Wehrmacht

Textbook, Waffen-SS issued M36 field blouse with period sewn insignia. The jacket was found in a household clearing near Kassel, in 2021 with two other SS NCO jackets. The garment is in untouched condition with wartime sewn sleeve eagle and blank collar tab. The base garment is a early example made for the the Heer,  issued within the Ranks of the Waffen-SS. The jacket has been in my collection but has otherwise not been in another collection before. The garment would be easily restored with a runic tab and shoulderstraps or simply left as is, a excellent early and combat worn Waffen-SS field blouse!

Typical US GI type type lighter with textbook crackle finish in good condition.

Rare, early (pre 1942) manufactured MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouch which is easily recognizable by the D-ring which is sewn in to the upper left corner. The magazine pouch is in excellent, light worn condition. The manufacturer of these pouches is still unidentified. Nice early example in very good condition.

I have added a comparison shot with another MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouch in my inventory which is not factory matching, but is a nice addition to this very pouch.

Rare original black SS EM/NCO visor in good used condition. Excellent untouched example with period applied early skull Tombak skull by Deschler which is well embedded in the cloth. The visor is a nice size 58 and retains its diamond shield, the VA1938 stamp and its original label with RZM manufacturer 195 which indicates the maker Heinrich Wille. The visor retains its original lining and partially detached sweatband. The visor was at some point liberated of its eagle but is otherwise in great condition and is a sure one looker that would be hard to upgrade!

Nice 1937 dated tabbed aluminium Heer belt buckle marked Dransfeld & Co., Menden/W 1937. Nice used example!

Textbook brown coloured leather holster as issued for the Walther PP or PPK. This example is made by AKAH, D.R.G.M. and their makers logo is still partially visible. Nice detail is that there are two different shades of brown used in the construction. Excellent holster which would look great on an officers set up!

Rare K98 bayonet frog almost completely constructed out of pebbled leather. The frog is in good used condition and the closing strap is fragile. This is the first time I personally have ever encountered a bayonet frog where the complete body is made out of pebbled leather, hard to upgrade!

Nice late war set of 2 matching equipment straps in mint, unissued condition. Both straps are marked with 0/0378/0007 and are in completely matching condition. Excellent matching set of RBNr. marked straps in great condition which would look perfect on a mannequin!

Excellent named equipment strap with the quick release strap. The strap is in close to mint condition and is nicely marked Fritz Aloewoz, Berlin 1942. Nice strap which features a name on the inside.

Typical wartime “Knijpkat” torch. These flashlights where made utilizing forced labour from Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch. Unlike most of the wartime used flashlights the “knijpkat” doesn’t have a battery but uses a small internal dynamo. The mechanism is still in great condition and the torch still works!

Excellent late war carrying strap for the MGZ40 optical case. Complete strap, easily attached and detached. Hard to find as a spare and virtually always missing from the box!

Textbook US Army issue Prohylactic kit in unused condition.

US 8th Armored division patch in scrapbook removed condition.

Textbook US BAR belt in near mint condition.

Uncommon and large US EGW (E.G. Waterman) fighting knife with original leather scabbard.

Original M3 shoulder holster made by Enger-Kress. The holster is in very good and supple condition with working press studs.
