Textbook Luftwaffe field repainted gasmask canister. The canister externally as well as internally features a most likely field applied blue Luftwaffe overpaint. The canister retains up to 90% of this period repaint, and comes with both its period affixed straps. The canister still has a paper label inside reading: “Sold. Tripolski, Nr. 87”. Excellent example!

Very nice US paratrooper wrist compass by Superior Magneto. Nicely dated and marked. These compasses where also known to been worn over the sleeve, the shoulder loops, webbing, or at the ankle over the jump boots. Wrist compasses were used both by officers and enlisted men. A very nice example that would be hard to upgrade.

Hard to find period wartime braces or trousers suspenders in very good condition. The suspenders are made by Herkules. 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!

Excellent Butcher bayonet with its original frog marked Butcher Bayonet Simson & Co Suhl 1915.

Excellent leather equipment belt in light used condition. The belt is nicely marked Gustav Vogel, Chemnitz 1941 and features some pencil writing from the owner including Feldpostnummer: “L37832”, which indicates the owner was in a Luftwaffe unit, very nice belt for further research. Perfect example in light used condition that would most likely fit most modern militaria mannequins which would be hard to upgrade!

Rare left facing Heer embroidered officers eagle in uniform removed condition. This left facing officers breast eagle is the first I have encountered and think it will be a nice match with a left facing belt buckle!

Nice original unissued Heer EM/NCO BeVo breast eagle.

Rare original dust brush for the Wehrmacht issue optical devices such as the MGZ40, ZF41 and ZF 4. The brush is in perfect condition.

Huge bronze cast Hitler bust by Ernst Seger. The large bust is photographed next to a gasmask canister to show the immense size of approximately twice life size. The bust is in good, uncleaned condition. The bust was sculpted by Ernst Seger and later cast by Lauchhammer Bildguss. The bust is a rare, large example that is very hard to obtain.

Rare Italian white topped Fascist high leader visor cap. The cap retains its period sewn hand embroided eagle and chinstrap. The cap is in very good, untouched condition with just the right amount of character. Rare original Fascist visor!

Rare first factory produced pattern MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouch in full rayon/webbing construction with square metal tips. The bottom of the pouch has a few repairs, otherwise in very good used condition.

A rare enameled M42 messkit marked WJ44.  A clean messkit, hard to upgrade!

Textbook first world war Butcher bayonet Frister & Rossmann, Berlin.

Very nice Luftwaffe issued K98 bayonet frog. This example is a typical early/pre war Luftwaffe issue made out of chocolate brown leather with aluminium rivets and a LBA marking which is a specific Luftwaffe acceptance mark.

Textbook pre war Luftwaffe K98 pouch, most probably made by Gustav Sudbrock and dated 1938. There is one cut to the lower closing leather; otherwise in fine condition.

Textbook named Kragenbinde in good worn condition.

Textbook US M3 fighting knife in good used condition. The knife is marked M3 Camillus and comes with the typical US M8 scabbard.

Nice original leather Erkennungsmarke pouch in very good condition. Would be easily matched to a Erkennungsmarke in the same condition.
