Wehrmacht

Textbook leather K98 bayonet frog in stone mint, unissued condition. The frog is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0566/0015 which indicates production by a still unknown manufacturer. Hard to upgrade, textbook example!

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!

Original ZF41 scope marked CXN indicating production by Emil Busch. The scope is complete but needs to be assembled; the thread in the end piece needs cleaning prior. Probably a 10 minute job for a skilled machinist but I can’t.

Textbook P08 Luger holster in very good used condition. The holster is nicely dated 1938.

Untouched Heer M43 field cap with period sewn trapezoid. Out of all the M43 field caps I have sold through the years; this is by far one of the most interesting ones. The cap is in untouched, as found condition and has not been cleaned. Interestingly enough; the cap has a set of three Gefreiter chevrons sewn inside the peak of the cap as a reinforcement. This is a wartime modification and retains the same wear and grime as the rest of the cap. Another interesting wartime modification is a repair to the top button which has lost its ring but has been resewn through two holes punched in the centre. There is some moth damage to the back and the side of the cap, otherwise it’s a great study object.

Heer issue signal whistle made from horn 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.

Waffen-SS BeVo cap skull in used condition. Hard to find as a spare!

Textbook Luftwaffe dagger by Eickhorn in good used condition. The scabbard has a small crack in one of the rings but sits without movement. Typical second model Luftwaffe dagger!

Textbook Kreta cufftitle in very good condition. The cufftitle shows little to no wear and is in full length. Hard to upgrade!

Rare Infanterie regiment list cufftitle with silver braid which most probably indicates a NCO or officers version. The first time I’ve seen one with silver in stead of white rayon braid, hard to find example in very good, uniform removed condition!

Very nice early M31 breadbag in very good condition. This model is sometimes referred to as M40 (not the original designation) which is a combination of the olive fabric with early features such as aluminium hardware and the leather reinforcements. Nice example!
