Matching issue tent pegs in unissued condition. The pegs are typical pressed wood construction encapsulated in bakelite. Every soldier was issued one pole, two pegs and one Zeltleine together with his Zeltbahn.

A very nice late war P38 soft shell holster. The holster is nicely maker marked 0/0833/0007 indicating production by Hans Römer, Neu-Ulm. Simply a superb late war P38 holster in mint condition, can not be upgraded!

A great pair of mid to late war felt boots or Filzstiefel in very good condition. Typical eastern front footwear worn and issued with the reversible, non reversible and Charkov parkas. The pair is a nice large 30 which translates to a modern EU 45. Both soles still retain their factory applied leather hobs. The felt boots are nicely marked RBNr. 0.0543/0025 not the pulling straps on. the inside. They are in great, near mint condition with only some minor moth damage, perfect for on a mannequin! Hard to find a great pair in this condition and size!

Original US Duffle Bag marked JA SHOE 1944.

Distance meter or Kurvenmesser. The Kurvenmesser is in great working condition in its original leather pouch. Although these are mostly advertised as ‘ Wehrmacht ‘ or being a issued piece; these are all privately purchased. To be quite frank; 99% of the offered examples on the market today are most probably post war, with this one being no different other then it being advertised correctly. These pieces are however exactly the same as the 1940’s examples as the factories that made these never really changed the ‘winning’ concept. A nice mapcase accessory in good working condition at a sharp price.

Unique Heer EM M40 tunic with a bullethole gone right through the garment, with the lining fully blood soaked. The garment is a typical early M40 with first pattern Einheitskragenlitzen dating pre May 1940. The Einheitskragenlitzen are factory sewn to the garment, the breast eagle is in my opinion resewn. The garment has a small hole to the front and the back, at the shoulder hight. This is a genuine bullet hole that went straight trough and wounded the wearer. The area around the hole is blood-soaked inside and out. Other then these holes on the top there are shrapnel damages with period repairs on the bottom pockets indicating the wearer (probably) survived the ordeal. The garment was found in Magdeburg at some point. The garment is a unique example of a blood-soaked jacket that would be a prime historic piece in any collection.

Excellent original chinstrap for Heer/Luftwaffe (Wehrmacht) EM enlisted mens visor cap. The chinstrap is nicely marked with an ink stamp Rahm & Kampmann, Wuppertal 1938. The chinstrap is unissued and in good usable condition and is very rare to find as a spare!

Textbook German helmet chinstrap in good, close to mint condition, most likely unissued. The chinstrap is nicely marked ftb 44 which is a rather common maker for chinstraps but is still an unknown maker. Beautiful close to mint late war example which is hard to find as a spare!

Early m40 pattern greatcoat for a Korvettenkäpitan in the Küstenartillerie or coastal artillery. The garment is a nice and large size in near mint condition.

Textbook M31 Zeltbahn in Splittertarn camouflage. It’s marked Warei Zeltbahn and its in very used condition with many large period repairs.

Late war unissued Zeltbahn in Waffen-SS Oak camouflage. The Zeltbahn is nicely made up out of different colours of camouflaged material, typical for a late war manufacture. What makes this zeltbahn rare is that its of a late war “4 panel” construction. That means that on both far ends of the left and right side a extra triangle is sewn on. One of the corners has a restoration with white stitching. The material is stunning and vibrant and looks like the day it was made. A unique late war Waffen-SS Zeltbahn with reversed coloursmost probably made in 1945!

Extremely rare late war blue/grey coloured fabric rifle grenade pouches. These pouches are in combat used condition which is very rare and extremely scarce, in fact this is even the first set I have ever encountered! Typical construction with rough and smooth blue coloured webbing straps riveted to the fabric with LUX marked hardware. The inside of these pouches both feature 3 small sections in which a clip of 5 rifle grenade cartridges could be kept and to keep those cartridges separated from other ammunition!  Each pouch has a field applied white painted stencil to keep the type of grenades separated! The left bag carried the anti personnel rifle grenades or Gewehrsprenggranate (G. Spr.) and the right bag carried the anti tank grenades or Panzersprenggranate (P. Spr.) This is the first set of blue coloured grenade pouches with this typical construction in combat used condition and with field applied stencils I have ever seen and have the pleasure to offer. Stunning combat used set which would be impossible to upgrade!
