Nice original MG42 ruptured cartridge remover marked hoz WaA14 indicating production by Bernhard Zade, Berlin. This tool is a standard component from the MG tool kit! Unlike the MG34 example the MG42 variant is very hard to find!

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!

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!

Tent pole or Zeltstock 01 in good condition which was issued to every soldier together with the Zeltbahn. (Every soldier was issued one pole, two pegs and one Zeltleine together with his Zeltbahn.) The tent pole is constructed out of wood with blued steel reinforcements on both ends, the tent pole measures approximately 37cm as it should! The tent pole is nicely marked ggt 42 which indicates production by a still unknown producer, marked tent poles are hard to find!

Excellent early war aluminium single tent peg in excellent and m most likely unissued condition. The tent peg is nicely marked GA 40 which indicates production by an unclear producer in 1940. The peg is original and complete with its factory attached cord!

Distance meter or Kurvenmesser. The Kurvenmesser is in great working condition. 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.

Nice unissued webbing equipment strap in mint condition. The strap is nicely marked Lago, M.-Schönberg 1943.

Textbook US M1936 suspenders in very good condition.

Rare original British Made US duffle bag named Weissberg S. EO223 with the PON code indicating it was marked for D-Day!

Nice and hard used M31 Heer Splittertarn Zeltbahn which is faintly marked E.G. Leuner. The Zeltbahn shows a lot of wear and features multiple smaller wartime depot style repairs. The Zeltbahn retains most if not all of its originally sewn aluminium buttons. Nice and original Splittertarn Zeltbahn in used condition!

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