Waffen SS

A nice original combat worn and textbook Splittertarn cover. The cover is photographed on a size 64 helmet shell. These helmet covers where issued to a lot of different units later in the war but one of the most prominent early adaptors was the Grossdeutschland division. Scarce to find a original Splittertarn helmet cover, especially in good worn condition!

Typical second model MKB42/MP44 magazine pouch in obviously combat worn condition. One of the first types of ammunition pouch to be produced for the MP44 constructed fully out of recycled materials. The leather and canvas on the pouch was recycled showing many old stitch holes. These pouches where worn by members of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS and a nice example where the troops at the famous Poteau ambush which wears exactly this type of pouch. The pouch is in used condition and has one of the side covers missing and a elongated rip in the material what looks like a shrapnel damage. The pouch is maker marked KKD 1944 and would make a great addition to a combat mannequin!

Beautiful and extremely scarce visor for the Zwarte Brigade or Dietsche Militie. The cap is a beautiful and mint example with period mounted Flemish made insignia. The Zwarte Brigade and Dietsche Militie was a militia under the VNV or Vlaamsch Nationaal Verbond was a Flemish collaboration organization. The material and insignia are textbook Flemish made examples with the typical pins on the cockade. Extremely scarce cap in mint condition that would be impossible to upgrade!

Beautiful and textbook Waffen-SS EM pattern sidecap in untouched condition with period sewn insignia. The cap is in good worn condition and comes in a small but typical wartime size around 55. Very rare to find a original Waffen-SS sidecap in the textbook banana shape, with false piping, a single line of stitching in the lining and the period sewn insignia! A nice cap with loads of character!

Excellent and large bronze bust of Adolf Hitler marked H.M. Ley indicating design by Hedwig Maria Ley. The bust comes with base plate but without the marble base itself which is often missing. The bust is in good, as found condition and originally stood in a undisclosed Belgian mayors office. The bust is a 28 cm tall life sized example which is rare as most are small variants. The artist Ley is one of the most sought after designs and is hard to obtain. Excellent bust depicting a infamous Austrian painter!

Striking battle damaged M35 sawdust camouflage helmet in untouched condition. The helmet is marked Q64 indicating production by Quist. The helmet retains up to 95% of its period applied wood chip camouflage paint. There is a bullet hole to the right side of the helmet, piercing the shell and tearing out the liner rivet and vent hole. The helmet is a striking example that would easily be a prime piece in any helmet collection!

Rare Heer Sturmgeschütz trousers in good worn condition. The trousers retain most of the nap in the wool and have a few restorations as pictured. Otherwise a very nice pair for a combat mannequin display!

If you have been looking for a matching M43 uniform here is your chance. A M43 field blouse with Keilhosen for a Oberfeldwebel der Infanterie. The tunic is in very good, lightly used condition complete with a whistle with cord, a set of shoulder straps and bandage in the pocket. The collar tabs and Unteroffizierstresse are machine applied. The breast eagle is handsewn. In my opinion all insignia are wartime sewn to the tunic!
The tunic is a nice large size fitting most mannequins easily. It has not been shortened or altered like many other tunics. The tunic has one or two small moth holes that have been repaired. The tunic is marked WB44 indicating the depot of Würzburg. It seems the tunic has hardly been worn and retains most of the nap in the wool!

The Keilhosen are equally a large mannequin size and are also marked WB44. They are in light worn condition and have a few moth holes. The trousers retain their original strings at the bottom and are a very good colour match to the tunic.

It is very hard to find a model, size, colour, and rank or branch appropriate matching set in a large size and good condition! This is the first time I see a tunic match with a pair of trousers and I’ll most probably regret selling this set from my collection!

Beautiful and textbook M35 Heer double decal helmet marked ET62 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmets a textbook pre war example with a factory fitted non-reinforced 1937 dated liner and its early chinstrap. The helmet is unit marked to 14./I.R.69 indicating 14. Kompanie Infanterie Regiment 69. The helmet retains both of its Heer decals up to 85% with minor scratch damage. The helmet is named to Sanitäts-Gefreiter Schuldt. The helmet is a very nice example of a named and unit marked early double decal helmet.

Rare and textbook single vertical Waffen-SS Totenkopf embroided collar tab. This example is in good, as found condition showing age to the skull but is otherwise unissued. The design of the skull is the typical for the RZM 308 ‘long bone’ pattern.
This one was bought by me, straight from the grandson of a Dutch resistance member who collected ‘souvenirs’ at the end of the war in and around the town of Breda. The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A textbook example that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!

A stunning and very rare Luftwaffe tropical belt, buckle and bayonet frog. downright impossible to find spare, let alone in a set. These where one of the first models of tropical issue equipment for the Luftwaffe and only produced in a short run. Very, very, very rare!

Textbook last ditch Dachau type Waffen-SS field cap in Gaberdine material. The cap was originally a US vet bring back and was brought to the SOS several years ago. The cap is of typical last ditch production as seen with items taken from the Dachau stock with the exposed Presstoff bill. The cap is in good worn condition with the right amount of patina. The cap retains a hand sewn Edelweiss and black trapezoid insignia that both share the same patina. The cap is a size 57 which is a perfect size for most modern and older mannequins. The cap is a really nice and dare example of a original Waffen-ss M43 field cap!

Incredible original German white helmet cover named Gefreiter Trekat. The cover is a superb and original period made example in good used condition with loads of character. The cover is photographed on a size 64 shell but can also be fitted to a larger shell. The cover is made out of two pieces of cotton, handsewn around the edge with reinforced apertures for the chinstrap. The cover is named and unit marked Gefreiter Trekat, 4./I.R. 24. indicating 4. Kompanie Grenadier-Regiment 24. This is a superb and very scarce opportunity to acquire a original white helmet cover for a winter display that would be impossible to upgrade.

Fully functional MG42 sustained fire tripod or Lafette, used for direct and indirect fire. The Lafette is a textbook wartime produced example using wartime parts. It’s a early variant marked fsu 1942 indicating production by Excelsior Fahrrad und Motorradwerk, Brandenburg. The Lafette was reissued post war in the Austrian army but still retains most if not all of its wartime components. The Lafette has been repainted; but a quick scratch test reveals that most probably you can reveal most of the original paint that’s still underneath! If you look at the second and third picture you can see what a piece of wood or plastic can do; you can easily clean off the post war paint without much hassle. A really easy restoration! The Lafette retains its original markings, the original Uberschiesstabel and a very low serial of 349 which is 13 numbers away from the earliest found example. This is a great example that would be a great base to clean to reveal its original finish; which is a rare feature to any Lafette!

PLEASE NOTE THAT ADDITIONAL POSTAGE FEES WILL BE CHARGED AFTER ORDERING due to the heavy weight. This will probably be an extra 50 euro for Europe, and 200 for outside of Europe. Pickup in our warehouse in Tampere, Finland is possible.

Textbook M35 Luftwaffe double decal helmet marked EF66 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original factory finish and decals. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and would be very hard to upgrade. Textbook example!

A absolutely stunning M40 Luftwaffe camouflage helmet. The helmet still retains its original liner, chinstrap and rivets. The helmet retains up to 95% of its original three-tone Normandy camouflage paint. The colours on the helmet are very vivid and come out way better in real life. Underneath the camouflage one can see the shape of the luftwaffe decal on the left side of the helmet. The leather in the liner is supple, the chinstrap is full length, a bit hard and slightly cracked underneath the buckle and marked Rahm Kampmann Wuppertal 1940 but most of all both original to the helmet. The helmet would be great for a mannequin or a  helmet display. Hard to upgrade honest Normandy camouflage helmet!
