Wehrmacht

Bevevano E Mangiavano by my friend Giancarlo Persic is the best reference book for German wartime canteens and messkits. My friend Giancarlo is a lifetime collector who specializes in the M31 and M42 canteens and messkits. This book is a great reference with many if not all German canteen and messkit variants. He clearly shows side by side photographs for the smallest details that are hardly noticable but obnoxiously interesting for some die-hard collectors such as myself. Some of the canteens from my collection have been featured in the book and I’m thrilled to be able to offer this reference to my customers. I warmly recommend any specialized equipment collector this book; not just because of the vast amount of pictures but also for the background information that really makes it stand out to other reference works. The book is a sealed paperback in the English language with 332 pages and a vast amount of pictures surely to soothe the need of any novice or advanced collector looking to expand his or her library! Needless to say; this is a must have for any equipment collector!

A must have for every SOE or British collector; this revised book by Michael Side and Anders Thygesen compiles most if not all known SOE items. A reference of drop containers, weapons, explosives, manuals, communication devises and certain missions. The book is not openly available to the open market as it has been printed in a very limited run. I have 15 examples in stock and after those are sold it will be very hard to obtain a copy. The items showed in the book go beyond rare; most of them meant for one time use and destroy after only. Hence the rarity of these items in the book. A great reference book with great, in depth information!

Red K98 7,92x57mm training rounds or Exerzierpatronen. These hold no powder and are in no way shape or form able to be transformed to actual ammunition. They are made from a single piece of material and are not munitions. The red training rounds are quite hard to find. The price is naturally for one, I will always pick a nice example.

Due to the nature of the item I can not ship this item outside of Europe unless the buyer takes the risk.

A set of 10 empty steel 7,92x57mm casings. These 10 empty casings have been fired and are completely empty of any propellant or filled primers. These can not be reloaded; there are a few disformed and or have a rupture. The insides are corroded rendering these empty casings unusable for reloading. These are for collecting purposes only.These are great floor litter for a MG34 or MG42 display! The price is for 10 pieces, I have several similar sets.

Typical British and Canadian small mesh helmet nets as used by most if not all of the allied troops in the ETO. These helmet nets came out of storage and need to be stretched a bit before fitting to a US or MKII helmet. Hard to find and textbook world war two issue helmet net in unissued condition! I have 10 in stock and will pick out the best ones!

A very nice set of three unissued original helmet rivets with original factory paint. The pins are all marked D&C 1943. Enough for one helmet. I have three sets, all are in the same unissued condition.

A perfect mint set for a pre war Heer or Waffen-SS M36 or M40 tunic in aluminum. Hard to find spare set, especially in aluminum!
