A textbook pair of M37 Schnürschuhe in unissued condition. The leather is strong and very supple on these boots and they are complete with their original laces. Nicely marked and size 27 1/2 . Both boots are made out matching shades of leather. Hard to upgrade textbook pair of lowboots!

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!

Stunning M16 transitional single decal Heer helmet. The helmet retains up to 99% of its original finish and decal. The helmet received two reworks; one in apple green with two decals which was reworked around 1942 to ’40 specs with rough textured paint and a Huber-Jordan & Körner toned heer decal. The helmet comes with its original liner and originally attached pre war Czech chinstrap. The helmet recently was found during household clearing in Germany and was never in a collection before. Very nice helmet in exceptional condition that can’t be upgraded!

Very nice set of two MP38 and MP40 magazine pouches in very good, near mint condition.The pouches are both maker marked and dated clg 42 and are constructed in Luftwaffe blue canvas. The right pouch was converted from left to right by tilting the belt loops and the D-ring. If you don’t want to pay 2000 euro for a perfect set but do want a original set that looks mint; this is it!

A stunning double decal M40 Polizei helmet. The helmet retains both of its original decals and its liner and chinstrap it was found with. The helmet was brought back by a US 3rd division veteran out of Italy and has not been altered. The helmet is a nice big 66cm size. A nice original police helmet!

A stunning Waffen-SS plane tree 1/2 Camouflage Zeltbahn in lightly worn condition. The Zeltbahn retains most if not all of its originally sewn buttons and has a few period repairs. The Zeltbahn is made up out of a nice and unique variety of camouflage patterns; early handscreened plane tree 1/2, late plane tree 1/2 overprint and Handscreened 5/6 on the sides. The colors are strong and vibrant, hard to find a better one! The Zeltbahn is all in great condition and surely one of the best ones I’ve had to offer!

Superb US M1 helmet with the rare first pattern St. Clair helmet liner in near mint condition. The rare type first pattern St. Clair liner of this helmet is featured in a book which I can highly recommend;  M-1 Helmet, Pieter Oosterman, 2007 (pages 146 and 148-149 of the 2007 Limited Edition and pages 154 and 156-157 of the 2010 Schiffer Edition). The liner is a textbook example with full rayon suspension and square washers. The shell is a textbook M1 McCord fixed bale example with early cast raised brass buckle. The shell is marked 218A. The helmet is a very nice example that would be very hard to upgrade. Surely one of the rarest liners to find, especially in this condition!

Stunning Panzer or Panzerjäger officers visor in very good near mint condition. The visor retains its bright pink wool piping with its originally attached insignia. The wool is in very good condition with 99% of its fluff with minimal surface moth grazing and one small damage to the piping on top.

Rare original vintage Jacket, jumper, working, Denim, Blue, QM Spec 6-125 in unissued condition. This is a very rare 6-125 denim work pullover jacket with two large rectangular patch pockets on the chest. The buttons are marked U.S. Army.

The 6-125 Jumper was a loose-fitting pullover with a three button half-placket front that ended in a pointed bottom. It had a falling collar and split cuffs closed by a single button. The coat had two large, rectangular patch pockets on the chest. These pockets had no buttons or flaps, and were “side opening”: the entrance to the pocket faced inwards towards the placket and buttons. The buttons were made of zinc and were cast with the letters U.S. Army.

 

A central piece of the German pagan culture; the Yule candle lantern or Julleuchter. A typical lantern that was lit on the midsummer solstice, midwinter solstice and Jul, the pagan Yuletide intended to replace Christmas. These are very rare as most were damaged or destroyed postwar. These lanterns were to be found in the homes of many SS members and are one of the most well known third reich era objects. Rare original example in very good condition!
