Waffen SS

Nice original early manufactured M31 Zeltbahn in Splittertarn camouflage. This is a typical early example with aluminium hardware and this example is also nicely dated 1939, sadly the manufacture is unreadable. The Zeltbahn is in overall good condition but has some stains and minor holes. Nice 1939 dated example!

Textbook Heer tropical officers belt in very good condition. The belt retains its buckle with 95% of its factory paint. The belt is maker marked but hard to read. Rare tropical brocade belt!

Excellent Dot 44 or Erbsentarn camouflage HBT combat trousers. A interesting and uncommon feature is the fact that the trousers are printed on the reverse side of the Drillich material indicating most probable production by Betriebswerk Ravensbrück (Texled). The trousers are in combat worn condition with visible use. The size is medium and good for most modern mannequins. The trousers have some markings indicating they were once part of a museum or costume house collection. Clearly original Waffen-SS camouflage trousers in combat worn condition which in fact is harder to find then a unissued example!

Textbook early steel MG34 ammunition case in very good condition. The case retains up to 90% of its factory finish and all of its handle reinforcements. Excellent piece that would be very hard to upgrade!

Nice original M38 gasmask in a short gasmask canister which has been roughly overpainted. Luckily they didn’t repaint the bottom of the canister because this shows a beautiful set of ink markings: L.S.: Luftschütz and R.L.M.: Reichsluftfahrtministerium. Nice and interesting gasmask which would be nice for a research project!

Rare original complete Kriegsmarine carbon monoxide testing device or CO-Anzeiger manufactured by Auer. The device seems to be complete and is in overall very good condition. The lid shows a nice tag which names the devices and also shows the serial number: Fabr. Nr. 6472. These devices were used by U-boat personnel and were indispensable because it protected the crew for carbon monoxide poisoning! This is the first time that I have encountered this device, nice and rare Kriegsmarine piece of equipment!

Nice original US Wool shirt in very good condition.

Rare original US army manual for 75-MM Sherman tank guns M2 and M3 and mounts M1, M34 and M34A1. The manual is complete and in very good unissued condition. A very rare manual that is a nice addition to any tanker display!

Textbook USMC canteen with depot made cover. The canteen cover is unit marked 644 indicating the 4th Marine Division. Rare example!

M1926 French Adrian medical helmet in very good condition with period painted Red Cross.

M1926 French Adrian helmet for Police de Vichy which was the police force during the German occupation of France.

Textbook Heer single decal M40 helmet marked Q64 indicating production by Quist. The helmet is a textbook Heer M40 example with its textbook Bigfoot decal and finish retaining up to 90%. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and partial chinstrap. The helmet came straight out of a household clearing in Denmark and has never been in a collection before!

Tall pre war issue jackboots or Knobelbecher in very good condition. The boots are a good large size 28 and are manufactured in unblackened, light coloured leather. The boots retain their original pull straps, soles, hardware and stitching. The top of the boots retain their period unit markings. A spectacular pair of boots that would be perfect for a mannequin display!

Very rare Dutch/Germanic SS collar tab from “Standaard II” which was from the Gelderland and Overijssel area with the headquarters in Arnhem. On paper these “Standaard” units consisted of at least 1500 men, but in reality due to the constant flow off SS-men to the Waffen-SS, a “Standaard” unit only consisted of approximately 130 men. This indicates how very rare these collar tabs are! This collar tab was for the ranks “SS-Maat” (SS-Schütze) to “Hoofschaarleider” (Hauptscharführer). The collar tab is in an outstanding condition, and still retains its original RZM label on the back. This is the first one I have ever encountered and had the pleasure to offer!

A tan vinyl K43/G43 magazine pouch. This pouch is marked ros 1944 which indicates production by E. G. Leuner, Bautzen in 1944. A nice K43/G43 pouch in very good unissued condition!
