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!

Excellent and large bronze bust of Adolf Hitler marked H.M. Ley indicating design by Hedwig Maria Ley. The bust comes with base plate but without the marble base itself which is often missing. The bust is in good, as found condition and originally stood in a undisclosed Belgian mayors office. The bust is a 28 cm tall life sized example which is rare as most are small variants. The artist Ley is one of the most sought after designs and is hard to obtain. Excellent bust depicting a infamous Austrian painter!

A very nice and unissued  late war Gebirgsjäger anorak Jacket (Windbluse) marked 1942 Carl Becker Koblenz Grösse II. 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.

Beautiful, untouched Heer field blouse for a Oberstleutnant in Infanterie Regiment 19 with Wiederholungsspange. The garment is in good, worn condition with period sewn insignia. The left breast pocket retains multiple period sewn award loops with award ghosting remaining. Infanterie regiment 19 played a vital role in the 1939 campaign pushing into Poland. The 10th of may 1940 it was the first unit to breach to Juliana Kanaal fortifications in the Netherlands and pushed onwards to the Scheldt. After the 1940 campaign it was sent to the eastern front and saw actions right until the end of the war. A stunning tunic in very good condition!

Excellent, field worn tunic for a Oberfeldwebel der Jägertruppen. The garment is in good, worn condition with loads of character. The breast eagle is period zig zag sewn through the lining. The collar is a period modification which were popular amongst NCO’s. The shoulderstraps are period privately purchase examples. The breast pocket retains its Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz that was period affixed. A nice garment with loads of character!

Rare original Tropical motorcyclists coat or Kradmantel marked Lago-München. The garment is in very good, light worn condition and would be hard to upgrade.

Excellent and rare first pattern tropical Heer pith helmet. The pith helmet is in good used condition and is complete with both metal decals and the original leather chinstrap. The pith helmet retains its factory installed liner and is a perfect example for the tropical front collector!

Pre war stone grey breeches in very good, lightly worn condition. Nice issue breeches which are nicely labelled on the inside!

Canadian battledress, as worn by a British soldier serving in the Corps of Royal Signals in the 7th Armoured Division. The jacket is in good, worn condition with wartime sewn insignia. The insignia consist of the flashes of the Corps of Royal Signals and the insignia for the 7th Armoured Division. Army Council Instruction 1207 dated 9.9.44 changed the wording from Royal Corps of Signals to Royal Signals which indicates the sewing of the insignia in September 1944 earliest.
Most probably this garment was worn by a radio operator or despatch rider.  The Canadian Battledresses were often worn by British troops as its quality wool was preferred over the British wool. The Battledress is a nice size 10 and would be hard to upgrade. Unlike many Battledresses on the market; this one shows character and actual field wear which would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice original Luftschutz gladiator type helmet in very good condition. The helmet retains its original factory applied liner and chinstrap. The original paint and decal still retains up to 90%!

Excellent original Belgian M1931 Adrian helmet with original liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a typical wartime used example with factory paint.
