Wehrmacht

Typical second model MKB42/MP44 magazine pouch in obviously combat worn condition. One of the first types of ammunition pouch to be produced for the MP44 constructed fully out of recycled materials. The leather and canvas on the pouch was recycled showing many old stitch holes. These pouches where worn by members of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS and a nice example where the troops at the famous Poteau ambush which wears exactly this type of pouch. The pouch is maker marked FUQ 1944 indicating production by Curt Vogel, Cottbuss. The pouch was recently found in a household clearing in Germany and would make a great addition to a combat mannequin!

Rare original bakelite head torch or Stirnlampe for use with MG and Mortar crews for reading firing tables and maps. These torches are often incomplete or heavily damaged. The torch comes with the original cable and elastic in good condition. The on/off switch has a crack and is loose but can be easily placed back into the corner. This is one of the rarest torches I’ve been able to offer and also the best one I’ve ever seen!

Impressive photograph lot of 6 large sized photographs showing a U-Boot getting a new 680HP WUMAG engine in Bremen. Very hard to find original U-Boot photographs in a very large size of 13x13cm!

Very nice original Gebirgsjäger equipment pouch. These where used and carried inside the Gebirgsjäger rucksack. The colored labels indicated what was carried inside.

Very nice original Gebirgsjäger equipment pouch. These where used and carried inside the Gebirgsjäger rucksack. The colored labels indicated what was carried inside.

Nice original Luftwaffe embroided breast or cap eagle. Size is measured in centimeters. Nice used condition!

A very nice near mint Waffen-SS belt buckle marked RZM 155/43 ᛋᛋ  indicating production by Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid. This buckle, contrary to most of the production by Assmann post 1940, is finished in dull grey paint in stead of shiny silver paint. A nice and rare variation of a original Waffen-SS belt buckle with most if not all of its original finish!

Nice mid war cavalry backpack, the overall condition of the backpack is excellent. Complete with the leather carrying straps. Nicely marked with Martin Forker Withen/Sa 1942. Hard to upgrade.

Stunning set of US combat equipment. All in equal combat worn condition. Most if not all items have been personalized. The suspenders where duct taped at the ends. The Carlisle pack also has remains of Duct tape. This is a very nice combat worn US equipment set with most if not all parts left behind in the ETO.

Stunning original US M41 field jacket ID’ed to Robert Lonie, enlisted in Newark New Jersey on 18 March 1941. Lonie served with the 29th Infantry division. Lonie had the ASN 32063479 which is marked inside the jacket. The garment features the wartime sewn insignia with the 29th Infantry Division. The jacket is in good worn and unwashed condition. Very nice original untouched field jacket with a great history and a great base for further research!

Rare to find complete rack for carrying the leGrW 36 or 5cm mortar grenades. Nice to find complete rack with all straps that are often missing. These racks are often seen with Norwegian paint covering the metal but this one still retains all of its wartime paint. Hard to find a better one in good used condition!

Nice early war fur covered rucksack or Tornister. A very nice example in near mint condition. Actually very nice to find one in this condition. Still retains the backstrap and is nicely named on the main straps.

Very nice original Wehrmacht detonator or Glühzündapparat 40 in very good, working condition. This Glühzündapparat 40 is the wartime pattern that was issued with the large pioneer charge satchel. These small sized detonators work on a smaller distance then the normal leather cased detonators who are considerably bulky and heavy. Unlike its bigger brothers this one was carried in hand, without accessories a external pouch! Out of all wartime blasting devices, this one is the rarest!

Unissued Wehrmacht issued hand cranked air raid siren. Standard vehicle item that is extremely scarce to obtain in complete or working condition. This is the first one I’ve ever found in this complete condition. The sirens comes with the original cloth dustcover, the sling AND the belt loop. The belt loop is only the second one I’ve ever seen. The original paint finish on the zink/aluminum based hardware still retains up to 95%. Together with the completeness I’d say it is in unissued condition. The piece is nicely dated 1940 and is maker marked JURK. Incredibly scarce item that would nicely compliment any equipment or vehicle collection!

Late war red lined cloth MG42 ammunition carrying bag. Typical late war construction in combat used condition. The bag is made with typical red lined cloth and steel based hardware. The bag is a roomy fit for a MG34 ammunition box, more snug with a late war steel example. This type most probably also doubles as a grenade carrying bag. Very nice late war ammunition bag!

Very nice pre war short handled wire cutter case with short handled wirecutters. The case is in very good, unissued condition. The leather cases are rare to find, especially in very good, unissued condition. The bottom of the case is marked 4.Kp indicating use by 4. Kompanie.

A stunning(!) pair of M44 Schnürschuhe in mint condition. These where the last model of footwear introduced in 1944. The boots are still in a very nice deep black colour. The boots are in a good mannequin size and are in absolutely unworn condition. These where first issued late in 1944 right in time before the Ardennes Offensive. A textbook M44 pair, in good unworn condition!

Very nice mint Luftwaffe mapcase marked L Ritgen 1939 Karlsruhe. Textbook pre war construction with chocolate brown pebbled leather and aluminum hardware. Hard to upgrade!

A nice fur issued Heer fur hat in good used condition. Nicely dated 1942 and size 55 which is a common size for the time period. The cap is in good condition and the fur still retains most of its hairs. Nice for a eastern front mannequin! Made in the Ghetto of Lodz, Poland which the Germans renamed into “Litzmannstadt”.
