US army issue M1943 field jacket in strong used condition.  Medium to large size which would most likely fit any mannequin!

US army issue M1943 field jacket in strong used condition in the size 36R. The label clearly reads Goldman-Nasher Co. Inc., Sept. 12 1944. 

 

Extremely scarce original Waffen-SS Panzer crew member trousers in smooth Erbsentarn camouflage fabric. One of a handful known in the collector community; this is the pinnacle of collecting camouflage items of the utmost rarity. The trousers are in very good, IMO lightly worn condition. The garment retains all but one factory sewn buttons. There is a small period handsewn repair to the back of the seat, otherwise it’s undamaged. Both leg tie straps are intact as is the internal belt and the inside pockets. The trousers are in a good, medium to large size fitting most modern sized mannequins. The garment is marked 393 which is the only known maker for these trousers in this material and a typical Waffen-SS manufacturer code. There are some light paint stains on the trousers which don’t distract too much of the vibrant and contrast-filled colours of the Erbsentarn pattern used in the construction for these trousers. A rare opportunity to purchase real Waffen-SS camouflage Panzer trousers in smooth(!) material!

I usually don’t post items to the top; but this one deserves a spot next to the Black SS Panzer wrapper!

Original M43 field blouse for a Unterfeldwebel der Infanterie in very good condition. The garment is a nice example in lightly worn condition with a lot of nap remaining in the wool. The garment comes with period sewn Kragenlitzen and Unteroffizierstresse, but in my opinion the breast eagle is resewn. The field blouse comes with a lovely pair of matching shoulderstraps for a Unterfeldwebel. The jacket is in a good medium size, and has two award loops on the breast pocket.

Textbook issue wristwatch in good used condition. The watch is marked Recta andis serialized 561768. The wristwatch is a typical Wehrmacht issue, not private purchase piece. The watch is missing its crown and therefor can not be tested on function. The watch however still carries its original supple period strap which are mostly replaced, removed or simply damaged. A real Dienstuhr can be the finishing touch on a mannequin!

Uncommon and large US EGW (E.G. Waterman) fighting knife with original leather scabbard.

Nice and rare accessory for the FF33 field phone. This device was attached to the top of a FF33 and allowed the handset to be placed in the cradle, depressing the buttons and disconnecting the line. Basically turning the FF33 into a desk model. Produced by Ferdinand Schuchhardt, Berliner Fernsprech und Telegraphenwerk in 1937. The bakelite housing features a BAL mark which indicates this SB-Zusats is a Luftwaffe issued piece! Excellent and hard to upgrade FF33 field telephone accessory which are very hard to find!

General purpose dust goggles or “Umbral” goggles as patented and produced by Carl Zeiss, Jena. The construction of the goggles and the pouch indicates that this is a late war production set. The goggles itself are made out of brown coloured leather. T he goggles have one period repair which is almost unnoticeable! The pouch seems to be made out of a brown pressed paper Ersatz material. Nice example of dust goggles!

Very nice rare original Luftwaffe blue collar liner or Kragenbinde. These collar liners where standard in every tunic (Fliegerbluse) but are virtually always missing from the garment! Nice example with black resin button!

24 original winter parka buttons which was commonly worn by German troops. Rare to find spares!

Typical wartime “Knijpkat” torch. These flashlights where made utilizing forced labour from Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch. Unlike most of the wartime used flashlights the knijhpkat doesn’t have a battery but uses a small internal dynamo. The mechanism is still in great condition and the torch still works!

A set of 4 matching and two spare internal support straps as sewn inside M42 and M43 garments. These straps are often removed and spares are hard to come by.

Rare late war subdued dull grey NCO rank Tresse. Late war subdued variant, a long piece that should be enough for a collar and shoulderstraps.
