Wehrmacht

A nice original Presstoff E-tool carrier in very good condition. The leather is supple and it can easily be displayed on a mannequin. Nicely maker marked gjj and dated 1944. Textbook mid- to late war variation made out of Ersatzmaterial!

Nice original P38 hardshell holster marked CXB 43 indicating production by Moll, Lederwarenfabrik, Goch, Rheinland.

A very nice pre war M31 messkit marked RZM M6/1/39. The messkit still retains up to 90% of its original field grey paint. These RZM quality messkits where issue to all sorts of political organizations. This short M31 model is a typical military messkit. This M31 messkit was most probably made and used by the Waffen-SS. The usual prewar political models for the Hitlerjugend, Allgemeine-SS and SA where finished in a black paint and are of the large M1910 model. This one, being a short military model produced in Feldgrau was most probably produced and used by the Waffen-SS.

A nice messkit for a early SS-VT setup and very rare to find!

Nice original Kuban campaign shield complete with its original document to Jäger Siegfried Vierheilig , Jäger regiment 229 which was a part of the 101. Jäger division. The shield is in very nice condition complete with its backplate and paper back.

Very nice original German anti tank gun sight marked Z.F. 3×8 DZL indicating production by Optische Anstalt Oigee G.m.b.H.,, Berlin-Schoeneberg. The sight is in good condition with working optics. If you really need to use them to stop hordes of T34’s I would suggest prior cleaning otherwise a very nice display piece!

B-4 pattern AN-6519-1 life preserver vest aka Mae-West as issued to Paratroopers, US Army Air Force or US Naval aviators. From February 1944, AN-6519 was the new designation for the B-4 life preserver as part of an effort to expedite mass production of a vest that could be issued to the Army or Navy Air Force (A-N=Army-Navy). Dated January 1945, made by United States Rubber CO. The vest is marked with an anchor indicating US Navy issue.

Excellent Y-strap in very good, close to mint and most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0485/0002 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Rare pre war US army issue blue denim hat Cont. W-669-QM Dated Dec. 10 1940 in the rare large size 6 7/8.

Excellent grouping to Gefreiter Josef Schramm which part of 10e Kompanie Grenadier Regiment 399. The grouping consists out of a wound badge in black and a Iron Cross second class, both complete with the award document. Excellent grouping!

Hard to find original two-tone camouflaged MG34 and MG42 ammunition box. Very hard to upgrade!

A interesting German gasmask and its canister in very good condition. It is named to Unteroffizier H. Brauwer of ArtillerieRegiment 1716. Artillerie Regiment 1716 played a vital role in the battle for Normandy. Spread on the rear flank of Omaha– and Sword beach. Also stationed in Breville and Merville where the British 6th Airborne division landed. One or two kilometers from the beaches or in the middle of the British drop zone they must have had a lot of action on June 6, 1944. A can from my personal collection, in very good, lightly used condition with a VERY interesting unit marking! A must have for any D-day collector!

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.

A great lightbrown pair of late war felt boots. Typical eastern front footwear worn and issued with the reversible, non reversible and charkov parkas. The pair is a nice large 29 which translates to a modern EU 44. The pair is nicely marked RB-Nr. 0/1287/0009. Hard to find a great pair in this condition and size!

A very nice original carrier for the pre war long handled wire cutters in very good, lightly used condition. Nicely marked Robert Larsen Berlin 1937. Very rare to find, and perfect to match with a wire cutter!

Nice presstoff MG34 and MG42 tool pouch in very good, lightly used condition. Not visibly maker marked. Complete with the wooden board and Kreiskornbehalter.

Hard to find 1940 dated Y-straps in nice used condition. The Y-strap is nice and supple and would be a nice addition to any early mannequin!
