Wehrmacht

Stunning field blouse for a Oberleutnant der Infanterie named Wagner. The garment is a beautiful example fully made out of Dutch Kamgaren. The garment retains its fully wartime sewn insignia and received a period promotion to Oberleutnant at some point using two different rank pips. Inside the breast pocket is a small label indicating the producer Louis Simons from Breda, the Netherlands who kept producing post war. The garment is a good medium size for most modern mannequins. The left breast pocket is adorned with a set of award loops and one for a ribbon bar. Beautiful example!

Textbook late war medical rucksack or Sanitäter Tornister. The Tornister is marked dny 1943 indicating production by Karl Bollmann & Co., Lederwarenfabrik, Tuttlingen. The Tornister retains all straps, flaps, pockets and factory sewn Red Cross. Excellent and mint example that would be impossible to upgrade!

Textbook late war MG34 and MG42 ammunition box marked bzl which indicates production by Friedr. Siemens-Werke. The case is in very good condition retaining up to 985% of the factory paint that would be very hard to upgrade! Interesting is the capital O stencil on one side and the calculations which are noted on the ammo box. Interesting, textbook and untouched MG ammo box in great condition!

Textbook M31 canteen in combination with a brownish phenolic resin (Bakelite) cup which started production in 1940! This example seems to be unissued and only shows some traces of storage and has been found as is! The flask itself is nicely marked OHW 40 which indicates production by Otto Honsel Werdohl in 1940. The cup is nicely marked with the 3 letter code gfc which indicates production by Julius Posselt, Gablonz an der Neisse, Reichsgau Sudetenland. The cup is MPD marked with the material S which indicates the usage of Phenolic resin (bakelite) with sawdust as the filler material.

Excellent second pattern speckled brown butterdish with the fine thread in absolutely stunning condition. The bakelite has nice light brown colours and speckles because of the filler material. This example is MPD coded 1W/133 which indicates production by Julius Posselt, Gablonz an der Neisse, Reichsgau Sudetenland and the usage of urea resin (which is a certain type of Bakelite) with an organic filler material. Hard to find example which would be impossible to upgrade!

Very rare bright red coloured butterdish in absolutely stunning condition. The butterdish is nicely MPD coded OX/S which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer and the usage of Phenolic resin (bakelite) with sawdust as the filler material. These are less hard to find than the unmarked example but these are higher in demand! Hard to find example which would be impossible to upgrade!

Textbook German helmet chinstrap in good, close to mint condition, most likely unissued. The chinstrap is nicely marked ftb 44 which is a rather common maker for chinstraps but is still an unknown maker. Beautiful close to mint late war example which is hard to find as a spare!

3 matching equipment straps in unissued condition. All the individual straps are unmarked but all have the same construction futuristics and are a real matching set. Nice set of 3 matching straps, perfect to finish a mannequin!

The strap features a unit mark which is nice for further research, nice pre war equipment strap in good used condition!
