Wehrmacht

Beautiful US Army HBT camouflage jacket. These jackets were issued with trousers to troops in Normandy as a trial with the second armored division. The Jacket is a nice large size 44R fitting most modern mannequins. The jacket has a nice white misprint inside which is a neat feature to any camouflage garment.

A huge flag measuring 2,3 x 1,1 meters in size. The flag was most probably brought back by a American soldier. These flags where one of the most popular bring backs in the time! The flag is in used condition with some small holes. The flag has a swastika sewn to both sides.

A nice pre war brown leather mapcase in a good used condition. The mapcase was maker marked but this is faded by the usage and is now unreadable. The design, material and hardware however all indicate this is a pre war example. The mapcase is nicely named with a purple coloured Kopiërstift which was often used to name or mark equipment but sadly it’s unreadable.

Nice original M38 gasmask together with its original canister marked Prestag 1941. The mask itself is a nice green canvas variant and the canister comes with its original periodically attached straps. The canister and mask both are in amazing condition and make a great close to mint set! The top of the canister features an ink stamp RLM which most likely indicates Reichsluftfahrtministerium, the ministry of aviation of German between 1936 and 1945. It is a excellent and beautiful example that would be hard to upgrade!

Nice and original M30 gasmask which has been produced by Auer and comes in the smallest size 1. The mask itself is dated 1938 and it is matched with a pre war 1936 dated filter, which both bear the same WaA marking! Nice, original and complete M30 gasmask which are becoming harder to find!

Excellent original K98 Dress bayonet with its original black leather parade/dress frog. The bayonet is nicely marked A. Evertz, Solingen and is in unsharpened and uncleaned condition. Nice example by a rather scarce maker!

Nice original and matching set of two metal symbols which were intended to be attached to the shoulderstraps to clarify that the wearer was part of a medical unit.

Grimes signal light model K-3 or Air Corps Type C-3-A complete in its original box. On the signal lamp itself there is a label which clearly states the signal lamp is US Army and Air Force property. The signal lamp itself and the box are both  nicely marked with the name of the manufacturer: Grimes Mfg. Co. Urbana, Ohio. The signal lamp is complete with all 4 coloured spare lenses which are virtually always missing or broken! Very nice and complete set!

US Heart shield bible in good condition. These bibles where bought and meant to be carried on the heart to act as a shield. Wether these where really bullet proof could be debated per calibre size; but the fact is these where very popular amongst the troops and often carried in the ETO and PTO. This example features a lot of details of the original owner which makes this a great piece for further research.

Excellent and complete Air Ministry (AM) issued Spectacles Anti-Glare E.2. These are made by and nicely marked M.W.&Co Ltd. Complete set in the original tin!

Very nice pre 1941 pattern denim duffle bag ID’ed to W.R. McGee with ASN number.

Nice carrying strap for the Musette- and GP ammo bag.

Rare paratrooper M1 carbine leg holster in OD colour. The holster is in great condition and nicely maker marked CARTER BROS. INC. 1944.

Rare and issued “Jungle pack” which is nicely named to Edward J Hynes together with an ASN number. Nicely marked INDIANAPOLIS TENT & AWNING CO. 1942. Nice piece for further research!

Excellent hidden stitch Y-strap in very good, close to mint and most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked with a 3 digit code which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!
