Rare unissued Dutch NAD or Nederlandse Arbeitsdienst uniform in stone mint condition. These uniforms where worn by Dutch ‘Volunteers’ working for the Arbeitsdienst. Mostly doing farming labour and digging anti tank ditches and trenches on the eastern front.   The trousers and jacket are colour and fabric matching, with the trousers marked Bussum. This is a very rare, unissued set in mint condition that would be impossible to upgrade.

Rare late war Heer Panzer trousers in near mint condition. Perfect mid to large sized example fitting most if not all mannequins!

Excellent original 1940 dated polished zinc liner. The liner is a rather large size 54 fitting for size 64 helmet shells. The liner is nicely marked Schuberth-Werke – AG, Braunschweig 1940 which indicates 1940 production. The helmet liner is complete with its original drawstring still attached.

A nice early war album from 1939 to 1941 showing many interesting details from the 1939 and 1940 campaigns. Places of interest photographed are the Ostsee, Feldherrnhalle, Ieper (Menin gate, Lakenhalle), Paris, Crashed Stuka, Dunkirk, Mons, Wevelgem, burned out British vehicles and Borkum beach. There are around 200 photographs period affixed with corners in the album.

Nice late war produced M31 Heer Splittertarn Zeltbahn in most likely unissued condition showing minor traces of storage. The Zeltbahn retains most of its originally applied buttons. The Zeltbahn has nice and strong, vivid colours. Excellent late war M31 Zeltbahn in Splittertarncamouflage.

Textbook 1943 dated coconut (Feldflasche) canteen in good used condition. This is the variant with the typical webbing closing buckle and with the metal LUX marked tips. The canteen is nicely marked HRE 43 which indicates production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen in 1941. In configuration with an excellent black urea resin (type of bakelite) cup marked gfc 1943. Textbook coconut canteen in good used but not abused condition!

Textbook 1941 dated coconut (Feldflasche) canteen in good used condition. This is the variant with the typical webbing closing buckle and with unusual rounded metal tips which are only encountered on early coconut examples like this one! The canteen is nicely marked HRE 41 which indicates production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen in 1941. In configuration with an excellent black bakelite cup marked gfc 1941. The pin on the bottom to attach the straps is sadly missing. Textbook coconut canteen in good used but not abused condition!

Black bakelite cup which is in a good used condition with some small surface scratches. The cup is nicely marked with an MPD code which was typical for period produced bakelite items. The MPD code 4M/S Indicates production by Kronacher Porzellanfabrik Stockhardt und Schmidt-Eckert, Kronach and that the used material is Phenolic resin (bakelite) with sawdust as the filler material. Excellent black bakelite cup to complete a canteen or a display!

Nice original British MKII helmet with brown helmet net with a excellent nice and large liner dated 1942.

US World war two issue Corcoran paratrooper jump boots named Wayne G. Deller US-52275103. The boots are in good used condition with period installed German Elite marked zippers. These where added to many jump boots in the early occupation time with troops stationed in Europe. The zippers are in working condition and would make putting them on mannequins a lot easier. Nice pair in great condition!

Textbook pair of British ammo boots dated 1944 straight from the Woodwork in Saint–Lô, Normandy. These boots survived the war and was found with 5 helmets in a farm in Saint–Lô by myself, 5.6.2021.  Interesting detail is that the boots have period installed German hobnails and laces indicating they where probably worn by a German soldier. Still textbook British army boots in good worn condition.

Beautiful and rare Göffel marked W.J.S. 40 Rostfrei which indicates production by Wilhelm Jordan, Solingen in 1941. This Göffel is made out of stainless steel (Rostfrei) which is very unusual and W.J.S. is a rare maker to encounter. Probably one of the rarest Göffels to find in good used condition!

Excellent can opener which is part of the Wehrmacht field cutlery set which were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The can opener is also the base part which keeps all 4 loose parts together. The can opener is nicely marked ESM 41 which indicates production by an unidentified manufacturer in 1941. As is the case with almost all parts of the field cutlery sets this fork is marked with an clearly visible eagle which clarifies it’s Eigentum der Wehrmacht. Perfect as a spare or to complete a field cutlery set!
