 1939. Notice the unusual and rare black coloured felt cover, black coloured covers are almost impossible to find in contrary to the dark blue or natural coloured examples. Nice example for the specialized canteen or Hitlerjugend collector!

 

Excellent headphones for usage with the field radios or dfh.f (Doppelfernhörer für Feldfunkgeräte). The headphones are in good condition and complete with the original cord, plug and the Erzatsmaterial band. The headphones are nicely marked SABA which indicates the manufacturer. Excellent example which would look great for a radio operators display!

Stunning photo album made by a unknown Kriegsberichter with 55 17,6 x 11,6cm large photographs depicting the Battle of Britain and the summer of 1940 in France. A number of photographs where shot around the German airbase in D’Audembert, south of Calais which was famous for housing Werner Molders and Adolf Galland. The album shows a number of Kriegsberichter and a grave of Kriegsberichter Man, KIA at Calais 2.9.1940. The album contains 55 original large format photographs. Some are known, but most are unpublished. Judging by the quality and size I believe these shots where all made by a professional Kriegsberichter and that this album was his personal example. The album is a stunning example with a lot of highly decorated Fighter Luftwaffe Aces such as Werner Molders and Adolf Galland. Personalities as Adolf Hitler, photos of aircraft, airbases, burning and crashing aircraft, the white cliffs of dover and many other interesting photos. This is for súre the best album I’ve ever had the chance to offer.

A very nice and unissued late war Gebirgsjäger anorak trousers (Windhose) marked RBNR size III. These reversible camouflage garments are waterproofed and meant for the Ski- und Gebirgsjäger. The garment is in a very nice and large size fitting all modern mannequins.

Very nice original privately tailored field blouse for a Spiess Hauptfeldwebel der Pioniertruppen. The garment is a beautiful period tailor made example fully made from Dutch army shelter quarter material. These shelter quarters are rare as is, and this is the first and only one I’ve seen made into a lightweight Heer tunic. The garment is in good, lightly worn condition with loads of character. Beautiful garment!

Nice original Heer M36 field blouse for a enlisted man in Nachrichtenabteilung 29. A nice original field blouse in good worn condition.

Original P40 pattern battledress in good worn condition. Typical wartime converted collar with added lining material. The garment has a few moth nips here and there and is nicely dated 1943 in size 9.

A killer pair of late war Gebirgsjäger lowboots in unissued condition. The pair is matching and complete with its original laces, original hobnails and cleats to the soles. This is a typical late war construction with as an interesting features the black white pulling straps, which are normally only encountered on early contraction low boots! These boots were especially designed for mountain troops but later in the war these were sometimes issued to Heer, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS units as well, simply perfect for a late war combat mannequin of any kind! For sure one of the best pairs I have ever offered!
