Wehrmacht

Unique shrapneldamaged soldbuch to Panzerschützen Franz Schefler, born 11 december 1926 and enlisted on 11 august 1944 at the age of 17. A typical 17 year old aryan boy with blond hair and blue eyes. He enlisted in 2. Kompanie Panzer Ersatz und Ausbildungs Abteilung 10, transferred to Panzer Ersatz und Ausbildungs Abteilung 4 and later to Grenadier Regiment 912. He was awarded the Verwundeten Abzeichen Im Schwarz on 7 november 1944 due to wounds noted as  Krankheit 31B which indicates 31b-Handgrenade, mortar, artillery (shrapnel). Grenadier Regiment 912 fought heavily in eastern Prussia or Ostpreussen and was destroyed first of april 1945 at Heiligenbeil which is currently known as Kaliningrad. This is for sure one of the most visual and poignant pieces of history I’ve had to offer.

A very rare Gebirgsjäger rucksack waist strap in good used condition. This piece is virtually always missing from all Gebirgsjäger rucksacks and impossible to find as a spare!

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.

Rare pre war Dutch tin of Kwatta’s ration chocolate. Nice period personal item, most probably also eaten by German soldiers in 1940!

A rare 1917 dated K98A deactivated to the newest EU specs – no moving parts. This late ww1 rifle was one of the first carbines issued to the Imperial army. It was designed and issued to Kavelerie  and Stosstruppen. The rifle found more use in the Reichswehr and early parts of world war two. The carbine comes with a ww2 era sling in supple condition. The rifle is not fully matching but complete. A rare carbine which would make a great Imperial, Reichswehr or early world war two display!

Shipping within the EU is possible at your own risk and responsibility after age check – PICKUP IS PREFERRED.

Excellent pre war Radom made wz.29 bayonet, frog and equipment belt in very good condition. The bayonet is nicely marked FB RADOM and the Polish eagle with WP. The scabbard is in its original olive paint and the frog is in natural colored leather. The Belt is in unissued condition and retains various ink and date markings. All leather on this set is supple and it would be extremely hard to upgrade.

A very nice pre war canteen in mint condition. All the parts are marked M&C 39 which is a unknown manufacturer. A rare to find maker mark, especially in this complete and mint condition!
