Wehrmacht

Nice late war mapcase in good used condition. Complete with some of its original contents. The mapcase is a late war variant in thin rough leather. Hard to find!

A nice matching numbers bayonet with frog marked cof 41 indicating production by Waffenfabrik Carl Eickhorn, Solingen. The bayonet is in very good unsharpened and uncleaned condition. Found together with the leather frog. A nice matching set in very good condition!

Rare matching pair of m43 pattern Sanitäter shoulder straps in unissued condition. The pair is nicely dark blue rayon piped indicating Sanitätstruppen and finished with late subdued Unteroffizierstresse with the rank of Unteroffizier. There are a few small moth holes on the top, otherwise a mint exceptionally rare pair of shoulder straps.

Possibly the best pair of M37 lowboots I’ve had to offer. Dated 1939 complete with the pull tabs that where discontinued in 1940. The boots are a nice large mannequin size and are in good supple condition. The boots are complete with their original laces and all eyelets and hooks they should have. The boots where issued to someone with two uneven feet and therefor slightly modified during the war. Most boots that one would find are mid to late war, a pre war pair is very rare to find!

Truly stunning ET64 M35 three-tone on top of a winter white wash camouflage helmet. The helmet is nicely marked ET64 indicating production by Eissenhuttewerke Thale. The helmet is complete with its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet. The helmet retains up to 85% of its original camouflage paint. Looking at the helmet it is obvious the helmets finish consists of several layers of camouflage paint. The base of the helmet is a double decal Luftwaffe M35 helmet with a reinforced aluminum liner and EA 41 marked chinstrap. On top of that externally a winter white wash camouflage. This is covered up with a dark blue Luftwaffe Reissue paint which also sits on the aluminum liner band. This is finished with a three-tone spray paint camouflage paint that is normally referred to as Normandy camouflage. Another feature in these thick layers of paint is that one can see the imprint of a wire or string that once adorned the top of the shell. The helmet was recently found in Norway. The helmet bears a pencil marking on the left side that resembles the Norwegian royal symbol indicating possible resistance use. The helmet is a great example of usage throughout the war, featuring multiple wartime repaints and finally finished in brightly colored and contrastful three-tone camouflage. Finding a better one that “has it all” would be hard!

Nice black leather mapcase marked bml 42 indicating production by Hans Römer, Neu-Ulm. The mapcase is complete with its clear map over and a Meldeblock.

A nice matching numbers bayonet with frog marked AB 41  indicating production by Mundlos AG, Magdeburg. The bayonet is in very good unsharpened and uncleaned condition. Found together with the leather frog marked Otto Koberstein. A nice matching set in good used condition!

A nice brown pre war Heer mapcase unit marked 2./Sch.R.3. I. The mapcase is maker marked and dated Ernst Köhnen Solingen 1936. 

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet marked J. Sch. 1939indicating production by Jetter und Scheerer. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 899 e and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good, uncleaned, unsharpened and matching (!) condition.

A very nice set marked H.H.L 1941. These where issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The set is in good condition and would normally be one of the standard breadbag items!

First pattern grey reversible parka jacket or Wendejacke in good, lightly worn condition. The jacket has most if not all of its originally sewn buttons and is complete with all strings and straps. The garment is in lightly worn condition with light staining on the white side. Its nicely marked Schulz Warschau and K42. The material used in the construction of the parka is the typical early barcode screen printed grey material. A rare to find grey parka in great, lightly worn condition!

A unique hand bound field notebooks for a veterinarian in the Waffen-SS. These books contained typed notes on a wide array of veterinary practices such as disease diagnosis, medicines, remedies and procedures. These notebooks would be critical in the field without other veterinary care in the area. The notebooks are covered in Waffen-SS Oak camouflage material. As the war progressed a large portion of the German army was still horse powered although the Propaganda reels show differently! This is a great and unique set that was most definitely well kept after because of its importance. A great set that would be a great piece in a cavalry related display!

Hard to find complete pioneer pouches, complete with rucksack in mint condition. The set is made Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt utilizing parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent these for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. Hard to find late war complete Pionier set that would be very hard to upgrade!

A original Waffen-SS M40 Oak B(!) camouflage smock or Tarnjacke in combat worn condition. A typical example of a shortened smock as was done a lot with the M40 smocks as they had no lower pockets. The garment has many rips and repairs but retains its stunning bright colours. I’ve added some pictures of similar smocks in wear! The M40 smock in Oak B is one of the rarest M40 smocks out there. This period modified smock is a prime example as a Waffen-SS camouflage smock in combat worn condition!

A very nice and matching pair of K98 ammunition pouches. The pouches are complete with all straps, dividers and markings. The leather is in good supple condition. The pair is nicely maker marked 0/1032/0001. Nice to find a matching pair which is hard to find!

A very nice late war 6×30 power binoculars or Dienstglas in yellow colour. These late war binoculars is fitted with its original strap and rain shield. The binoculars are clear and usable. The Strichplatte is not visible which seems to be common with these late war binoculars. A very nice pair of late war binoculars still featuring most of its wartime yellow paint in untouched, uncleaned condition.

A nice original Wehrmacht Schlauschal or Oma or toque in good unissued condition. Nicely RBNR marked inside.
