Wehrmacht

A very nice picture lot with original pictures of Waffen-SS Officers, NCO’s and Enlisted men in Norway. Very rare to find pictures of Waffen-SS men in Norway.

A very nice early war picture of a Totenkopf NCO and EM standing with a freshly awarded Iron Cross second class. Nice details such as a SS-VT cap, Totenkopf collar tab, M38 VT plane Tree smocks and cover. A very nice picture with loads of interesting details that would go perfectly next to a EK2 in display!

Stunning and rare cuff title for the Freiwilligen Legion Niederlande in very good uniform removed condition. Nice second pattern RZM style construction as first introduced in 1941. The cufftitle still retains its full length and is in good used condition. There are two notable holes; one small one on the top of the letter ‘a’ and another at the near the end of the cuff. This is one of the rarest cufftitles to find in very good worn condition!

Stunning pair of Waffen-SS shoulder boards for a Hauptsturmführer der Panzertruppen u. Panzerjäger. The pair is in matching condition and shows two pairs of pips, most probably a wartime promotion. The pair is in good condition and shows very light oxidation to the metal wire.

Very rare 1939 dated hand screened SS-Verfügungstruppe plane tree 5/5 Zeltbahn. This pre war pattern plane tree is in very good condition and retains most if not all of its originally sewn green and brown anodized buttons. The Zeltbahn is in untouched condition and shows one stain in the middle. This is a typical stain from using when the Zeltbahn was rolled up and worn on the equipment. The Zeltbahn is nicely marked Warei Zeltbahn D.R.P. 1939 and Warei Petent Reichert Walter Reichert Berlin NW 40. Rare pre war SS-Verfügungstruppe Camouflage items are some of the rarest and most searched for items! Would be very hard to upgrade!

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 WaA on the side. Quite hard to find a better Luftwaffe one!

Nice pair of M36 Heer EM shoulderstraps for a soldier in Artillerie Regiment 69 in unissued condition.

Nice complete set of the long and short strap. Typical late war material as used with the ‘ebd’ marked straps.

Hard to find spare in good used condition. Length approximately 50cm. Often missing from many helmets, this is a perfect addition to a helmet with some patina.

Simply cant be upgraded! A mint original Drillich or hbt M43 Feldbluse or field tunic in near perfect condition. The garment retains the original factory paper label inside. The garment also still retains the red chalk original sewing lines at the breast pockets. The Einheitslitzen are factory period machine sewn to the collar. The breast eagle is hand applied and in my opinion restored. All buttons are present. No stains and a nice large size for a mannequin!

A great 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 43. They are in great condition, perfect on a mannequin! Hard to find a great pair in this condition and size!

A very nice original cardboard ammunition box. The box contains 20 matching 15 round boxes. The boxes where once filled with 300 rounds of 7,92mm SMK munition or Spitzgeschoss mit Kern. This is the standard German armour penetrating ammunition. The boxes are empty and come without munition or parts. A nice addition to a display!

Interesting original private pictures. Great set images typical to the invasion of France in 1940 better known as the Feldzug im Westen. Nice details such as a Crusher cap, Destroyed SDKFZ 250 halftrack, Crushed Matador bus, horse drawn columns and destroyed French D1 tank. Also picture of two field graves now located in Peronne of 3. Kompanie Panzer Pionier Batt. 79. Also a nice picture of a soldier posing by a bridge over the Somme river.

Interesting original private pictures. Great set images typical to the invasion of France in 1940 better known as the Feldzug im Westen. Two pictures of knocked out French D1 tanks having a really bad day.

Messkits and canteens enameled in these colours are attributed to be made by the Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik (DEF) run by Oskar Schindler. Messkits and canteens, unmarked, in these specific colours have been found in the old factory storage of the former DEF.  There are several other makers of enameled steel canteens and messkits but they all carry different characteristic features such as markings or specific colours. No other maker utilizes these light gray and blue colours and lacks markings. The light blue “wash” on top of the enamel is one of the typical features. The messkit is in good used condition and has one hardly noticeable period repair to the hinges. A very nice and rare messkit!

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet with tropical frog marked cvl 42 indicating production by WKC Waffenfabrik G.m.b.H., Solingen-Wald. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 5393 and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good unsharpened, matching (!) condition and comes with its nice tropical frog.

A very nice Prewar RZM M6/1/38 marked messkit in mint condition. Unlike many tall prewar RZM messkits in black, this Messkit is executed in Feldgrau indicating production for the Waffen-SS. Nicely named on the back to Horst Gaüss. There is a single name match to Horst Gauss in the Volksbund database.

A nice issue military map of Moll, Donck and the Gheel surroundings. A very interesting map depicting the area of heavy battles late 1944. Interesting enough, this map is print on the base of a captured German map.

A nice period issue map in good condition. Nice and interesting depicted area of the south of the Netherlands.
