Wehrmacht

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!

A very nice original Waffen-SS Belt buckle marked RZM155/40 ᛋᛋ indicating production by Assmann. The buckle retains the original finish over 95% and also the original paper RZM label. A excellent A-grade buckle for your advanced collection!

A nice untouched EM/NCO M42 field cap. The cap retains its wartime hand applied cocade and eagle. The cap is in good worn condition and shows signs of use. The nap of the wool still remains at most places. The shadowing of the unused parts of wool is obvious and natural. The size of the cap is roughly a 57/58. A beautiful untouched cap, really!

A nice early MP38 u. MP40 pouch with the D-ring in the top corner. The pouch is in very good, lightly used condition. Nicely marked gaq 41 indicating production by Otto Stephan, Leder- u. Lederwarenfabrik, Muehlhausen. A great grey MP38 u. MP40 pouch!

A very nice original light brown leather holster for the FN made Hi Power pistol or Pistole 640(b). The holster is marked cgn 4 indicating production by Rohrbacher Lederfabrik, Josef Poeschels Soehne, Rohrbach. The holster is in mint condition.

Perfect pre war M31 messkit marked HRE 38 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The messkit retains its original factory paint up to 99% and would be impossible to upgrade.

A nice set of original Zeltbahn accessories. Exactly the amount as was issued to every soldier with a single M31 Zeltbahn.

A nice original Steel tabbed Kriegsmarine belt buckle marked Dr. Franke & Co 1941. Tabbed steel Kriegsmarine belt buckles are hard to find and this one is in good, used condition!

If you have been looking for a matching M43 uniform here is your chance. A M43 field blouse with Keilhosen for a Oberfeldwebel der Infanterie. The tunic is in very good, lightly used condition complete with a whistle with cord, a set of shoulder straps and bandage in the pocket. The collar tabs and Unteroffizierstresse are machine applied. The breast eagle is handsewn. In my opinion all insignia are wartime sewn to the tunic!
The tunic is a nice large size fitting most mannequins easily. It has not been shortened or altered like many other tunics. The tunic has one or two small moth holes that have been repaired. The tunic is marked WB44 indicating the depot of Würzburg. It seems the tunic has hardly been worn and retains most of the nap in the wool!

The Keilhosen are equally a large mannequin size and are also marked WB44. They are in light worn condition and have a few moth holes. The trousers retain their original strings at the bottom and are a very good colour match to the tunic.

It is very hard to find a model, size, colour, and rank or branch appropriate matching set in a large size and good condition! This is the first time I see a tunic match with a pair of trousers and I’ll most probably regret selling this set from my collection!

A well worn tunic for a Oberleutnant in Infanteriegeriment 64. A custom tailored tunic with handsewn details. The insignia are handsewn to the tunic and show the same aging as the tunic itself. Stitching of the bottom of the swastika is a bit loose but firm, but no serious damages to be noted. The tunic is a snug medium fit that would be a nice base to display awards.

Mid war German helmet net made of rough, brown string. Unlike the late war variant this mid war type is hard to find! The helmet net would easily compliment any German army helmet. This early type of camouflage net is very hard to find!

Hard to find spares in good condition. Nicely marked 43 bmj on the strap!

A very nice late war 6×30 power binoculars or Dienstglas in yellow colour. These late war binoculars is fitted with its original strap, rain shield and late war button flap. The binoculars are usable but could be cleaned. The Strichplatte is not visible. A very nice pair of late war binoculars still featuring most of its wartime yellow paint complete with the rare single stud button flap in untouched, uncleaned condition.

A stunning two tone camouflage helmet in very good used condition. The camouflage has a lot of character in the paint and nice strong colours that are even better in hand. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap. It’s been named in the skirt but the names have been scratched out. One looker original camouflage helmet really!

A very scarce original low turret tan sniper scope case marked jvb. Still retaining up to 40% of its original factory tan paint. In a sea of fakes, here is a real one in obvious, combat used condition!

Nice matching pair in good condition. Sadly the dividers inside the individual partitions have been removed. Still great for a mannequin!

A great original buckle in the rare transitional variant with the eagle facing the left. The buckle is in mint condition. The left facing buckle was only made between January and March 1936. A rare and desirable buckle that is a must have for every buckle collector!

A late war M44 trouser belt in good condition. These trouser belts where issued with a pair of M44 trousers and are impossible to find as a spare. Nicely marked 0/0390/032? and a large size 110.
