Waffen SS

A nice original Reibert manual. These manuals where private issue in the 1940’s and a very popular item. These manuals are very thorough and they talk over every single aspect the German soldier was taught in. The book contains German history, Drills, Mannerisms, squad formations, weapons handling, shooting and maintenance, airplane recognition, horse riding, ranks, how to behave/write/talk, heavy weapons and so on and so on.

They where brought out in different versions, this one being the variant for the “Schützen der Schützenkompanie” or simply riflemen. The manual counts 332 pages and is in readable condition.

Beautifully decorated M31 messkit from Valentin Muravsky, most probably released in 1953. Although, most probably postwar worn; this example is a classical time capsule worthy of further research!

Excellent straight E-tool in very good used condition. The E-tool features a makers logo depicting a lion which is unknown to me. Nice clean example in very good condition that is quite hard to obtain nowadays.

Excellent pre war Polizei issue M31 breadbag which is easily recognizable by the colour of the fabric. Textbook pre war example with high quality fabric, aluminium hardware and leather reinforcements on the belt loops. The breadbag is nicely marked Po 1939 and seems to be named but this is sadly not clearly readable. Very nice example!

Rare Waffen-SS belt buckle marked SS 36/42 RZM indicating production by Overhoff. Hard to find buckle in strong used condition.

Textbook M40 double decal Polizei helmet marked Q62 indicating production by Quist. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and period chinstrap. Externally it features up to 85% of its factory paint and decals. The helmet is a nice and textbook example!

Textbook Imperial M18 helmet with factory installed liner and chinstrap in very good condition. The helmet retains its original handpainted Iron Cross to the front of the shell which probably is a period tactical marking. Very hard to upgrade and intriguing helmet!

Textbook Luftwaffe bullion breast eagle in very good condition.

US HBT jacket with period applied stenciled ranks and ID’ed B-2944 which could be a good base for further research!

Interesting early M31 canteen which has been turned into an art piece. Sadly the cup and flask aren’t matching but they seem to be together for a long time! Interesting is the HRE 1935(!) marked flask which indicates production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen in 1935. The aluminium flask itself is simply changed into a colorful art piece! The design is very interesting and colorful. The art piece is dated 7-2-1946 and marked “Emlék Salzburgból” which is Hungarian and would translate to “Memorial from Salzburg”. Most likely done by a Hungarian POW (prisoner of war).

Original Dutch Germaansche SS-Vormingsbladen in very good condition.

Textbook US Navy deck jacket in good, untouched condition. The jacket is named 3 times and comes in the big size 40 which is a perfect mannequin size.

A nice photo album for a soldier serving in Infanterie Regiment 65 part of the 22 Luftlande division who took part in the invasion of the Netherlands in 1940. The album has many interesting photos including with glider landings, heavy MG’s, Mortars and other accompanying documents. A very nice and complete album which would be a great base for further research!
