A stunning speckled brown bakelite 6×30 binocular case. Later in the war when the Germans ran out of pigment for bakelite they switched over to different fillers. Sawdust was one of the filling materials used, creating a interesting speckled finish. The brown bakelite dienstglas containers where mostly found with tan 6×30 binoculars. It seems to be that the front spring assembly and the hooks at the side have been repainted. The case is in very good, undamaged condition and has a very aesthetic and vibrant light brown colour which would nicely attribute a late war uniform setup.

Excellent late war breadbag strap marked RBNr. 0/0398/0869 in perfect condition. Hard to find a late war breadbag strap with a readable RBNr.!

Very nice Luftwaffe issue M31 pattern breadbag in good, used condition. The breadbag features a Luftwaffe acceptance stamp: L.B.A. (S) 40 which indicates this example has been issued to the Luftwaffe in 1940. This example is made to the pre war standards with leather reinforcements and aluminium hardware. Hard to find Luftwaffe issue breadbag!

Excellent late war manufactured M31 breadbag with matching carrying strap in very good used condition. The breadbag and its strap features the same marking which seems to read 1943, finding a matching strap with the breadbag is quite hard these days. If you want just one late war set this is it!

Unfinished late war breadbag made without the centre support hook. The breadbag is in excellent condition without any damages. The breadbag features typical features such as pebbled leather and steel stamped buttons. Excellent example!

Rare late war wire cleaning chain in very good condition. This fully steel chain is the last model given out with the RG34 or Reinigungsgerät 34. This steel wire type cleaning chain is textbook for the late ware tan coloured RG34 kits!

Textbook pre war 1937 dated Heer overseas cap. The cap retains its typically factory handsewn insignia and is in the size 56. Nice example in pre war wool!

US Navy knife by Camillus in very good condition with its original Navy marked sheath.

US Navy KA-BAR by Camillus in good used condition.

First world war German fighting knife with unit markings in good used condition.

Nice original early manufactured K98 bayonet frog in overall good condition. The bayonet frog features high quality thick leather and aluminium hardware which are typical early features. The frog is in used condition but has no damages. The frog is marked but it has almost completely faded, it seems to be dated 1940. Nice example to match with an early bayonet!

Nice and original US Glider wings. This is a textbook example marked Sterling.

Rare Luftwaffe M43 field blouse with factory sewn breast eagle and Hermann Göring cufftitle. These jackets were issued in the final months of the war and was specifically made for the Hermann Göring division. Not do be confused with a Heer M43 field jacket, this example is a Luftwaffe made, field grey field blouse. The breast eagle is zigzag sewn in a typical fashion for these garments. The cufftitle on the sleeve is typical and also factory sewn; probably the only wartime made garment with a factory sewn cufftitle. These late war, unpiped shoulderstraps were issued with the late issue field grey four pocket Luftwaffe M43 field blouse. These straps have no piping which in my opinion is logical. Being of a field grey in stead of a Luftwaffe blue wool, it would be very hard finding shoulderstraps in matching wool colour. In my opinion these were intended for the unit to apply their own piping like the late war piped Hermann Göring collar tabs. The straps are typical late war examples with simplified construction. Similar examples with the same sewing can be found here and here. Scarce and choice piece, for sure one of the rarest Luftwaffe garments I’ve had to offer!

Textbook ZF41 front sun shield in good used condition. Hard to find spare!

Excellent first world war crank handle Ersatz bayonet by Demag. By far the best example I’ve seen of these first world war Ersatz bayonets with full original finish!

Heer issue signal whistle made from phenolic resin (Bakelite) and wood complete with its original field grey lanyard in slightly used condition. Many commands where given with whistles during combat and the use and recognition of the different signals was something most soldiers would have known. Very hard to find Heerissue whistle which would compliment almost every NCO/CO combat display.
