Wehrmacht

A complete pre war EM34 or Entfernungsmesser 34 in complete condition. These where issued with all sorts of artillery pieces and machine guns. They where used to zero in these heavy weapons to shoot accurately on long distances. The range finder comes complete with all the accessories it should have and is expected to be issued with. All carrying straps, slings, covers and even the adjustment tool are there. The optics are clear and give a nice 11 times magnification. The set is still in this pristine condition because it after the war it was reissued and kept in a Norwegian army depot. It has always been stored well! The set is complete with tripod and cover, range finder and cover and the Justierlatte and its rare to find cover. It is hard to find a complete range finder as they are often incomplete.

Late war reversible Sumpftarn parka trousers. The camouflage pattern featured is the early style so called ‘ hard-edged Sumfptarn ‘ with nice contrast and strong colours. The trousers are a good large mannequin size.

A very nice P38 softshell holster marked jwa 4 indicating production by Moritz Stecher, Lederwerk, Freiburg in 1944. The holster is in mint condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

A unusual, late war canteen filling funnel. These funnels where used in field kitchens and together with the 5, 10, and 18 liter aluminium “Trinkwasser” drinking water containers to fill canteens. These funnels had the capacity of exactly one standard 0.8 liter canteen. They are wide enough at the top for a 5, 10 or 18 liter drinking water  container to easily poor. It is used by holding a finger underneath the small hole underneath the funnel and then filled to the top. The funnel is then placed above a canteen and the finger is removed. The canteen will be filled quick and without spillage! The funnel is made out of enameled steel like many of the late war canteens. A nice unusual item!

A extremely scarce set of two magazine pouches for the MKB 42 assault rifle.  Probably one of the rarest magazine pouches produced during the second world war. These magazine pouches for the MKb 42 are as rare as the weapons itself. Interestingly these seem a in between model between the first and third type. The first type of pouches has the same direction of the magazine compartments pointing inwards. In the later models these where the magazines curved out of the way of the body. Most probably due to the magazines sticking into ones abdomen whilst going prone. Nicely marked Mkb 42 – jwa 4 indicating production by Moritz Stecher, Lederwerk, Freiburg. A unique set that I’ll most definitely never find another set of. A no-brainer if you own a extremely rare MKB 42 !

A nice and named long M38 gas mask canister with straps, mask and filter. The canister is nicely named to Obergefreiter Juckel. 

Super rare German army medical or Sanitäter red cross recognition vest. These vest where issued and worn by Sanitäter and Krankenträger to be easily recognized in battle. The vest is in good unworn condition and nicely marked Wk. V. Ulm. A centerpiece to any Sanitäter mannequin!

Original 1942 dated Blaugrau buttons for Heer, Luftwaffe and SS. In 1943 a new einheitsfarbe meaning colour for all branches was introduced and used on all garments. This was never fully implemented but a large portion of the M43 and most if not all M44 tunics received these. From that date onwards Graublau was the new textbook colour for pebbled buttons on uniforms. These can be seen on original m42, m43 and m44 tunics, mantels and caps. Also the M43 tropical uniforms and Fliegerblusen featured these!

A deep chocolate coloured butterdish in good condition. The bakelite is free of cracks and is a nice light brown colour. The butterdish opens in a 1/3 turn as it should and dated 1944.

Scarce late war brown Y-straps in lightly worn condition. Hard to find brown pair of Y-straps nicely RBNR marked inside the O-ring leather. Scarce!

A great late war Y-strap with simplified backstrap. Nicely RBNr marked and in good, supple condition. Can’t be upgraded!

A nice and minty pair of lightweight Y-straps as issued to Kavallerie, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine personnel. Nicely maker marked 1/0348/0022. Hard to upgrade!

Nice small collection of 8 filled cigarette packs in good condition. The packs are of a small variety of different brands as smoked and issued in the Wehrmacht.

A textbook P08 Luger holster in very good condition. Nicely marked bml 42 indicating production by Hans Römer, Neu-Ulm. The holster is complete with all loops, straps and buckle. Hard to upgrade piece!

A very nice LP34 in working condition. The LP34 still has the full anodization finish and never has been repainted. The finish still remains for 99% and this is one of the nicest LP34 flare guns I’ve ever owned.  The LP34 is marked AYF 41 which indicates production by “Erma”, B. Geipel, G.m.b.H., Waffenfabrik, Erfurt.

A very nice brown Pistole 35(p) Radom holster. The holster is in good lightly used condition. Inside its nicely named and marked bnz P35(p) 1943.

A nice brown K98 sling in very good lightly used condition. Nicely marked N Waldow Prag 1943. The strap is supple and would be a very nice addition to any K98, K43 or MP44. Hard to upgrade!

A stunning original Waffen-SS plane tree 1/2 overprint smock in mint/unissued condition. The smock is a typical M42 type 1 smock with straight pockets. The pockets are lined with field grey Drillich material with blurred edge pocket flaps. The garment is typically sewn on the sides with a double needle seam and the rest finished with a single needle machine. The rayon drawstring is woven through handsewn holes. All of the foliage loops are fully intact. The sleeves are finished with hand screened 5/6 plane tree. The elastic on the sleeves and waist is still in functional condition and has never been removed or replaced. The smock does not have any damages or holes. The camouflage print is strong and full of contrast and the colours very vibrant. The smock would be a prime piece in any camouflage collection and would be very hard to upgrade.

Very nice bakelite flare container for 6 green star flares in very good condition with its original (often faked(!)) label.
