Fully functional MG42 sustained fire tripod or Lafette, used for direct and indirect fire. The Lafette is a textbook wartime produced example using wartime parts. It’s a early variant marked fsu 1942 indicating production by Excelsior Fahrrad und Motorradwerk, Brandenburg. The Lafette was reissued post war in the Austrian army but still retains most if not all of its wartime components. The Lafette has been repainted; but a quick scratch test reveals that most probably you can reveal most of the original paint that’s still underneath! If you look at the second and third picture you can see what a piece of wood or plastic can do; you can easily clean off the post war paint without much hassle. A really easy restoration! The Lafette retains its original markings, the original Uberschiesstabel and a very low serial of 349 which is 13 numbers away from the earliest found example. This is a great example that would be a great base to clean to reveal its original finish; which is a rare feature to any Lafette!

PLEASE NOTE THAT ADDITIONAL POSTAGE FEES WILL BE CHARGED AFTER ORDERING due to the heavy weight. This will probably be an extra 50 euro for Europe, and 200 for outside of Europe. Pickup in our warehouse in Tampere, Finland is possible.

Textbook pre war RG34 cleaning chain with aluminum links.

Two Waffenentgiftungsmittel containers in mixed phenolic resin.

The Italian army messkit (Gavetta Modello 1930) was a commonly seen item within the German army. Prior to re-issue in the German army they where mostly painted green by the Germans. This example came out of a small find in Italy just recently and would be hard to upgrade.

Textbook issue gascape pouch in very good, IMO unissued condition.

Excellent 1936 dated gasmask in full, complete condition. The canister retains its period attached 1936 dated straps and up to 90% of its factory paint. The canister is the first pattern issued after the Reichswehr pattern gasmask bag. Rare to find in good condition!

Soldbuch to Heumar Schreiber, serving in Flakbatterie zbv Marienfelde at Berlin in 1945. Schreiber first served in 223 Infanterie Division and he was awarded the Eisernes Kreuz II Klasse, Infanterie Sturmabzeichen, Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz and the Ostmedaille. Interesting Soldbuch that would be a nice base for further research!

Original 1943 dated “blaugrau” buttons for Heer, Luftwaffe and SS. In 1943 a new “einheitsfarbe” meaning colour for all branches was introduced and used on all garments. This was never fully implemented but a large portion of the M43 and most if not all M44 tunics received these. From that date onwards “Graublau” was the new textbook colour for pebbled buttons on uniforms. These can be seen on original m42, m43 and m44 tunics, mantels and caps. Also the M43 tropical uniforms and Fliegerblusen featured these!

A set of two matching equipment straps marked A Jeurgens Goch 1941.

Astonishing late war Waffen-SS Erbsentarn Keilhosen or dot 44 HBT camouflage trousers. In mint condition, without damages. The left pocket of the trousers is lined in Oak Leaf B material which is a unique feature. The camouflage on this pair of trousers is very bright with strong colours and don’t show any fading. The trousers are nicely maker marked Betr. Ra. indicating production by Betriebswerk Ravensbrück (Texled). The trousers are a nice big size fitting most if not all mannequins! The garment is a stunning textbook example of original Waffen-SS camouflage trousers in mint condition!

Nice original leather equipment belt in good used condition. The belt is marked but it’s completely unreadable. The belt is a size 105 and will most likely fit all the mannequins. Considering the aluminium hook the belt is most likely a pre war production!

In good used condition brown K98 carrying sling. The leather is in good supple and flexible condition and has no cracks or tears.

Rare original mittens for the Waffen-SS Charkov parka. These mittens where issued with the Charkov parka and are made from the same thick grey material. Nicely marked with the size 2. The mittens are rare to find and made specifically for the Charkov parka.

Beautiful and rare tan coloured 10×50 Panzer Dienstglas in good used condition. The Dienstglas still retains the originally attached strap which is sadly broken but is original to the piece! The binoculars are in good functional condition and the lenses are fairly clear, the strichplatte in the right lens is sadly missing. The binoculars are nicely marked bmj which indicates production by Hensoldt u. Soehne, Mechanisch-Optische Werke AG, Wetzlar. Beautiful tan coloured 10×50 Panzer Dienstglas!

Beautiful late war pressstoff case for the 10×50 Panzer binoculars. The case is nicely marked bmj 1943 which indicates production by Hensoldt u. Soehne, Mechanisch-Optische Werke AG, Wetzlar. Complete with the contrast lenses which are mostly missing! The case is in a great condition and would nicely complete a display!
