Waffen SS

Stunning and textbook M38 paratrooper or Fallschirmjäger helmet in the tell-tale sawdust two-tone camouflage pattern as used with the 6. Falschirmjäger Regiment. The helmet is marked ET71 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale with its factory placed size 60 liner with period attached chinstraps and its original bolts. The helmet was factory finished in feldgrau with a single decal which can still be seen underneath the paint. The helmet was camouflaged between April and June 1944 together with most of the regiments helmet which were all camouflaged in one batch. The helmet retains 90% of its wartime applied factory paint. The helmets liner is named to the partly readable Hau****** Flint and is marked Russland, Normandie and Holland indicating the original wearer of the helmet was a veteran of these campaigns. The 6. Fallschirmjäger Regiment was one of the most well known German paratrooper units during the war being stationed as a defensive force in Normandy prior to the invasion, fighting the 101st Airborne division, to retreat through Carentan, fighting around Geel, along Hells Highway during Market Garden, Woensdrecht and Hoogerheide and the Parachute drop during the Ardennes offensive. The helmet was originally found in the Netherlands and is a textbook and excellent example of a FJR6 camouflage helmet that would be very hard to upgrade and I wouldn’t mind to keep for my personal collection!

Stunning and one of a kind unissued A-frame or A-rahmen complete with all the original straps that have never been removed or repaired, untouched and unissued condition. This beautiful example is mainly constructed out of M36 tunic internal belt hook support straps and features beautiful bluegrey webbing straps! Faintly marked with an ink stamped RBNr. but sadly this is unreadable. Unique A-frame made out M36 tunic support straps and blue webbing straps which is the first time I have ever encountered this stunning and interesting construction. For sure one of the best A-frame I have ever seen and had the pleasure to offer, that would be very hard to be upgraded!

Textbook original tan Waffen-SS sleeve eagle in BeVo construction in typical unissued and stone mint condition. The back of the sleeve eagle still retains its original RZM label. Stunning unissued example!

Original set of period privately purchased gloves which were highly in demand by officers. These gloves are constructed out of a very thin but warm type of leather which would make it easy to use your hands even when wearing the gloves. The gloves are a medium to large size and would be great on a combat officers mannequin or for a personal item display!

Textbook long M38 asmask canister with periodically attached straps. The canister itself is nicely marked ebu 44 which indicates production by Eckhardt & Co., Fabrikerzeugung von Auto-gen u. Atemgeraete, Chotebor in 1944. The canister is beautifully named/personalized on the inside of the lid with red paint. The canister is named to (San.) Sanitäts (Gfr.) Gefreiter Steinwender. Stunning named/personalized canister without mask which would be perfect for display on a mannequin because the weight of an complete canister with gasmask would damage the straps on long terms!

Textbook mid to late war original German helmet chinstrap in used condition. Hard to find as a spare in used condition!

Original period large flashlight/torch made by the famous Daimon. The flashlight is in good condition with no real damages to the housing or glass parts at all. Beautiful period personal item in well used condition!

Beautiful slightly used Waffen-SS Zeltbahn in handscreened plane tree 1/2 camouflage with stunning strong and vivid colours. The Zeltbahn is made by Walter Reichert, Berlin NW40 “Warei” in 1943. The Zeltbahn retains all of it’s originally applied grommets and zinc buttons except for one. The Zeltbahn is double marked with a “Warei” patent stamp and the production stamp which is normal for this maker. Excellent 1943 dated Waffen-SS M31 Zeltbahn in plane tree 1/2 camouflage in slightly used and undamaged condition!

Stunning M38 gasmask made out of a very light coloured canvas instead of the standard dark green fabric. The metal parts are all nicely painted blue as usual for late war productions. Beautiful mask with filter which would be hard to upgrade!

Nice original Infantry assault badge in silver or Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber. Typical solid zinc example with textbook crimped setup by Deumer. 

Excellent tan painted 6×30 Dienstglas or army issue binoculars. These where issued to all branches in the Wehrmacht. The binoculars retain their original factory tan paint up to 95% and are in very good condition. The binoculars are marked cag indicating production by Swarovski. The right ocular still retains the Strichplatte. The leather strap is original to the binoculars and have black painted studs.

Nice original Proclamation calling all men over 18 for service in the Arbeitseinsatz. It was recently found hidden inside a diary, it still has a piece of this diary glued to it. This can easily be removed with steam or water. Or left as is.. A rare poster!
