A textbook Heer M40 single decal helmet marked Q64 indicating production by Quist. The helmet is complete with its original factory fitted liner named Obgefr. Lienert and its original full length chinstrap marked Bielefeld 1941. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original factory paint and 95% of its decal. All in all a very nice helmet in very good condition!

Nice original Erkennungsmarke marked 11.J.R.9 indicating Infanterie Regiment 9. The back of the Erkennungsmarke is named Tober.

This Lico Wirtschaftkasten was one of the most luxuous pieces of private purchase pocket litter. This set was commonly gifted to sons going to war, bought by officers or bought at barracks stores. This kit basicly had all the items a soldier would need to keep clean and organised. The Mica is a basic set of period personal items and was designed to fit inside the M31 messkit. This Lico type is the Reichswehr variant which fits in the higher pre war messkit.

Nice early bayonet frog in good used condition.

Rare original DRK issue chocolate tin in very good condition. One of the rarest issue chocolate rations to find!

Superb US M1 helmet with the rare first pattern St. Clair helmet liner in near mint condition. The rare type first pattern St. Clair liner of this helmet is featured in a book which I can highly recommend;  M-1 Helmet, Pieter Oosterman, 2007 (pages 146 and 148-149 of the 2007 Limited Edition and pages 154 and 156-157 of the 2010 Schiffer Edition). The liner is a textbook example with full rayon suspension and square washers. The shell is a textbook M1 McCord fixed bale example with early cast raised brass buckle. The shell is marked 218A. The helmet is a very nice example that would be very hard to upgrade. Surely one of the rarest liners to find, especially in this condition!

Nice and rare original Tornister with webbing carrying straps. The Tornister is in good condition with all straps and the messkit compartment.

Exceptional pre war Austrian stone grey or Steingrautrousers in near mint condition. Typical pre war trousers that where captured, issued and used in the 1940 campaign. Due to large uniform shortages the stores of the Austrian army where massively looted and redistributed by the German army in 1940. These trousers are in near mint condition and are a good medium size fitting for most if not all modern sized mannequin. The wool is in perfect condition without only one or two small moth holes. All buttons are present and originally sewn. The trousers are a perfect example for a textbook 1940 campaign mannequin and would be very hard to upgrade – if you have been looking out for pre war stone grey trousers for a mannequin; this is it!
