US Navy wet weather trousers with suspenders with label marked NXSS 23392. These trousers are in the size large fitting most if not all mannequins.

Brown 1945 dated rucksack. This example is pictured on page 44 in Ausrüstung Volume 2 by Roly Pickering. This is either. a very late war ‘last ditch’ pattern general issue rucksack or a immediate post war produced example. These rucksacks were found in a small batch some years ago that has dried out ever since. The rucksack is marked ’45 and RBNR inside the backstrap reinforcement. The rucksack is made with brown paramilitary cloth and hardware in the typical brown paint. Interesting late war Rucksack in unissued condition!

Rare untouched MG34 and MG42 ammunition case in period field applied winter camouflage paint. The case retains up to 90% of its period applied winter camouflage paint. The case was found, as is, with a natural rust bleed through the white paint on the closing latch. Underneath the white paint there is a Red Cross to be observed which indicates this case was in use by a Sanitäter at some point. Exceptional and rare original example that is in very good condition.

Textbook US Compass with its original impregnated pouch. The compass is made by Superior Magneto Corp. and is still fully functional.

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 one pair of goggles with coloured lenses and one normal pair of goggles, together in the original pouch. The pouch is nicely marked gng which indicates production by Auer Gesellschaft AG, Guben. Nice set of dust goggles!

Nice original and most likely combat used brown coloured P08 Luger holster. The holster is nicely dated and produced in 1939 which can be clearly seen by the high quality leather. The holster is marked and made by O. Reichel, Lengefeld. Honest P08 Luger Holster in good used condition!

A nice original German cavalry saddle bag or Packtasche 34 in good used condition. These packs where hung on the saddle and worn on the back when dismounted. It was the Cavalrist rucksack. This example is nicely marked grz 1943 which indicates production by Gebr. Krueger, Lederwarenfabrik, Breslau. The pack is in great supple condition and is made from high quality smooth and pebbled leather. Hard to upgrade imo!

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!

Textbook and rare original M40 helmet marked SE64 indicating production by Sachsichse Emaillierwerke AG. The helmet retains its original white winter camouflage overpaint up to 75%. The helmet retains its factory installed liner which shows signs of being blood soaked. Combined with a cut chinstrap, it indicates it was removed from a soldier killed in action. The helmet is a rare and fantastic original winter camouflage helmet that would be very hard to upgrade. With most of these on the market being fake examples; this is one of the few original ‘one-looker’ winter camouflage helmets that I have had the pleasure to offer!

Named or personalized Y-straps are hard to come by and personalized equipment is always wanted! Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent example in great used condition!
