Excellent pre war M1910 pattern mess kit in good used condition. The tall pre war mess kit is nicely marked RZM M6/1/38 which indicates production in 1938. Unlike most of the tall pre war mess kits with black paint, this one is finished with green paint (Feldgrau) which indicates this example could have been used to troops of the Waffen-SS. Excellent example in great used condition!

Excellent aluminium Waffen-SS EM/NCO buckle in good, combat used condition. The belt buckle is clearly marked “RZM 822/37 SS” which indicates that this pre war example was produced in 1937 by a still unknown manufacturer (822). The buckle shows traces of usage and is a clearly combat used example! Excellent pre war produced aluminium Waffen-SS belt buckle!

Excellent set of early war production (1940) issue jackboots or Knöbelbecher in an aesthetic bright brown colour. The sole clearly shows the marking 40 which indicates that this matching pair of jackboots was produced in 1940. The boots are not or hardly worn and only show some minor traces of age, the boots are complete with all of its wartime applied metal hardware on both the soles. The boots retain their very nice bright brown colour which would look perfect on any mannequin. The issue jackboots come in a nice large size 29 1/2 which translates roughly to a modern European size 44+ which would easily fit most if not all modern mannequins! Excellent pair of textbook 1940 dated brown issued jackboots!

Rare and textbook matching pair of Waffen-SS ‘Totenkopf’ collar tabs in salty, uniform removed condition. The tabs no longer retain the metal rank pips but the traces of these pips are clearly visible and could be restored if wanted. These were bought by me, straight from the grandson of a Dutch resistance member who collected ‘souvenirs’ at the end of the war in and around the town of Breda. The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A salty but original set, one that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!

Rare early SS-VT sleeve eagle in the textbook, early hammerhead design. Typical early or pre war example with black backing with remnants of the original RZM label. Super scarce bird that one was bought by me, straight from the grandson of a Dutch resistance member who collected ‘souvenirs’ at the end of the war in and around the town of Breda. The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A salty but original set, one that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!

Rare mid to late war matching pair of shoulderstraps for a Waffen-SS EM, with rayon piping and typical zigzag edged finish. The pair is in untouched, as found condition and would be a great addition to any combat worn field blouse!

Original Waffen-SS Deathcard to Franz Obermeier killed in action 18.8.44 during the hard fightings in Warschau.

A very nice and unissued  late war Gebirgsjäger anorak Jacket (Windbluse) marked 1942 Carl Becker Koblenz Grösse II. These reversible camouflage garments are waterproofed and meant for the Ski- und Gebirgsjäger. The garment is in a very nice and large size fitting all modern mannequins.

Excellent late war produced oak leaf camouflaged Zeltbahn such as issued to Waffen-SS troops. The Zeltbahn is a typical late war construction and is complete with most if not all of its factory sewn buttons and ropes. The colours are still vivid and sharp! The Zeltbahn has a L formed stitched repair and one grommet has been hand repaired by a brass spare. Nice Waffen-SS oak leaf Zeltbahn in good used condition!

Rare original white winter camouflage smock marked Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt. The smock is in unissued condition and in a good medium to large size. Rare to find original winter garment!

Excellent most likely pre war long Gasmaske strap in mint, unissued condition. Typical early construction with aluminium hardware. Hard to find a early produced short strap as a spare in this condition!

Excellent, field worn tunic for a Oberfeldwebel der Jägertruppen. The garment is in good, worn condition with loads of character. The breast eagle is period zig zag sewn through the lining. The collar is a period modification which were popular amongst NCO’s. The shoulderstraps are period privately purchase examples. The breast pocket retains its Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz that was period affixed. A nice garment with loads of character!

Canadian battledress, as worn by a British soldier serving in the Corps of Royal Signals in the 7th Armoured Division. The jacket is in good, worn condition with wartime sewn insignia. The insignia consist of the flashes of the Corps of Royal Signals and the insignia for the 7th Armoured Division. Army Council Instruction 1207 dated 9.9.44 changed the wording from Royal Corps of Signals to Royal Signals which indicates the sewing of the insignia in September 1944 earliest.
Most probably this garment was worn by a radio operator or despatch rider.  The Canadian Battledresses were often worn by British troops as its quality wool was preferred over the British wool. The Battledress is a nice size 10 and would be hard to upgrade. Unlike many Battledresses on the market; this one shows character and actual field wear which would be very hard to upgrade!

Excellent late war produced pouch for the Z.m.P (Zielschablone mit Planzeiger) or target template with plan pointer. Sadly only one of the grids is present, this one grid is beautifully marked bvu 1943. the closing flap has torn off around the press studs and the press studs are no longer functional! Nice red/brown coloured press studs. The pouch has been made out of Ersatz-material and is nicely marked bvu which indicates production by Franz Kuhlmann. Nice example for display purpose or to fill a map case!
