Wehrmacht

Excellent pre war helmet liner in good used condition. Nicely maker marked and dated Schuberth-Werke K.G. D.R.P. 1939 Braunschweig. 

Normandy deathcard to Johann Geier, Obergefreiter in Panzergrenadierregiment 2 killed in action, 14.6.44 western Villers Bocage. Judging by the area of operations it can be said that Geier most probably served in the 2. Panzerdivision or the Panzer Lehr Division. This has been further researched and his full information can be seen on the archive card. A nice detail to his photograph is that it fully shows his awards. The archive card showing more information is not a part of the offering.

Textbook Göffel marked CWSP 40 which indicates production by Carl Prinz AG, Solingen-Wald in 1940. CWSP is a very rare maker to encounter on a Göffel and this is the first example I have had the pleasure to offer!

Typical first pattern butterdish or Fettbüchse marked 24/K.

A nice set of gasmask spare parts consisting of a cleaning cloth together with the spring. These parts are often missing!

A stunning speckled brown bakelite 6×30 binocular case. Later in the war when the Germans ran out of pigment for bakelite they switched over to different fillers. Sawdust was one of the filling materials used, creating a interesting speckled finish. The brown bakelite dienstglas containers where mostly found with tan 6×30 binoculars. The case is in very good, undamaged condition and has a very aesthetic and vibrant light brown colour which would nicely attribute a late war uniform setup.

Excellent textbook pre war lightbrown mapcase maker marked Henseler & Co., Ulm 1938 . The mapcase is in very good, near mint condition.

A tan vinyl K43/G43 magazine pouch. This pouch is marked ros 1944 which indicates production by E. G. Leuner, Bautzen in 1944. A nice K43/G43 pouch in very good unissued condition!

Textbook M31 Zeltbahn marked Textilwerke Karl Anton Henschel Kassel 1942. The Zeltbahn retains most if not all of its factory sewn buttons and nice strong colours.

Original pre war first pattern Wehrmacht issue vehicle first aid kit or Verbandkasten dated 1937. Excellent first pattern example!

Original British MKII paratrooper helmet in used condition. The helmet is a textbook example but is missing the padding and chinstrap. The helmet retains up to 80% of its period factory paint and factory installed liner dated 1943 in size 7 1/2. The helmet is not complete but can still be displayed in a cabinet or on a mannequin.

Excellent M36 field blouse for a Oberleutnant der Gebirgsjäger. The garment is a typical EM example that has been upgraded for wear by officers. Not to be confused with a privately purchased dress tunic, this is the field tunic without French cuffs and wide pockets. The garment is lightly shortened and has typical hand applied embroided insignia which in my opinion looks period applied. The garment is a very nice field blouse that would nicely display in any collection!

A typical reissue M35 helmet that has been reconditioned during the war. Textbook Q62 Heer reissue helmet in good used condition. Externally wartime overpainted with decal on top of the pre war double decal base. The helmet retains its original factory fitted liner and chinstrap and paint up to 90%. A nice and textbook reissue helmet in good condition!

Aluminium coffee container which was part of the standard field kitchen equipment. The container is nicely marked auo 1941 which indicates production by Metallindustrie G.m.b.H. Werk in 1941. Beautiful original example in an almost perfect condition.
