Wehrmacht

This Lico Wirtschaftkasten was one of the most luxuous pieces of private purchase pocket litter. This set was commonly gifted to sons going to war, bought by officers or bought at barracks stores. This kit basicly had all the items a soldier would need to keep clean and organised. The Mica is a basic set of period personal items and was designed to fit inside the M31 messkit. This Lico type is the Reichswehr variant which fits in the higher pre war messkit.

Nice early bayonet frog in good used condition.

Rare original ZF41 scope with its original early green case. A original ZF41 sniper scope case marked jvb. Still retaining up to 90% of its original factory green paint and comes with its rare original brush. The scope is a textbook piece with original mount and both of the original sunshades. In a sea of fakes, here is a real one in good used condition

Rare early pattern breast eagle in unissued condition. These eagles are textbook for the M34 and M35 field blouse. Very hard to find!

A very nice late war blue belt buckle or Einheitskoppelschloss in stone mint condition still wrapped in its factory wrapping. The belt buckle still retains 100% of it’s original factory paint! A very nice Heer belt buckle that would be impossible to upgrade!

Superb M35 helmet with a typical 1940 campaign overpaint in field grey paint. Beautiful M35 double decal Heer helmet with period field repaint. The helmet is a textbook example of a early field overpaint when the double decals where first being fased out. The helmet was externally fully overpainted except for the decal which masked, not dug out postwar. Textbook M35 helmet marked ET66 indicating Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet comes with its factory installed liner and chinstrap. The helmet was brush painted externally in a field grey paint which is typical for helmets used in the 1940 campaigns. The helmet is a beautiful and untouched example with loads of character that would be hard to upgrade!

Rare first pattern(!) Dutch M1917 Stormdolk in very good condition. The dagger comes with its very rare first model scabbard that was made without the leather securing strap around the handle. This strap was intended to keep the dagger from slipping out of the scabbard when not in use. This strap was later added to most if not all of the first pattern scabbards but this one seems to have missed that mandatory modification. The Scabbard is in very good condition without any modifications or repairs and is nicely marked CW indicating production by the Centrale Werkplaats. The dagger itself is in very good condition with most of its original blueing remaining to the blade. The handle is nicely marked and retains a nice patina. The dagger is numbered 1901 B and is original to the scabbard – looking at early M17 daggers it seems that the scabbards where not numbered. The dagger was recently found in the vicinity of Tilburg, the Netherlands. A very nice first pattern M1917 Stormdolk in very good condition that would be very hard to upgrade – for sure the best one I’ve had the pleasure to offer!

Nice original paramarine patch. The patch was once glued on a piece of paper with some residue remaining to the back. Rare example!

Textbook late war Y-straps with angled D-rings maker marked 0/0485/0002. Hard to upgrade!

1943 dated US raincoat marked Marathon Rubber Prod. Co. Nov. 29, 1944. The raincoat is in very good, mint condition and in contrary to most examples; is supple and wearable. The size is Medium. Very hard to find!

A stone mint pair of Luftwaffe M40 trousers or Fliegertuchhose. The trousers are a good mannequin size and still retain most if not all of the nap on the wool. The garment still retains its original factory paper tag indicating production by August Sauer Uniformfabrik. Inside nicely size marked and LBA(S). A stunning pair in stone mint condition that would look great on a mannequin and is truly impossible to upgrade.

Textbook pre war Luftwaffe issue EM/NCO jackboots unit marked Fliegerhorst Westendorf Fl. Herst-Komp. III which is in Wesendorf, Niedersachsen. The jackboots are a nice large size and are in good worn condition. Very hard to find in good condition!

Unissued late war Zeltbahn with super vibrant colours that would be very hard to upgrade. Superb near mint piece with most if not all buttons!

Near mint world war one period M1917 helmet with period applied EGA insignia and a Z356 marked shell. The insignia is applied through a pierced, not drilled hole in the front. These helmets where worn by members of the USMC attached to the 2nd ID fighting in world war two including the infamous battle at Belleau Wood. Rare helmet!
