A very nice original aluminum Heer buckle by H. Arld Nuernberg. The buckle still retains most of its factory green paint which is a rare attribute for these aluminum belt buckles. The buckle is in very good condition! A rare buckle in very good condition!

Textbook equipment belt marked Theodor Seibold Offenbach A.M. 1941. A good large size 100 that is hard to find.

Very nice original Kriegsmarine K98 bayonet marked S/176G indicating production by P. Weyersberg in 1935(!). The bayonet has not been sharpened or reblued and has a minty look to it with most of the original finish remaining. The bayonet retains the Kriegsmarine marking N5602 on both the scabbard and the bayonet indicating that it was issued to navy personnel at Marinestation Nordsee. A very nice pre war Kriegsmarine bayonet with clear wooden grips that would be very hard to upgrade!

Very nice bakelite flare container for 6 red star flares in very good condition with its original (often faked(!)) label.

A very nice original hand embroided breast eagle in good used condition.

Scarce Heer belt buckle in Aluminum by Lehmann & Wundenberg, Hannover; one of the rarest Heer buckles to find! The buckle retains up to 65% of its wartime factory finish.

A very nice original german red cross belt buckle marked OLC indicating production by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid.

Very nice mid war Gebirgsjäger rucksack in very good condition. Nicely marked GMO 42.

A stunning salty M42 combat tunic for a Feldwebel der Artillerie. The garment is a nicely period tailored for a better fit with a typical pointed style collar. The garment is unwashed and retains the dirt and grime that is expected for a combat tunic for a artilleryman. The garment retains multiple period sewn award loops above the breast pocket and shows the wear of multiple awards pinned through the pocket itself. A very nice and surely worn combat tunic with loads of character for a frontline fighter!

Textbook and mint example. Nicely maker marked and dated, can’t be upgraded.

Superb original and stone mint tropical breadbag. Textbook construction without leather and nicely RBNR’rd inside.

Stunning original MG34 ammunition case in textbook three-tone pre war pattern camouflage. The case has two shrapnel damages to the side and the top. Very hard to find a nice three-tone battle damaged MG34 case as this one.

Textbook tan tropical Heer trousers for the Afrikakorps in good worn condition.

Excellent and textbook example of a M40 Polizei helmet, made to M35 specs. The shell is marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet is a rarer example being made to the M35 specs; one of the first made with the M40 shell and its factory installed zinc single banded liner. The helmet retains its factory applied smooth green paint up to 90% with both decals in excellent condition. The dome of the helmet retains a name. Very nice and textbook example of a Polizei helmet that would be very hard to upgrade!

Clear mapcase insert. These where issued with map cases and used to keep maps dry in the rain and folded on the right place. These where also used to draw on to the smooth see through surface to keep the maps unmarked. Nicely marked Otto Koberstein 1938.

Scarce original Waffen-SS maroon Fez for the 13. Gebirgsdivision der Waffen-SS ‘Handschar’. The Fez is in good used condition and retains both wartime factory sewn skull and eagle. The leather sweatband is partially loose, but this seems to be a thing with all of these. The Fez is in very good condition and would be hard to upgrade!

Messkits and canteens enameled in these colours are attributed to be made by the Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik (DEF) run by Oskar Schindler. Messkits and canteens, unmarked, in these specific colours have been found in the old factory storage of the former DEF. There are several other makers of enameled steel canteens and messkits but they all carry different characteristic features such as markings or specific colours. No other maker utilizes these light gray and blue colours and lacks markings. The light blue “wash” on top of the enamel is one of the typical features. Rare to find combination!

Beautiful pre war pointed style M35 shoulder straps for a Unteroffizier. The straps come with the period attached yellow braids most probably indicating he was part of the Aufklärung section.
