Waffen SS

A scarce original Waffen-SS Tarnjacke drawstring. Typical flat woven rayon construction. Full length 150cm. Downright impossible spare to find that was used in all types of Waffen-SS Tarnjacken from pre war to 1945!

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 grey by the Norwegian army in 1950. This has painstakingly been removed revealing the full original finish. 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!

Mint pre war Dutch overcoat with unit tag sewn in the collar. The overcoat has been reissued in the German army and has as such received a set of German buttons. Otherwise it is unchanged and could really easily be converted back to the Dutch pre war specs with some buttons. The Dutch pre war overcoat in rough wool like this is one of the rarest pre war Dutch uniform items!

A nice textbook pair of pre war tall brown jackboots in good light worn condition. The soles retain all of their hobnails and steel heel pieces. Nice pair for a mannequin!

Nice first pattern folding E-tool with E-tool both maker marked and dated 1940. Nice unissued set that would be hard to upgrade!

A very nice original Tan Presstoff straight E-tool carrier marked cey 4 indicating production by Karl Budischovsky u. Soehne, Oesterreichische Lederindustrie AG, Vienna. The E-tool carrier retains its original straps in brown leather in good condition. Unlike many of these on the market today this one has no repairs or restorations!

A very nice US M1 helmet complete with its original paint, straps and liner. The helmet shell is nicely marked and the shape of the shell indicates production by McCord Radiator and Manufacturing Company of Detroit. The seam on the helmet shell is on the front and the bales are of the Fixed Bale type. The helmet liner is marked with a F indicating production by Firestone. A nice and honest M1 helmet in good condition.

Hard to find Italian pullover as issued and worn by many Waffen-SS and Heer troops. These turtleneck jumpers where very popular in 1944 and can be seen worn from June 1944 until the end of the war. The pullover is very stretchy and can easily be applied to most modern mannequins without hassle.

The helmet is overall in great, lightly worn condition and the name would be a nice base for further research. Very hard to find a US m1 helmet with a period applied helmet net!
