Wehrmacht

Superb original M43 field blouse for a Heer infantry EM. The tunic is mint, and retains all of its originally factory sewn insignia. The base material is a coarse twill wool and lined with grey rayon. The size is a nice medium fitting most modern mannequins. The breast eagle is factory sewn, not through the lining. The Litzen are also factory sewn, no traces of previously sewn examples. The arm features a period applied Gefreiterwinkel. The tunic has not been shortened or tailored. The garment was issued, retrieved and most probably stored at home for private use. There are two small zig zag repairs on the back of the tunic just below the holes for the belt hooks. These are hardly visible in display. The tunic has nice and clear markings. More then likely this tunic was never ever worn! This is a superb and mint M43 field blouse, a typical garment as issued and worn by members of the Heer in the Wehrmacht. Every detail is textbook and finding a better example would be impossible – especially a rare type as this twill wool example!

A very nice original PUMA combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser or officially; Infanteriemesser 42. The handle is made out of typical red speckled bakelite which is hard to capture in image but even more vibrant in hand. The knife is in good sharp condition and has been used and issued! Perfect combat mannequin accessorie!

Late war M42 canteen in good condition.

A very clean textbook original Waffen-SS belt buckle marked O&C ges. gesch. indicating production by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid. This buckle is rare and near mint condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

Nice variant in thick vinyl. This pouch is marked fuq 1945 indication production by Curt Vogel, Cottbuss. A nice G43 pouch in very good condition!

The buckle is marked J.F.S. indicates production by Josef Feix & Söhne, Gablonz. The buckle by JFS is one of the rarest SS buckles, much rarer then the green RODO buckles. If you are looking for a rare SS buckle, this is it!

Clear mapcase insert. These where issued with map cases and used to keep maps dry in the rain and folded on the right place. These where also used to draw on to the smooth see through surface to keep the maps unmarked.

A stunning unissued canteen marked ESB 43 indicating production by Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin. The Canteen has a very nice light brown leather strap in good supple condition. The cover is nicely made out of loosely woven gaberdine and still retains its 3(not 4!) press studs. Perfect mid to late war canteen that’s impossible to upgrade.

Hard to find matching pair of Luftwaffe Gamaschen or gaiters to match a nice pair of M37 Schnürschuhe. 

One of the rarest late war helmets in unissued condition. The helmet retains its original liner and pins which are original to the helmet. The helmet is marked Q64 in the back of the shell indicating production by Quist. As Quist only started producing the M42 helmet very late in the war there aren’t much examples remaining. The helmet retains up to 95% of its original factory paint. Very rare M42 helmet!

Mint condition British Dispatch Rider helmet size 7 dated 1945.

Very nice original early equipment belt marked LAGO WIEN 1940. The marking is hard to photograph but good to read in hand. Hard to find early belt!

A nice matching numbers bayonet with frog marked Carl Eickhorn 1938 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!

A late war Waffen-SS Wachmantel in good used condition. A lot of these mantels can be seen in pictures of the Ardennes offensive worn by members of Kampfgruppe Hansen and in and around La Gleize. These mantels where specifically made for the Waffen-SS and lack the french cuffs the Heer types have. The mantel shows a lot of wear and age and would make a great addition to a late war Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

A stunning plane tree 5/5 overprint Waffen-SS Zeltbahn in untouched condition. The Zeltbahn retains its bright colours and contrast and most if not all of its originally sewn buttons. The Zeltbahn shows minimum to no wear and has only one minimal damage in the seam. It is a true stunner and must have for the Waffen-SS camouflage collector!

Nice late war Waffen-SS Zeltbahn in Eichenlaubmuster or Oak A and B camouflage. The Zeltbahn is in good condition but has a large period repair. The camouflage material used is all in very good, bright and vibrant condition.

A nice original late war Luftwaffe EM hbt combat tunic. The tunic comes with its original factory sewn breast eagle.

A only scarcely encountered set of J. Vincx & V. Schotanius’s – Nederlandse Vrijwilligers in Europese Krijgsdienst 1-3. The books are in very good condition without damages complete with the original paper backs. A scarce opportunity to buy part 1 to 3 a great documentation on Dutch volunteers in the Waffen-SS!

Nice late war equipment belt marked 0/0485/0002 in good used condition. Size 95 which is good for most modern mannequins.

A stunning Sumpftarn field division smock in very good condition. This smock is in lightly worn condition with some stains to the collar and pockets. The smock has a neatly machine sewn wool-backed breast eagle which is a addition to the garment. Hard to upgrade Felddivision smock in Sumpftarn camouflage!
