Exceptional M36 EM field blouse with full originally sewn insignia for a Obergefreiter in Gebirgsjägerregiment 100. The blouse is in full mint condition without any damages or alterations. The blouse is a very nice large size fitting most if not all mannequins. The blouse comes with a rare and wonderful set of cyphered pre war shoulderstraps for Gebirgsjägerregiment 100. The garment retains all of its period sewn insignia; a set of pre war generic Kragenlitzen, a Obergrefreiter chevron and Gebirgsjäger Edelweiss. This is really a stunning textbook EM M36 tunic in mint condition, surely the best one I’ve ever had to offer!

Stunning original three-tone M35 camouflage helmet. The helmet is marked SE62 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains up to 95% of its original three-tone ‘Normandy’ camouflage pattern with vibrant colours and contrast which is also visible on the buckle of the chinstrap. The helmet shows multiple decals which can be seen through the camouflage paint. The helmet retains its original factory fitted early non-reinforced liner and its original period fitted chinstrap. The dome of the helmet is unit marked for Pionier Regiment 52. The helmet is a excellent example of a three-tone Normandy camouflage helmet with most of its finish remaining; a stunning helmet that would be very hard to upgrade!

This is a excellent conversation piece literally illustrating the individual soldiers wartime story. Hard to find piece from my personal collection!

Rare original Heer Panzer Wrapper for a Major der Panzertruppen. The wrap is in very good, lightly worn condition. The wrap has been slightly shortened and taken in the waist, ommitting the waist straps and belt hooks. The garment has little to no moth damage and is easily classed ‘near mint’. The garment has a pair of sewn in shoulderboards an a hand sewn, pre war variant breast eagle. Rare original Panzer Wrap in good condition!

Late war flared rim M38 paratrooper helmet marked CKL68 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale. The helmet is a late war flared rim type no decal M38 helmet. The helmet retains its originally mounted late war liner and chinstrap. The helmet retains all of its 4 tight fitting slotted aluminum liner bolts. The helmet retains 95% of its original factory Feldgrau textured paint with a light wash and wear to the top. The helmet is a size 68 shell with a size 56 liner. The liner is marked R.B.Nr. 0/0251/0111. The chinstrap is a plain sewn late war variant with a friction buckle. Simply one of the best late M38 paratrooper helmet I have ever had!

Superb relic of the La Gleize battle; this tunic was recovered after the battle inside a halftrack in La Gleize. The tunic is a textbook obviously combat worn M43 field blouse with the obvious remnants of collar tabs and a cuff title. The garment was found and comes with a set of white rayon piped EM straps which are original to the tunic and cyphered with a 5. The sleeve has a tear where the eagle used to be; most probably cut as a souvenir together with the collar tabs. The garment is nicely marked 712 which is a typical maker marking for SS uniforms. The garment was previously displayed in the old December 44 museum in La Gleize. The garment is a stunning and story telling piece that would deserve a display case of its own and is certainly unique in its form.

Rare and matching Heer Gaberdine M43 uniform in unissued condition. The field blouse and the trousers are in a large size with 100cm chest size. The trousers and blouse are in the same colour wich is rare to find and a great base for a mannequin. The field blouse bears insignia for a Heer enlisted men. The garments retains all of their factory sewn buttons. The field blouse comes with full machine sewn insignia; a  breast eagle which has been zigzag sewn and a pair of straight sewn Einheitskragenspiegel with no signs of previously attached insignia. Although the breast eagle is attached in a textbook way, I believe it might be a new addition to the garment. This does not deter from the fact that this is a fully matching, large sized and not commonly encountered uniform set in unissued condition that would be a great set in any collection!

A stunning late war Waffen-SS Erbsentarn Keilhosen or dot 44 HBT camouflage trousers. The trousers have two small damages on the side and back of the trousers. Manufactured later in the war showing signs of last ditch production with simplified buttonholes. 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.

Rare 27 inch train eagle by Rheinmetall Borsig, Berlin.  The eagle is marked GAl – Mg (Hy  and with the Rheinmetall Borsig, Berlin logo. The eagle is in good condition without any damages to the front. The back has two small holes drilled for mounting purposes which was done by a collector in my opinion. This however makes it really easy to mount to the collection room wall. A great original train eagle that would look be a nice addition to any collection!

Spectacular two-tone camouflage helmet marked Q64 indicating production by Quist. The helmet started it life as a single decal Luftwaffe helmet and was later camouflaged in the field. The camouflage is a typical, brush applied pattern with debris mixed through the paint. The camouflage finish retains up to 90%. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and LBA marked chinstrap. The helmet is named to Kanonier Ketelsen with the feldpostnummer 47050 indicating Gemischte Flak-Abteilung 347 which was a part of the 12. Flak Brigade. Originally formed on Guernsey, it was also known as Flak-Brigade Kanalinseln. The Brigade was then moved to Bordeaux and Saintes. Impressive camouflage helmet that would be a great addition to any helmet collection!

Rare Waffen-SS reversible spring oak leaf parka in the large size 3. The garment is in light won condition and has several small neatly done depot style patched repairs. The garment retains its nice and strong vibrant colours that would be hard to upgrade!

A stunning set consisting of a M40 field blouse and the trousers it was issued with. The set is completely untouched and is how I bought it straight from a german household clearer in in 2013. Both the tunic and trousers are in the same minty condition and both in a desirable large size suitable for most if not all mannequins. The field blouse is of the M40 type with all of its original factory sewn insignia. The early style breast eagle has been machine sewn on the top, flipped over and the bottom handsewn. The early style Litzen are also factory applied. The shoulder boards are white rayon piped indicating Infanterie. All of these insignia are original to the tunic, and have not been added, restored or anything like it. The early style breast eagle and Litzen indicate production prior to May 1940 when they switched to the lightgrey Litzen and field grey breast eagle. Inside the collar is a 1940 dated Kragenbinde and the bandage pocket is also filled with a 1940 dated bandage. The tunic has not been shortened, modified, or restored in any way. I can not see any damages be it moth or repairs. Imo this tunic has never been worn

The trousers are equally mint but have minor storage wear to them. I can see one small moth hole on the bottom that is approximately 2mm. It would easily be masked with any boot. The trousers have their original suspenders by Herkules and marked DRP on the leather tabs. The trousers are a nice big size, just like the tunic.

This set has been found together, has not been owned by any other collector and would make a killer early war display. Finding a original set is hard, especially a early M40 like this with the early style insignia configuration.

A killer brush painted three-tone geometrical camouflage helmet. Truly a typical and stunning example of a original geometrical camouflage helmet with bright colours. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet. The helmet shows several layers of paint which are topped with a geometrical camouflage pattern . The colours are vibrant and full of contrast, it really stands out! The helmet retains up to 95% of its original camouflage paint. The liner is named but it is hard to make out. The chinstrap is shortened but original to the helmet. The helmet was found years ago in Denmark and emerged from the woodwork after a newspaper ad. Due to the thick paint the shell markings are hard to see. The helmet is a M40, most probably NS production. Truly a exiting helmet that would be a centre piece to any camouflage helmet collection. For sure the best coastal artillery camouflage helmet I’ve found!

Very nice original late war Waffen-SS M43 EM/NCO field blouse in coarse captured Italian wool with provenance to Dachau. Textbook construction with zigzag rayon lining and two holes for belt hooks. The garment retains all of its originally sewn buttons and a ghost of a once factory sewn sleeve eagle. There are zero moth nips and the garment is in perfect unissued condition. The garment has not been shortened or tailored in any way. Normal and typical size fitting most modern mannequins. The garment was taken from the Dachau stores after the camps liberation and worn on the way home by a former prisoner. The name and birthplace are noted in a letter that comes with the blouse. Perfect and textbook garment to restore to ones personal taste.
