Wehrmacht

Waffen-SS reversible Erbsentarn mittens which should have been issued with the parka and trousers (Winteranzug),unfortunately this is not a matching set and both mittens are intended for the right side! These mittens are reversible to the white side and to the Erbsentarn camouflaged side. The mittens are in unissued condition but show some damage and traces from storage over the years. Hard to find pair!

Rare and hard to find pre Wehrmacht, Reichswehr period/pattern mapcase. These map cases are plainer than the Wehrmacht models but provide just as much storage for maps and accessories! The mapcase is nicely marked I.R. 2 (Infanterie Regiment 2), 1926. This mapcase is clearly in combat used condition and survived the second world war as well.  This mapcase has been picked up by most likely a vet liberator who marked the mapcase “Souvenir Sttutgart (Stuttgart) 21-4-45” which indicates this mapcase was found in Stuttgart on 21-4-45. Very nice, interesting and hard to find Reichswehr mapcase!

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.

Late war produced M31 breadbag in good, light used condition. All buttons and D-rings are original factory applied! The breadbag is nicely marked on the back of the hook/strap with and faded but still clearly noticeable RBNr. Late war example made out of two different types of fabric with nice almost yellow coloured stitching.

Beautiful US Army HBT camouflage jacket. These jackets were issued with trousers to troops in Normandy as a trial with the second armored division.
