US Message Book M-210 Signal Corps, U.S. Army. These message books accompanied radios but were also carried in mapcases.

Excellent, based on the fabric mid war produced example of the breadbag carrying strap. Interestingly this example features the typical early/pre war stitched reinforcements on the strap itself!

Nice original rear support strap for the Tornister or Affe in good almost mint condition. These are often missing and are good to have as a spare!

Unissued sterile Sanitäter thread in glass tubes.

Extremely rare, original British made Jumpsuit for use with the British SOE (Special Operations Executive) or US OSS(Office of Strategic Services). These jumpsuits, nick named ‘Striptease suits’ were worn on top of civilian clothing by secret agents dropped over occupied territory. These suits were to be worn during the jump and immediately discarded after. These coveralls are made in a heavy duck with hand screened camouflage pattern. Most of these rare coveralls found post war use as tank coveralls where the back pad pouch on the back was removed and a hood added which is the case here. The hood would be easily restored back by removal. This is a used example in good condition with three of its original zippers. The zippers are all original to the piece, with 3 pull tabs. The zippers are in good working condition. There is not another one on the market today where they are only rarely offered. For sure one of the most rare items I’ve ever had the chance to offer. A museum piece!

M42 helmet camouflage helmet marked EF 66 indicating production by Emaillierwerke A.G., Fulda. The helmet retains its factory fitted liner and period placed chinstrap. The three liner rivets sit embedded in its camouflage overpaint. The helmet features a green rough overpaint with a red brown wash on top. The helmet is named inside to Oberleutnant Kügler which is a high and uncommon rank to find in any helmet. Excellent late war combat helmet named to a officer.

Nice original Luftwaffe Viertaschenrock or four pocket tunic for a Obergefreiter of the flying personnel/paratroopers or Flieger/Fallschirmjäger. The garment is nicely marked Flugzeug … Schüle Magdeburg.

Textbook non-reversible hard edged “43” Sumpftarn parka trousers or Wendehose. All buttons are present and the trousers have no damages or repairs at all. Nice light used, near mint example with strong and vivid colours that would be hard to upgrade!

Textbook pre war P08 Luger holster in used condition.

A nice original Presstoff flare pistol holster in good condition. Nicely marked fuq 1941. The holster is in good condition and still retains the small strap for the cleaning rod. The leather and Presstoff on the holster is in good supple condition and does not seem to have notable damages.

Excellent issue lanyard intended for usage with the Luftwaffe issued gravity knife. This example is the first pattern with clips on both ends of the lanyard. This example is in mint condition and seems to be unissued. Excellent Luftwaffe gravity knife lanyard which would be hard to upgrade and is virtually impossible to find!

Rare original Flemish made Waffen-SS sleeve eagle in tunic removed condition, sewn onto a piece of black wool. The eagle was glued inside a album at some point. Typical veteran souvenir!

Panzer assault badge in silver (Panzerkampfabzeichen im Silber) by Frank & Reif. The badge has a period resoldered catch, but is otherwise in very good condition.

Large period American 48 star flag size 3×5 feet. These flags are often found in mint condition but this is a nice example that shows some age.

Nice period, most probably locally made training weight in good condition. This piece was made simulating the size and weight of the Stielhandgranate 24.

US M3 Flak helmet in very good condition complete with original chinstrap.

Textbook original US M1C front seam swivel bale paratrooper helmet shell. The helmet retains up to 95% of its factory paint and factory sewn chinstraps with male press studs. Rare to find spare shell that is in my opinion easy to pair with a liner.

US Navy cold weather hood in good condition complete with buckle in the large size 7.

Original US Navy (USN) hemostatic forceps case marked M.D.-U.S.N. for Medical Department – US Navy. A nice set to complete a corpsman’s equipment or a display!
