US M1936 Musette bag in good used condition marked LUCE Manufacturing & Co. 1942.

Excellent late war M31 Rucksack with various interesting features such as Italian captured leather and blue coloured fabric. The Rucksack is nicely marked 0/0378/0005 44 which indicates production by an unknown maker in 1944. Notice the very unusual usage of the captured (green) Italian leather in the construction of this Rucksack. Almost all the straps and leather parts are made out of this typical Italian leather. This type of captured leather can sometimes be encountered on MG tool pouches but this is the first time I have encountered it in the construction of a Rucksack. Very nice and interesting late war Rucksack in very good condition!

Late war Heer M31 Splittertarn Zeltbahn with parts of Italian camouflage in good used condition. Despite the faded colours this example still has very nice and aesthetic characteristics such as the outer line of the Zeltbahn which features an almost reddish colour and the multiple parts of Italian Telo Mimetico camouflage in the construction. All the original applied buttons seem to be carefully removed, the grommets and the ropes are still intact and in place. Nice and interesting example!

Unissued grey reversible winter parka. The parka is a textbook example with period whitewashed white camouflage side. The garment has had some of the stitchings of the buttonholes undone; otherwise its mint and perfect and impossible to upgrade.

Rare unissued Kriegsmarine issue lightweight Y-straps. Textbook light brown leather with grey painted hardware.

US Navy lifebelt marked NXSS 16847 dated April 30 1943. 

These cutlery sets were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The set is in good used condition and would normally be one of the standard breadbag items! All the parts of this example is are marked W.S.M. 43 which indicates production by Walter Solbach Metallbau in 1941 except for the can opener which is marked F.W.W. 41 which indicates production by Friedrich Wilke Westig/W., Solingen (Rostfrei). Nice non-matching set in good condition!

Textbook early war MG34 ammunition box or Patronenkasten 34 made out of aluminium with field grey coloured factory paint. The factory paint still retains for around 85%. This ammo box is nicely marked with an WaA and the date 1940 which indicates this ammo box was produced in 1940 specifically for the MG34. Nice and original early war MG34 ammunition box!

Rare original Flemish Begunstigende Ledenspeld SS-BL membership pin that was made by A. Zoll in Antwerp, Belgium.

Rare original Belgian made Heer EM visor. The visor is in good condition in a nice size 57. The visor retains its period applied Belgian made insignia with typical soldered hardware. The cap was made with typical Belgian wool and thin piping. Rare variant cap in great condition!

Set of Wehrmacht issue dust goggles in their original pouch (Augenschützer42 mit Trageumschlag). The German army used and issued a lot of different types of goggles and glasses to its troops. Under which these in 1942 developed dust goggles which were inexpensive and easily mass produced. These were issued in two different types, with coloured lenses for protection of the sun as well, and with clear lenses for only dust protection. This set consist out of 3 pair of goggles with coloured lenses and one normal pair of goggles, together in the original pouch. Nice set of dust goggles!

Nice “early” aluminium constructed 6×30 Dienstglas in good used condition. The Dienstglas is complete with the rain cover, button attachment and the carrying strap which are as spares hard to find! The Dienstglas is nicely marked with the serial number 19663 and with the code ddx. which indicates production by Voigtlaender u. Sohn AG, Braunschweig. Sadly the Strichplatte is missing out of the lens or has never been applied which is quite normal for this manufacturer. Nice 6X30 Dienstglas in good used condition complete with all the accessories!

Excellent and impossible to upgrade heer M40 tropical field cap marked Carl Halfar 1940. The cap retains its factory sewn insignia original to the cap, the application is typical for this maker. The cap is nicely marked Carl Halfar 1940 in the size 55. The cap is constructed exactly how it should for this maker. This is one of the rarer and most desirable caps, in the most desirable condition and green Waffenfarbe for Panzergrenadiere. The cap has a period applied leather sweatband marked C. Pose Wehrausrustungen 1940. The cap was probably issued, never worn and or sent home immediately. This is the best tropical field cap I’ve ever had the pleasure to offer, a must have for any Afrikakorps collector

Rare original mid to late war M38 paratrooper helmet chinstraps. Often cut, missing or damaged on M38 paratrooper helmets, this would be a perfect substitute. All 12 eyelets are made in aluminum, the buckle is painted steel with working female presstud. Both male press studs are present. The chinstrap is supple and would easily add to any incomplete paratrooper helmet. Impossible to find spare!

Rare original ZF41 scope with its original third pattern tan case marked jvb. Still retaining up to 95% of its original factory tan paint and comes with its rare original brush. The scope is a textbook piece with original mount and both of the original sunshades. In a sea of fakes, here is a real one in unissued condition.

Excellent late war lightweight Y-strap which was intended for usage by the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Kavallerie (Heer) but later on saw usage by all branches of the German forces. This example is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0990/0204 which indicates a still unknown manufacturer. Excellent example in good used condition!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0485/0002 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!
