Waffen SS

Excellent and rare first world war period Adrian helmet with period attached insignia for Infantry and Navy straight from the Woodwork in Saint–Lô, Normandy. This helmet survived not one but two wars and was found with 5 other helmets in a farm in Saint–Lô by myself, 5.6.2021. Excellent example in original blue paint with original partial liner and chinstrap. The Infantry and Navy helmets of this Adrian range of helmets is one of the rarest branches to find and this example has never been in a collection before!

Matching and unissued late war M43 pattern NCO shoulderstraps for Heer (army) Unteroffizier der Nachrichtentruppe. Rare late war shoulderstraps that would be hard to upgrade!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, close to mint and most likely unissued condition. Notice how this Y-strap has green painted hooks where the rest of the hardware is bare metal, the placing of the marking is rarely seen as well! The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0156/0030 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Late war 4-panel construction Zeltbahn executed in the extremely rare Reduced Splittertarn pattern. The zeltbahn is in very good, light used condition and has no tears or any other significant damages.  The Zeltbahn retains its original ropes (strings), grommets and only one or two factory applied resin buttons. The Zeltbahn is nicely marked with an ink stamp that reads R.B.Nr. 0/1264/0001. Very nice late war 4-panel construction Zeltbahn executed in the extremely rare Reduced Splittertarn pattern in good condition!

Nice and desirable straight Italian E-tool complete with its converted folding E-tool carrier. This set is consisting out of an Italian produced shovel which were widely re-issued to the German troops and a folding E-tool carrier which has been converted to carry the straight Italian E-tool. The converted E-tool carrier is nicely marked “dta 42″ which indicates production by A. Waldhausen, Jnh. M. Bruchmann, Sattlerwaren- u. Kofferfabrik, Köln, Johannisstr. 65 – 67. Textbook way of converting equipment to make it useful and wearable!

I included 3 original wartime photographs which show these converted folding E-tool carriers being used.

Excellent and matching set of Waffen-SS reversible Erbsentarn mittens which should have been issued with the parka and trousers (Winteranzug).

Hard to find pair!
