Waffen SS

A original German army issue blanket. These blankets where issued and used members of the Heer and Waffen-SS. The importance of blankets in a war is very underestimated and where more then often the only comfort a soldier would have.

This blanket is in used condition, it has a rip and the ends are fraying a bit. None the less, this is a original Wehrmacht issue blanket that would be perfect for a personal effects display and very nice correctly folded or strapped onto a Tornister or Rucksack!

Nice pre war example with supple leather and aluminum hardware and dated 1939. Hard to find a pre war example!

Rare late war Heer/Luftwaffe M31 Zeltbahn in Splittertarn camouflage. The Zeltbahn is a textbook late war single grommet example but with some nice details. One of the sides is printed with bleeding colours and there is a piece of Sumpftarnmuster used in the manufacture in the Zeltbahn. I’ve never seen a Zeltbahn with partial Sumpftarn manufacture. The Zeltbahn retains most of its originally sewn buttons. All colours are strong and vibrant. No serious damages or repairs to the garment. A rare and one of a kind late war Zeltbahn in very good condition!

A nice bayonet marked 44 fnj indicating production by Alexander Coppel GmbH (aka Alcoso), Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 1396 M and has nice red bakelite grips. The bayonet is in unsharpened and matching (!) condition.

A very nice and typical mid to late war example in very nice brightly coloured material. The colours are strong and vibrant and would be a very nice back drop for a collection or a late war mannequin. The Zeltbahn retains most if not all factory sewn buttons. Very nice Zeltbahn!

Typical beaded M42 helmet as issued to police, factory guards or Luftschutz. The helmet retains most of its original factory paint and its typical civic lightweight liner and phenolic chinstrap. The helmet is a typical example of a NS produced beaded M42 helmet.

Nice original German helmet liner marked 1943 for a size 66 helmet shell in the large head size 59!

A steel Heer belt buckle marked RZM M4/44 indicating production by Paul Cramer & Co., Lüdenscheid retaining up to 95% of its original factory paint. Hard to find RZM marked Heer buckle.

Pre war MG13 magazine box in original pre war factory camouflage pattern. Very nice bright and vibrant camouflage pattern that still retains up to 95%.

A leather pouch for the K98 grenade launcher with its original sling. Nicely marked dkk 42 indicating production by Friedrich Offermann u. Söhne, Lederwarenfabrik, Bensberg. 

Nice original German helmet liner marked Schuberth for a size 62 helmet shell.

A stunning M42 canteen marked SMM45 indicating production by Süddeutsche Metallwarenfabrik, Mussbach. The canteen is unissued and would be very hard to upgrade. 1945 dated items are very rare!

Rare late war breadbag with riveted front straps in mint condition. Stunning late war variant that belongs in any specialized equipment collection!

Textbook late war MG34 and MG42 ammunition box marked bzl indicating production by Friedr. Siemens-Werke. The case is in very good condition retaining up to 95% of the factory paint that would be very hard to upgrade!

Late war Presstoff made equipment in very good unissued condition. The belt is marked size 90.

Superb mint 1933 dated compass by Emil Bush, Rathenow with its rare original sling.

Nice original black bakelite Dienstglas case.

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!

Textbook Wehrmacht issue blanket. The blanket has a acceptance stamp for a Hauptverbandplatz.

Very nice original US M3 binoculars with its original case. The binoculars are in good, usable condition.
