Waffen SS

Nice original Waffen-SS BeVo enlisted mens runic collar tab in mint condition. Impossible to upgrade!

A nice original Waffen-SS belt buckle marked RZM 155/40 ᛋᛋ indicating production by Assmann & Sohne, Lüdenscheid. The buckle is marked under the prongs which was only done for a short period in 1940. This was the final and 4th type of Waffen-SS belt buckle by Assmann in 1940. The buckle is in good combat used condition.

US M1 Fixed bale helmet with MSA liner in very good condition. The helmet has the heat stamp 194B indicating production around mid 1942.

Complete set Kampfstoffproben in its original wooden box. Complete with the tweezers and spoon. These sets where used and issued alongside the yellow gas warning flags. The cased variant is hard to find, especially in this complete condition.

A near mint tan painted 6×30 Dienstglas or army issue binoculars. These where issued to all branches in the Wehrmacht. The binoculars retain their original tan paint up to 95% and can easily be graded near mint. The binoculars are marked DDX indicating production by Voigtlaender u. Sohn AG, Braunschweig. Extremely hard to find a pair with this amount of paint. The leather strap and rubber lens cover are original to the piece and have the textbook tan painted studs. Exceptional set!

A very nice hooded Heer M43 Wachmantel. The Wachmantel is a nice medium size. Many of these overcoats where issued and used a lot during the Ardennes offensive. The overcoat has a few moth holes here and there but shows only minimal use. It is a very nice M43 Wachmantel in very good condition!

A very nice late war Waffen-SS belt buckle marked RZM 155/40 ᛋᛋ  indicating production by Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid. A nice combat worn example of a original Waffen-SS belt buckle in its original finish!

Stunning untouched Luftwaffe field repaint gasmask canister complete with its originally attached straps and gascape. The gasmask and its case are nicely named and ID’ed to Franz Boeser with the Feldpost number 44960 indicating the following units; 44960
(30.7.1941-28.2.1942) Nachschub-Leitstelle der Luftwaffe Triest,
(8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 26.1.1944 Nachschub-Leitstelle der Luftwaffe
6/VII.

His unit was most likely disbanded in 1944 and reformed into a Felddivision. Franz Boeser is not listed on the Volksbund archive indicating he most probably survived the war. The typical green camouflage paint externally covering the gasmask surely indicates this. The canister is a great example of a typical Luftwaffe issued gasmask, complete with its untouched accessories which is very hard to find these days!

A nice pair of Gebirgsjäger boots in good used condition with a pair of original laces. The size is a nice average size, not too small or big. A nice pair to finish a mannequin with!

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 or barrel carrier to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Every MG team had one or two spare barrels in spare barrel carriers with their field equipment. The MG34 barrel carrier is in very good condition with 95% of the original tan colour remaining. The carrier was once overpainted in blue grey over the original tan factory paint. The carrier is nicely marked beq 1943 indicating production by Framo-Werke G.m.b.H., Hainichen/Sachsen. The carrier is complete with its original LUX marked strap and in very good condition. One of the rarest spares to find for the MG34!

A very nice original Laufschützer 43, a barrel carrier designed to carry both the MG34 and MG42 barrels. The barrel carrier comes with its originally attached sling in full length. The paint still retains up to 90% on this piece and it would be very hard to upgrade this piece. Most barrel carriers on the market have replaced slings, been repainted or even stripped and blued postwar. This one is a fully untouched late war example in very good original condition!

A very nice original PUMA combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser or officially; Infanteriemesser 42. The handle is made out of typical red speckled bakelite which is hard to capture in image but even more vibrant in hand. The knife is in good sharp condition and has been used and issued! Perfect combat mannequin accessorie!
