Wehrmacht

Stunning three tone Normandy camouflage gasmask canister in very good condition. The canister retains up to 90% of its original three-tone camouflage paint and the long carrying strap. Inside the lid a rubber seal is present indicating this is one of the first gasmask canisters with the “D” stamped on the bottom. Inside the lid is also a small paper label naming the lid to Obergefreiter Fenz. The canister is complete with a mask but it is a different number and name to the one on the canister. However, the numbers are just 10 apart and most probably accidentally switched during the war as the canister was found like this in France! The canister is a really nice example of a subtle three tone camouflage scheme and would nicely attribute any camouflage orientated collection!

A very nice second pattern folding shovel with carrier. The carrier is nicely marked cqr 1943 and BAL 162 indicating production by Lederwerk Sedina Joachim Schell, Sportartikelfabrik, Finkewalde Bez. Stettin (Poland). The shovel is marked epd indicating production by Vereinigte Beckersche Werkzeugfabriken, Remechid-Vieringhausen. The E-tool and its carrier are both in exceptional condition, showing no signs of postwar repaints, restorations or what so ever. Simply the best one I’ve found so far!

A standard pre war, tall gasmask and canister. Complete with its original straps and mask in untouched condition. It is named inside the lid with pencil but it’s hard to read what exactly. A nice and desirable set with most of its original paint, straps and accessories that is hard to find these days.

A very nice mint M42 canteen marked MN43 indicating production by Menesa Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar. 

A nice minty set both marked LLG Thüringen 1942. A matching set, perfect for that minty equipment setup!

Salty original SE64 M40 three-tone Normandy camouflage helmet. The helmet is marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains up to 85% of its original camouflage paint. The helmet retains its original liner and (broken) chinstrap. The helmet is a very attractive camouflage example of tan, green and brown and seems to have another tan camouflage layer under the three tone camouflage. The helmet is in good used condition, surely a combat veteran!

A nice original pair of M44 shoulderstraps in very good condition. Textbook late war construction in late brownish wool. Rayon piped for  Artillerie. A rare late war pair!

A nice original pair of MP40 magazine pouches marked CLG44 in good unissued condition.

A nice early M31 messkit marked HRE40 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen and nicely named to Hans Funk. Still retaining up to 90% of its original factory paint!

A nice pre war 1939 dated equipment belt in true mint condition. Nicely sized 90. A pre war equipment belt thats never been blackened!

A nice late war pioneer Sturmgepäck worn together with the two small side pouches this is the rarest of the three pouches as worn by Pioniertruppen. The pouch is in mint/unissued condition!

A very rare gaberdine M43 tunic in near mint condition. The tunic is a nice large size that will easily fit most modern mannequins. The tunic has not been shortened, nor has its pockets been sewn flat. The breast eagle is the original factory sewn example and has never been removed or restored from the tunic. The litzen of the tunic have sadly been removed but the tunic comes with a spare set. Gaberdine EM tunics are very rare as most where converted to officers tunics. The tunic would be easily paired with a gaberdine Keilhosen that are easily findable. A very rare tunic in great condition!

A nice original breadbag complete with the strap. Inside one of the leather straps is missing. The breadbag is in very nice condition complete with the early belt reinforcement loops.

A nice late war zeltbahn with bakelite buttons marked 0/0501/001. The Zeltbahn is in good used condition and has some missing buttons and a small holes. A rare Zeltbahn to find with good vibrant colours!

A nice late war breadbag with a unusual middle support hook from a Czech pre war breadbag. A nice rare late war breadbag in good used condition!

Late war tan Patronenkasten 41 in very good original condition with most of the original tan paint remaining!

A very nice Juwel 33 stove with most of its original wartime field grey paint and all of its accesoiries. Hard to upgrade and probably working piece with all sorts of spares. I have not filled or tested it but as far as I can see I don’t see why it shouldn’t. Nice personal equipment item!

Small expendable tripod for the artillery trench periscope. The pouch is dated 1943. Interestingly the material of the pouch is the typical late war “red lined” material as also used on MP44 pouches.

A stunning late war Waffen-SS Erbsentarn Keilhosen or dot 44 HBT camouflage trousers. In mint condition, without damages. Manufactured later in the war showing signs of last ditch production. One button hole and the leg straps have never been installed. The camouflage on this pair of trousers is very bright with strong colours and don’t show any fading. These would be a perfect(!) colour match to the Erbsentarn tunics marked 0/0793/0101.

A nice original mid war blue Fallschirmjäger bandoleer in good used condition. A small damage to one of the flaps, other then that a nice used example!
