Waffen SS

A rare pair of French prewar Y-straps reworked for use in the Wehrmacht. These Y-straps can sometimes be seen on original pictures, easily identified through the riveted ends near the O-ring on the back. These Y-straps are rare to find in very good condition like this.

A rare pair in very good condition, a great addition for the specialized equipment collector!

Original FF33 field phone sling in used and somewhat stiff but displayable condition. Pre war example dated 1937.

Original Splittertarn camouflage parka in good used condition. Textbook example with many depot style repairs with nice and vibrant colours.

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

Late war Heer Splittertarn Zeltbahn which is produced in the rare open weave pattern. The Zeltbahn shows some overall wear but the condition is still good with nice vibrant colours. The Zeltbahn still retains a lot of its originally applied steel stamped buttons. This example is nicely marked with an unreadable RBNr.

Beautiful example of a M39 Tornister with the short hooks which were designed to wear in combination with the Y-straps. The front part of a pair of Y-straps attached to the Tornister. This composition of a Tornister and the front part of an Y-strap is period and seems to be used as it is! Beautifully marked WERSA 1940, München on the leather part on the back. The part of the Y-strap is nicely maker marked and dated 1941.

A mint late war M44 Sturmgepäck. This rucksack is in very good condition and would be a nice addition to any equipment collection. The brown leather is in good supple condition and dated 1943 on the back.

Nice original Luftwaffe rucksack in good used condition.

Rare late war Sanitäter rucksack marked Bollmann Tuttlingen 1943. Nicely named H Josinski on the D-ring base. The rucksack is complete with the period factory sewn Red Cross insignia. Extremely scarce piece in very good, lightly worn condition!

US M1943 field jacket in very good, lightly worn condition with period Technical Sergeant insignia. Textbook early example with Khaki colored bias material in the size 38R.

Textbook untouched M18 Heer reissue helmet in good as found condition. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and period applied Heer decal up to 90%.

A nice original lantern complete with all the shades and without any serious bakelite damages. Rare to find one in good condition!

Stunning and extremely rare carrying case for the 6×30 bakelite binoculars executed in black and tan(!) Pressstoff. The case is marked CXN 4 indicating production by Emil Busch. The case was sent home at the end of the war by a US soldier who noted his details to the top. This is the pinnacle of collecting Ersatz and surely one of the most sought after pieces in equipment!

Textbook pre war reinforced breadbag strap marked Forker.

Textbook original Waffen-SS Totenkopf collar tab, typical Dachau type construction in mint condition.

Original German-English pocket dictionary in good condition. The small dictionary is not dated judging by the style and word choice it is made between 1914 and 1945.

Small document and belt grouping to Panzergrenadier Ernst Rügger, with Erkennungsmarke reading Panzergrenadier. Pionier Ersatz und Ausbildungskompanie 25. The belt is a wartime modified example with two big fat rivets which is also clearly pictured in his portrait. The group also contains his Arbeitsbuch and a number of Feldpost letters. The belt itself is marked De Heus which probably is a Flemish or Dutch maker. The group would be a nice base for further research!

Mint pre war M31 canteen cup marked L&SL38 indicating production by Linnepe & Schiffer, Lüdenscheid. The cup is in perfect unissued condition complete with the factory wrapper. Impossible to find as a spare if you’re after this specific marking!
