Three mint and matching equipment straps maker marked Franz Brehme Walsrode. Superb matching set that would be hard to find separately!

US M1 fixed bale McCord helmet with Inland liner. The shell is marked 63B which is a very low lot number which indicates a most probably production in November/December 1941. The cover is a nice first pattern example in good worn condition with lots of character. The cover shows natural wear and patina matching to the helmet and its liner. The helmet is a nice example of a early M1 helmet with its original liner and cover!

These Y-straps are made in the Ghetto of Lodz, Poland which the Germans renamed into “Litzmannstadt”. They are made using parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent these for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. Y-straps, breadbags, A-frames and rucksacks are a few of the items made in Litzmannstadt. A very rare pair of Y-straps – for sure the best pair I’ve had!

Textbook Kriegsmarine Colani Jacke in good issued condition complete with all insignia. The garment

Excellent reversible Waffen-SS Oak-b or Beringtes Eichenlaubmuster camouflage pattern. There are two small period repairs on the back of the trousers, one or two missing buttons and the tie straps on the top are replaced. Otherwise a near mint garment in a rare camouflage pattern!

A great original buckle in the rare transitional variant with the eagle facing the left. The buckle comes together with the belt it was found on that is in the same condition. The left facing buckle was only made between January and March 1936. A rare and desirable set that is a must for every buckle collector!

Beautiful tabbed steel Heer belt buckle maker marked and dated Berg & Nolte 1942.

Stunning M18 transitional single decal Heer helmet. The helmet retains up to 99% of its original finish and decal. The helmet received two reworks; one in apple green with two decals which was reworked around 1942 to ’40 specs with rough textured paint and a ‘mad faced’ Gustav Peiniger toned heer decal. The helmet comes with its original liner and originally attached pre war Czech chinstrap. The helmet had its lugs wartime removed, most probably to save weight. The helmet is a nice example with a very rare decal!
