Wehrmacht

The Italian army messkit (Gavetta Modello 1930) was a commonly seen item within the German army. Prior to re-issue in the German army they where mostly painted green by the Germans. This Italian messkit is one of the best ones I’ve ever seen!

Nice original bakelite lantern in the configuration for regular candles.

Very nice original and matching K98 bayonet marked fze 43 indicating production by F.W. Holler, Solingen. Nice mid to late war example with the scarcer fze marking and nice red bakelite grips. The frog is nicely marked jvf 43 indicating production by Wilhelm Brand, Treibriemenfabrik (driving belt factory), Heidelberg. 

Mint condition late war MP44 ammunition pouch. The pouch is of a typical construction used for pouches marked BXB44. The pouch is a unique, late war and simplified example without securing bridges for the closing straps. The pouch was originally a bringback found together with a ’45 dated MP44 indicating this pouch would have been made in 1945. The pouch is a textbook and excellent example which is a must have for any equipment collector.

Nice original MG34 spanner. This tool is a standard component from the MG tool kit!

Nice near mint tabbed steel Heer belt buckle marked C.W. Motz 1941 Brandenburg.

Rare late war flare ammunition pouch in good used condition. The case is made from blue webbing and comes with its original removable sling. The pouch is complete with all internal dividers and wooden reinforcement and some empty casings. Nicely marked jvf 42. Quite hard to find a better Luftwaffe one!

Scarce original and rare pickaxe carrier in leather. Early variant with light wear. Scarce bit of field gear in lightly used condition with supple leather! Super scarce!

Stunning pair of original MP44 or Sturmgewehr pouches in combat used condition. The pouches are matching and connected by its nice bright green woven connecting strap. The pouches are unwashed and would nicely attribute to a combat mannequin. There aren’t a lot original combat used MP44 pouches around; this is one of the few pairs! Fantastic set that would be impossible to upgrade if you want a piece of history!

Mint unissued reversible ‘fluffy’ splittertarn parka and trousers. The parka and trousers are in mint/unissued condition and would be very hard to upgrade. The set is a nice large mannequin size. The fluffy splittertarn camouflage pattern is one of the rarest camouflage patterns used by the Heer and Luftwaffe. The garment is in mint condition and comes with originally sewn buttons. The jacket retains the waist strap but in my opinion the head tie string is a modern replacement. The set is mint and would be impossible to upgrade.

Superb cased 6×30 Dienstglas by Carl Zeiss. The set is in very good, lightly used condition and comes with all accessories one would expect it to come with. Very hard to obtain in 100% complete condition!

Very nice pre war pattern A-frame with aluminum hardware in good used condition complete with the matching A-frame bag with aluminum grommets and buttons.

Very nice stripped Waffen-SS M40 tunic. Not to be confused with a Heer M40 tunic, this is a genuine SS contract made M40 tunic. The garment retains the clear imprints and ghosting of SS EM insignia. The imprint of the collar tabs, cuff title and sleeve eagle can easily be seen. The garment is a good medium size for modern mannequins. The Garment came out of household clearing and has all insignia and the piece of lining cloth where SS-BW was once stamped removed. The garment would be a perfect example to fully restore or have the collar underneath a smock or dot 44 tunic. The garment retains most of the fluff on the wool and is in good condition.

Very nice tabbed aluminum Heer belt buckle by Gebrüder Gloerfeld, Lüdenscheid which is one of the rarest heer belt buckle makers. The buckle retains up to 85% of the original factory paint and would be very hard to upgrade.

Stunning factory single decal M35 Kriegsmarine coastal artillery two-tone camouflage helmet. Nicely marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The lot number is 48## which is a typical range for a M35 SD KM. The helmet still retains its original chinstrap and liner. The skirt of the helmet is named Schnabel, as is the liner. The two-tone camouflage paint still covers up to 90% of the helmet and still retains its vibrant camouflage colours. The Kriegsmarine decal is painted around and nicely shows with the camouflage paint. Strong golden tones can be seen – surely not a Heer decal! Factory single decal M35 helmets are rare to find, specially Kriegsmarine and especially in such a nice two-tone camouflage paint! Can’t be upgraded.

Killer Luftwaffe M43 field cap with factory sewn two piece insignia. The cap is a good, worn example which is hard to find nowadays. The cap factory sewn insignia; has a hand sewn Luftwaffe cap eagle which is sewn into the main cap construction topped with a machine sewn BeVo cockade. The cap is a size 56 and is marked RBNR inside. The cap is nicely worn and comes with the grime and dirt you’d expect. Very hard to find a cap in untouched and uncleaned condition!

Rare wartime manual for the Walther PPK pistol. The manual is in very good condition. The Manual consists of a number of colored and layered diagrams showing the internal mechanisms of the pistol. The colorful illustrations are done by Thomas Abeking. A very nice manual; I can’t find a second one online.

A very nice original PUMA combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser or officially; Infanteriemesser 42. The handle is made out of typical red speckled bakelite. The knife is in good sharp condition! Perfect combat mannequin accessory!

A nice untouched EM/NCO M42 field cap. The cap retains its wartime factory hand applied cocade and eagle. The cap is in mint condition and shows no signs of use. The nap of the wool still remains at most places. The size of the cap is roughly a 57. A beautiful untouched cap, really!
