Wehrmacht

Rare original first pattern Waffen-SS reversible winter parka marked Klepper-Werke 1943, Grosse I. This is the first reversible winter parka as made and issued to the Waffen-SS. The parka is in good, lightly worn condition with a few small damages. The garment retains all buttons as far as I can see and retains its original white glass buttons on the white side.

Beautiful, untouched Heer field blouse for a Oberstleutnant in Infanterie Regiment 19 with Wiederholungsspange. The garment is in good, worn condition with period sewn insignia. The left breast pocket retains multiple period sewn award loops with award ghosting remaining. Infanterie regiment 19 played a vital role in the 1939 campaign pushing into Poland. The 10th of may 1940 it was the first unit to breach to Juliana Kanaal fortifications in the Netherlands and pushed onwards to the Scheldt. After the 1940 campaign it was sent to the eastern front and saw actions right until the end of the war. A stunning tunic in very good condition!

Very nice original privately tailored field blouse for a Spiess Hauptfeldwebel der Pioniertruppen. The garment is a beautiful period tailor made example fully made from Dutch army shelter quarter material. These shelter quarters are rare as is, and this is the first and only one I’ve seen made into a lightweight Heer tunic. The garment is in good, lightly worn condition with loads of character. Beautiful garment!

Pre war stone grey breeches in very good, lightly worn condition. Nice issue breeches which are nicely labelled on the inside!

Excellent pre war Fliegerbluse dated 1939 made by Georg Boeck & Co Berlin. A early model with adjustable back but one of the first ones with lower pockets. This is a transitional model between the pre war and wartime Fliegerbluse which shows no signs of factory sewn breast eagle which is typical for these early examples. The breast eagle affixed to the breast is in my opinion a period hand sewn example, typical wartime upgrade done by soldiers. The collar tabs are hand sewn with the prongs of the gulls piercing the collar as it should. The garment is in mint, unissued condition in a nice large size that will fit most if not all mannequins.

Original P40 pattern battledress in good worn condition. Typical wartime converted collar with added lining material. The garment has a few moth nips here and there and is nicely dated 1943 in size 9.

Nice original piece of Waffen-SS Oakleaf B cloth in very good condition. The piece has approximately a width of 16cm and a maximum hight of 11cm. Hard to find a piece of original cloth!

 

Scarce mint webbing with leather straps for the large Wehrmacht issue food container. Both straps are matching and thereby both nicely marked hck 42 which indicates production by Georg A. Lerch GmbH, Lederwaren u. Stanzwerk in 1942. These webbing carrying straps are virtually always missing from the food containers and are very hard to find as a spare, surely in good used condition! Excellent spare set to complete a food container!

Excellent and rare first pattern tropical Heer pith helmet. The pith helmet is in good used condition and is complete with both metal decals and the original leather chinstrap. The pith helmet retains its factory installed liner and is a perfect example for the tropical front collector!

Hard to find period wartime braces or trousers suspenders in very good condition. These were issued to all the troops or were privately purchased by the soldiers. Virtually all troops wore these type of suspenders and these are a must to complete a mannequin! Excellent example!

Stunning photo album made by a unknown Kriegsberichter with 55 17,6 x 11,6cm large photographs depicting the Battle of Britain and the summer of 1940 in France. A number of photographs where shot around the German airbase in D’Audembert, south of Calais which was famous for housing Werner Molders and Adolf Galland. The album shows a number of Kriegsberichter and a grave of Kriegsberichter Man, KIA at Calais 2.9.1940. The album contains 55 original large format photographs. Some are known, but most are unpublished. Judging by the quality and size I believe these shots where all made by a professional Kriegsberichter and that this album was his personal example. The album is a stunning example with a lot of highly decorated Fighter Luftwaffe Aces such as Werner Molders and Adolf Galland. Personalities as Adolf Hitler, photos of aircraft, airbases, burning and crashing aircraft, the white cliffs of dover and many other interesting photos. This is for súre the best album I’ve ever had the chance to offer.

Extremely rare and almost impossible to find piece of standard equipment with winter camouflage (Whitewash). This late war produced aluminium M31 messkit or “Kochgeschirre M 31 (Alum.)” retains up to 85% of its green olive coloured factory finish paint. The paint is covered with traces of winter camouflage in the form of Whitewash, Whitewashed equipment is very hard to find! The messkit is nicely marked OHW 44 which indicates production by Otto Honsel, Werdohl in 1944. The lid of the messkit has the owners initials HZ scratched into the surface of the paint. Excellent untouched whitewashed winter camouflaged messkit in great condition which would be impossible to upgrade!

 

Excellent original Belgian M1931 Adrian helmet with original liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a typical wartime used example with factory paint.

An excellent and extremely rare pair of pre war issued goggles. This pattern has only been produced pre war and on a smaller scale as the later pattern, finding these in good condition is almost impossible. These were pre war issued to motorcyclists of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS. The goggles are complete, undamaged and in overall good used condition. The head strap is still flexible and feels elastic and can easily be displayed on any size helmet! These goggles would make a perfect addition to an pre/early war Kradmelder display or mannequin!

Early wound badge in black or “Verwundetenabzeichen Im Schwarz” (VWA) constructed out of brass with black painted finish. These early and especially marked wound badges are hard to come by and extremely popular under collectors. This example is nicely marked with the LDO code L/16 which indicates production by Steinhauer & Lück, Lüdenscheid. Excellent  marked example! 

A very nice 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 in great condition still retaining up to 95% of it’s original finish!

Textbook early produced set of a cleaning and an oiling brush in unissued and mint condition. The cleaning brush or Reinigungsbürste is made out of brass bristles in the middle and normal bristles on both of the ends. The oiling brush or Ölbürste is made completely out of normal bristles and is a bit wider than the cleaning brush. Nice original set of two brushes which are often missing in the RG34 cleaning kit. Very nice set in good used condition which is almost impossible to find!

Excellent and rare late war fully out of steel produced RG34 cleaning chain with simplified hook. This cleaning chain is in very good condition, certainly bearing in mind that it is made of steel. Excellent example!

Rare RG34 takedown and cleaning tool or Hulschenkopfwischer, one of the accessories that is mostly missing from these cleaning kits. The takedown and cleaning tool is unmarked which is quite usual for these tools and is in overall great condition!

Original and rare dated pre war steel RG34 oiler. Authentic example marked 1937 and with WaA 440 indicating production by an unknown manufacturer. The oiler is in very good condition and has no damages or traces of rust, excellent piece!
