Waffen SS

Original EU-Deactivated MP43 assault gun, deactivated to the current eu specifications, legal to own within the European Union; a piece from my personal collection!

Rare EU deactivated MP43 marked qlv / cos indicating production by AYF or Erma. The MP43 is the model produced before the MP44 and STG-44. The MP43 is a typical late war product with several parts manufactured in the Merze Werke and the Erma Werke. This is a typical late war feature and it results in the typical multi tone finish on the MP43. Hence the different finishes on the gun which are typical for a late piece like this. The MP43 has no moving parts except for the action cover, fire select switch and its safety. It comes with its original leather sling. A nice and rare to find piece that would be very hard to replace!

Interesting 1944 dated ff33 field phone which features steel hardware finished with unusual mat green and  paint. The FF33 is marked prx 1944 which indicates production by Heliowatt Elektrizitäts AG, Werk Schweidnitz/Schlesien. It is also features an white coloured ink stamp “ark” which is an abbreviation for Arktisch which indicates the field telephone is designed so it can be used arctic climates. The overall design of the field phone is a late war variant, unusual paint and bakelite connection points for outgoing lines which were pre 1944 still made out of metal. A truly rare late war field phone in used but good condition!

Note: The field phone appears to be in good shape and is complete with all the necessary parts to use it including the battery box which is mostly broken or missing. I have not opened or tested the field phone!

Textbook boxed USAAF goggles in complete condition. The goggles are still in their original box and have the original yellow tinted lenses. There is a glued repair to the elastic headband which is hardly noticeable. Excellent piece in good used condition!

Attractive Wehrpass to Otto K, serving in Infanterie Regiment 22 and later Grenadier Regiment 405. He has several interesting entries such as the battle for Leningrad. He was killed in action 26.1.11944 in Ljuban which is a district in Leningrad. It would be a great piece for further investigation!

Luftwaffe embroidered cap eagle in very good condition.

Excellent custom painted display mannequin head, handpainted and signed by the Dutch artist Roel. The head has very nice painted eyes which are really lifelike.

US Gasmask bag in good used condition

US Lightweight Gasmask in good used condition.

Rare bakelite seat for the Flakvierling in very good condition. The bottom still retains its original period tan camouflage paint. Maker marked in the centre; a very nice restoration piece that would be very hard to find as a spare!

Rare SS-VT K98 ammunition pouch marked VA 401/37 SS in good used condition. Very hard to find original SS-Verfügungsabteilung pouch!

Rare, minty Waffen-SS visor skull known as the Deschler-variant. This is a excellent, unissued example with typical silver finish over its tombac base. The silver finish or frosting still retains up to 99% of its original factory finish. Both of its prongs firmly attached to the piece! Really a hard to upgrade skull in perfect condition!

Unissued, late war Waffen-SS Charkov winter parka. The parka is a large size 2 which fits most if not all mannequins. The parka is mint but at some point had it’s fur lining removed. The lining for the sleeves and pockets are unmodified. The drawstring is still present in the hood which is often removed.

Beautiful field blouse for a Oberleutnant der Artillerie. This blouse started its life as a enlisted mens example that was period tailored by a skilled tailor. The garment retains its period applied insignia and is a very nice display tunic in a medium size.

US army leggings dismounted M-1938 ID’ed K-7959 size 2R, a nice matching pair with ID which could be further researched!

A very rare pair of original USMC HBT pants in unissued condition. These USMC P-44 utility or ‘Monkey’ pants. These trousers have three large cargo pockets allowing a large amount of storage on the side and back of the trousers. The large back pocket was cumbersome and often removed. There is one missing button on the side pocket. None the less; a very rare pair of trousers which are harder to obtain then M-1942 paratrooper trousers!
