Wehrmacht

Beautiful crushed Luftwaffe visor in strong worn condition. The visor retains a nice crushed shape which was obtained by removing the internal stiffener. This was a popular modification by many soldiers and officers in all branches. The visor looks to have a resewn eagle but is otherwise untouched. Very rare to find a original crushed Luftwaffe visor!

Original cable for the optical reticle lighting for the optics such as the MGZ40. This example has a bakelite connector/connecting hood which is the first time I have ever encountered this! The cable is in good supple condition and is a rare piece to find, especially in good supple condition. Whilst the connecting hood is easy to find, a good supple cable is very hard!

Mint Hitlerjugend buckle with its original factory paper RZM tag. The buckle itself is nicely marked RZM M4/27 which indicates production by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid. Can’t be upgraded!

Refinished(!) late war Waffen-SS belt buckle made by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid. These buckles where made later in the war and came unmarked. A textbook buckle that has been repainted, but displays very well.

Rare Steel Waffen-SS belt buckle by RODO in green paint. The buckle is a textbook RODO design and manufacture, the catch and prongs are typical for this maker. Textbook buckle in great condition!

Textbook original iron cross second class or Eisernez Kreuz 2. Klasse marked “27” which indicates production by Anton Schenkl’s Nachf. (Nachfolger Maria Schenkel) Wien. Nice piece with the right amount of patina!

 

Excellent political issued cross strap/shoulder strap. The strap is in very good condition, the nicely chocolate brown coloured leather is supple and the hardware retains almost all of its gold gilded finish. Nicely marked RZM Kernstück L2/642/36. Nice example in good condition!

Private purchase or political Y-straps as worn by Waffen-SS troops early in the war. Mostly unknown, but these Y-straps can be seen on a wide range of pictures of the early 1940 campaigns.

Rare original Pioneer tool pouch marked Karl Busse Mainz 1940. Textbook pouch with internal dividers!

Repainted original Wasserschützpolizei belt buckle in used condition. The buckle is repainted, but the original golden finish shows underneath.

Excellent textbook green coloured British helmet net. This is the green coloured pattern with small holes and thick thread. The drawstring is made out of the same coloured thread as the rest of the helmet net. Nice example which would be perfect on a British MKII helmet!

General purpose dust goggles or “Umbral” goggles as patented and produced by Carl Zeiss, Jena. The construction of the goggles and the pouch indicates that this is a late war production set. The goggles itself are made out of brown coloured leather.  The pouch seems to be made out of a brown pressed paper Ersatz material. Nice example of dust goggles!

Textbook pre war P08 Luger holster in good used condition. The holster is nicely marked Karl Böcker, Waldbröl 1939. The holster is in good used condition without any damages, it shows a lot of overall wear. Nice and typical P08 Luger holster!

Excellent and matching set of reversible Splittertarn mittens which should have been issued with the parka and trousers (Winteranzug). The mittens are nicely marked with a clear ink stamp: RBNr. 0/0381/0046. nice set in good condition!

Excellent and matching set of Waffen-SS reversible Erbsentarn mittens which should have been issued with the parka and trousers (Winteranzug). These mittens are reversible to the white side and to the Erbsentarn camouflaged side. The mittens are in unissued condition but show some damage and traces from storage over the years. Hard to find pair!

Very nice, late war black pebbled leather mapcase. No markings can be found but these could have been worn away by usage. The mapcase is nicely named: Falkert Sanders, Elisabetstr. 28. Interesting original mapcase which has late war production features!

Excellent and (over)complete chocolate brown Luftwaffe issued mapcase in very good condition. The mapcase is complete with its original and factory matching clear insert, a map (Rundbild Nr. 175) and 7 different coloured A.W. Faber pencils. The mapcase as well as the clear insert are nicely marked Joseph Moll, Goch 1937 which indicates early production in 1937! The mapcase itself is marked L.B.A.(B) 37 which indicates the mapcase was accepted for usage by the Luftwaffe. Choice Luftwaffe issue mapcase in very good condition with a lot of period contents!

Excellent pre war pattern breadbag in good used condition. This example features all the typical signs of an early breadbag: leather loop reinforcements, aluminium hardware, high quality painted leather and of course the grey/green coloured fabric.
