Wehrmacht

Fully functional MG42 sustained fire tripod or Lafette, used for direct and indirect fire. The Lafette is a textbook wartime produced example using wartime parts. It’s a early variant marked fsu 1942 indicating production by Excelsior Fahrrad und Motorradwerk, Brandenburg. The Lafette was reissued post war in the Austrian army but still retains most if not all of its wartime components. The Lafette has been repainted; but a quick scratch test reveals that most probably you can reveal most of the original paint that’s still underneath! If you look at the second and third picture you can see what a piece of wood or plastic can do; you can easily clean off the post war paint without much hassle. A really easy restoration! The Lafette retains its original markings, the original Uberschiesstabel and a very low serial of 349 which is 13 numbers away from the earliest found example. This is a great example that would be a great base to clean to reveal its original finish; which is a rare feature to any Lafette!

PLEASE NOTE THAT ADDITIONAL POSTAGE FEES WILL BE CHARGED AFTER ORDERING due to the heavy weight. This will probably be an extra 50 euro for Europe, and 200 for outside of Europe. Pickup in our warehouse in Tampere, Finland is possible.

Stunning original battle damaged M35 three-tone camouflage helmet. Nicely marked EF62 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda with its original size 55 liner. The helmet retains up to 85% of its original wartime field applied camouflage paint. The helmet has a small shrapnel damage on the rear skirt that most probably was a lucky catch to the wearer. The helmet is a nice and typical three-tone camouflage helmet with a nice battle damage!

Beautiful and textbook tropical Y-straps or Koppeltragegestell in very nice untouched condition. Full webbing construction with the textbook woven back strap. The Y-strap is nicely dated 1942 on the inside of the leather reinforcement.

Beautiful and perfectly matching pre war, very early Wehrmacht issue production mess kit or Kochgeschirr in very nice worn condition without any real damages. The lid and the pot are both beautifully marked A.W.G. 35 which indicates production by Albert Wildfang Metallpreßwerk, Gelsenkirchen in 1935. Early dated Wehrmacht issued equipment is incredible hard to find especially from this rare manufacturer!

A rare “last ditch” Erzats bayonet frog, constructed from recycled materials. The green canvas is the same material as the ones used for the late war produced bread bags. Very hard to find in this outstanding lightly used condition.

Textbook mid war black leather K98 bayonet frog with the closing strap. The frog is beautifully marked Gebr. Graf, Kuchenheim 1942. The frog is in slightly used condition and would easily match any bayonet!

Very nice original Heer/Waffen-SS Collar liner or Kragenbinde. These collar liners where standard in every tunic but are virtually always missing from the garment! Nice example with pressed paper button!

Beautiful period glasses which would look great as an accessory on a mannequin. The glasses are complete with their original carrier and would be a great addition to a personal effects display as well. Hard to find period glasses and perfect for a Hitlerjugend display!
