Wehrmacht

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

A very nice tan camouflaged ammunition box for the MG34 and MG42. As the Germans occupied Czechoslovakia they took over most of their military stocks including weapons and equipment. This box for the Czech ZB 37 machine gun or MG 37 (t) originally had a slope welded inside to stack the ZB ammunition properly. This slope was removed by the Germans and the leftover holes filled in prior to a tan repaint.

A rare box to encounter in very good condition with most of the wartime tan camouflage!

A very nice original late war mapcase marked RBNr. 0/0250/0692 under the closing flap. The mapcase is in good condition and comes with its original carrying strap.

The Italian army messkit (Gavetta Modello 1930) was a commonly seen item within the German army. Prior to re-issue in the German army they where mostly painted green by the Germans. This Italian messkit is the best one I’ve ever seen!

A very nice 1943 dated map of the Ardennes area. Lots of interesting and well known places can be seen. La Gleize / Stavelot / Baugnez / Spa / Bois Jaques and many more interesting places can be found. Nice map that belongs in a Ardennes display!

A great pair of original shoulder boards for a Oberleutnant in Infanterie Regiment 76. IR76 was a part of the 20. Infanterie Division (Mot) which was formed in 1935 and entered the war in Poland in 1939 followed by battles in The Netherlands, Belgium and France. In 1941 the conquest to the eastern front began and IR76 fought major battles at Witebsk, Smolensk, Cholm, Dnepr, Leningrad and Nowgorod. A very nice original pair of shoulder boards which seem to be field worn!

Very nice original shoulder boards for a Leutnant der Sanitätstruppen.

Nice Wehrpass to Paul Hilser, Infanterie Regiment 75. Served the complete 1940 campaign of France later to continue into the east in Denmark, Russia, and the battle for Demjansk. He was awarded the Verwundeten Abzeichen im Schwarz 4.10.42. Hilser was killed in action 10.07.1944 in Lesniaki, Ukraine.

A very nice original US Airborne garrison cap for glider infantry. The garment comes with the wartime sewn glider infantry patch.

A very nice VDNS 37 marked M31 messkit indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nickelwerke/Nickel-und Stahlwerke, Schwerte. A very nice pre war messkit with 80% of its original factory paint remaining.

Very nice ointment or Salbe tin complete with 4 filled tubes.

The Daimon 2233 was one of the most used and best known Wehrmacht issued flashlights. It was produced for the Wehrmacht and hence it was made in the dark gray colour. It is in working condition! It was produced between 1936 and 1943.

Rare original US Jungle first aid pouch with most of its original contents.

Dienstglas buttoning tab or Knöpflasche dated 1937

Very nice original spare headphone or Kopffernhörer fuhr den Feldfernsprecher 33. Plugs right into the FF33 and enables a second man to listen to the conversations on the line.

Normandy deathcard to Johann Geier, Obergefreiter in Panzergrenadierregiment 2 killed in action, 14.6.44 western Villers Bocage. Judging by the area of operations it can be said that Geier most probably served in the 2. Panzerdivision or the Panzer Lehr Division. This has been further researched and his full information can be seen on the archive card. A nice detail to his photograph is that it fully shows his awards. The archive card showing more information is not a part of the offering.

Typical late or immediate post war production rucksack in unissued condition. These Rucksacks were produced at the end of the war with what materials available utilizing materials such as internal suspender straps and other absolute military equipment. These rucksacks are unmarked and are produced in 1945. Whilst everyone will describe it as a ‘Last Ditch’ effort production; it is also highly plausible that these rucksacks were made as a immediate post war product in a war torn country.
