Stunning and textbook named single decal Waffen-SS M42 helmet marked ckl64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a spectacular example for a Waffen-SS m42 helmet in very good condition. The dome stamp is clearly visible. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original factory finish and decal. The hemet is a untouched example with its original named liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a nice large size 64 with a nice 57 size liner. The helmet retains its period factory applied textbook ET style runic decal up to 95%. Really a stunning example of one of the most iconic pieces out there!

Textbook late war Heer EM Panzer wrap with its original insignia. The garment is a textbook late war example lined in grey rayon. The garment was stocked at the Wurzburg depot with its typical lines between the size markings. The maker marking of this wrap is RB.Nr. 1/1001/0209 which indicates production by
Lieferungs unternehmen Kleidermacher Aktiengesellschaft Wien IV / 56 Schmalzhofgasse 28 in Wien-Josephstadt. The BeVo breast eagle was factory sewn trough the lining originally but has been neatly restored with a hand stitch. The wrap is complete with original resewn rayon piped collar tabs and wool piped shoulderstraps which are virtually impossible to find – and are not for sale separately. There are three award loops and a Iron Cross II Klasse ribbon. The wrap was made from late war wool of which the right sleeve shows signs of coarse wool being used complete with wood splinters in the wool. The size is a medium to large which would be good for a modern militaria mannequin. The garment is a beautiful example in good condition that would be hard to upgrade!

Extremely rare, original, unissued condition British made Jumpsuit for use with the British SOE (Special Operations Executive) or US OSS(Office of Strategic Services). These jumpsuits, nick named ‘Striptease suits’ were worn on top of civilian clothing by secret agents dropped over occupied territory. These suits were to be worn during the jump and immediately discarded after. These coveralls are made in a heavy duck with hand screened camouflage pattern. Most of these rare coveralls found post war use as tank coveralls where the back pad pouch on the back was removed and a hood added. This is a unissued and unmodified example in perfect condition with three of its original zippers in working condition. There is not another one on the market where they are only rarely offered. For sure one of the most rare items I’ve ever had the chance to offer. A museum piece!

Anti partisan badge in Silver – C.E. Juncker, Berlin. Late war type 4 zinc Bandenkampfabzeichen with wide pin setup and no cut out holes between the snakes. Silver wash finished example that remains in unworn condition. Shows about 70% of the finish still remaining. These silver examples are nearly always found with completely faded finish making it difficult to judge the grade. This being an exceptionally well preserved example that can therefor be considered very rare. This APB was brought home by a US soldier after the war and taken from his estate. The pick up story is unknown, however the unworn appearance suggest this was grabbed from left over stock at the end or after the war. Extremely difficult to find an honest silver example with this much finish!

Rare original Heer Panzer wrap for a Hauptmann der Panzertruppen. The Wrap is in very good, lightly worn condition. The wrap has been lightly shortened which is typical for officer worn Panzer wraps. The Panzer wrap has full original insignia which look to be hand applied which also would be typical for a personally modified yet textbook issue example. The wrap is dated ST 41 and manufactured by Mouns & Co. The Wrap is a rare and textbook example in very good condition that would be very hard to upgrade!

A superb(!) example of the first type M38 paratrooper helmet to follow the pre war double decal model in 1940. First issued in 1940 it still has the early aluminum liner and a low lot number 719. Nicely marked ET68 indicating production by Eisen- u. Huettenwerke, Thale, Harz. The helmet has a size 68 shell and a large size 58 liner. The liner is the early aluminum type with light grey padding material. The helmet retains all 4 of its original early type vented bolts and their nuts. This is probably one of the first helmets to be finished in feldgrau with a single decal in 1940. Surely the best M38 paratrooper helmet we’ve ever had on offer!

Stunning NS64 M35 double decal helmet in excellent condition. The helmet retains its factory applied decals and paint up to 99%. The helmet retains its factory installed reinforced liner and 1940 dated chinstrap. The helmet is a choice example that would be virtually impossible to upgrade!

Outstanding unissued matching M44 dot pattern Waffen-SS Erbsentarnmuster camouflage marked Betr. Ra. The blouse is a nice unissued example with all originally sewn buttons and strong contrasting Erbsentarn colours. Nicely marked Betr. Ra. indicating production by Betriebswerk Ravensbrück (Texled). The jacket has some small holes due to storage through the years. Otherwise its in mint unissued condition! The trousers are in equal condition without holes or wear. One of the leg ties is incomplete. The trousers have all originally sewn buttons. The trousers are also marked Betr. Ra. and match the jacket in pattern and camouflage, they would instantly dress a mannequin! Finding a loose jacket or loose trousers can be done, but finding a minty maker matching set is extremely difficult!

Scarce original second pattern Waffen-SS Oak camouflage pattern cover in unissued condition. The cover retains all of its originally sewn loops and vibrant colours in the camouflage pattern. The cover is photographed on a size 64 shell indicating a good average size. The cover is a typical late war example with V-shaped rocker clip reinforcements with steel rocker clips. The cover is in very good, unissued condition that would be very hard to upgrade.

Original EU-Deactivated MP43 assault gun, deactivated to the current eu specifications, legal to own within the European Union; a piece from my personal collection!

Rare EU deactivated MP43 marked qlv / cos indicating production by AYF or Erma. The MP43 is the model produced before the MP44 and STG-44. The MP43 is a typical late war product with several parts manufactured in the Merze Werke and the Erma Werke. This is a typical late war feature and it results in the typical multi tone finish on the MP43. Hence the different finishes on the gun which are typical for a late piece like this. The MP43 has no moving parts except for the action cover, fire select switch and its safety. It comes with its original leather sling. A nice and rare to find piece that would be very hard to replace!

Excellent and impossible to upgrade heer M40 tropical field cap marked Carl Halfar 1940. The cap retains its factory sewn insignia original to the cap, the application is typical for this maker. The cap is nicely marked Carl Halfar 1940 in the size 55. The cap is constructed exactly how it should for this maker. This is one of the rarer and most desirable caps, in the most desirable condition and green Waffenfarbe for Panzergrenadiere. The cap has a period applied leather sweatband marked C. Pose Wehrausrustungen 1940. The cap was probably issued, never worn and or sent home immediately. This is the best tropical field cap I’ve ever had the pleasure to offer, a must have for any Afrikakorps collector

Rare original Waffen-SS camouflage smock in Oak leaf or Eichenlaubmuster in good used condition marked 329 in the left spring pocket flap. The smock is probably the last model of camouflage smock to be developed for the Waffen-SS. These smocks where made from a narrower bolt of material as used on the ‘4-Panel’ Zeltbahns constructed with separately sewn corners. The material used is very thin, if you hold it against the light you can look through it which reflects the late war ‘quality’ the Waffen-SS was dressed with. These smocks where most probably made between 1944 and 1945. The condition of the smock is with wear; there are a few small damages and some of the stitching is damaged. The smock retains the full original tunneled elastic but is no longer functional. I have seen a couple of mint examples of these smocks; but this is the first actually worn example I’ve seen. If you’re after a rare Waffen-SS combat worn Eichenlaubmuster camouflage smock; this is it!
