A very nice original PUMA combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser or officially; Infanteriemesser 42. The handle is made out of typical red speckled bakelite. The knife is in good sharp condition! Perfect combat mannequin accessory!

A nice untouched EM/NCO M42 field cap. The cap retains its wartime factory hand applied cocade and eagle. The cap is in mint condition and shows no signs of use. The nap of the wool still remains at most places. The size of the cap is roughly a 57. A beautiful untouched cap, really!

Rare wartime manual for the Walther PPK pistol. The manual is in very good condition. The Manual consists of a number of colored and layered diagrams showing the internal mechanisms of the pistol. The colorful illustrations are done by Thomas Abeking. A very nice manual; I can’t find a second one online.

The best pre war unblackened equipment belt I’ve had for a long time. Not BAB marked but dated 1939. The belt is in good unissued condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

Nice early pattern MP38 and MP40 ammunition pouch with the D-ring in the far corner. Nice to combine with a holster. A nice original MP38 ammunition pouch, unmistakingly combat worn!

Hard to find matching pair of Luftwaffe Gamaschen or gaiters to match a nice pair of M37 Schnürschuhe

In good supple condition and marked RB-Nr. 1079/0031. Ideal if you have that unissued M42 without chinstrap!

Mint late war Bekleidungstasche 31 with recycled materials. Very nice late war variant with internal support straps repurposed.

Late war Soldbuch of Jäger Hildebrandt. The soldbuch was handed out on the 1st of April 1945. At this time Jäger Hildebrandt served in the Genesenden-Kompanie-Grenadier Ersatz und Ausbildungs battalion 467, with was located in Stendal near the Elbe river. He was awarded the Verwundetenabzeichen im Schwarz and Kriegsverdienstkreuz II Klasse mit Schwerter on Hitlers birthday in 1945.  Very hard to find late war Soldbuch for a Berlin battle veteran!

With the Soviet and Allied forces advancing towards Berlin, Jäger Hildebrandt was transferred to Kampfgruppe Oberstleutnant Bahr, which was part of the Divisionsgruppe Von Hake as Grenadier-Regiment Von Hake. A hastily formed unit which fell subordinate to the XXXXI Panzerkorps. The Kampfgruppe Bahr/Grenadier regiment von Hake was made up from several units like a Flak battalion from Hannover, Gren.E.A.Btl. 467 from Stendal and a battalion of the Hundeschule Rathenow. On the 22nd of April the Panzerkorps fell under the leadership of the 12th Army, commanded by General der Panzertruppe Walter Wenck, and was sent east of the Elbe river to attack towards Berlin, and relieve the units trapped in and around the city. The main effort of the 12th army was to attack towards Potsdam and the trapped 9th Army at Halbe. Initially the attack surprised the Russians and the German forces gained some success, reaching as far as Schwielowsee near Potsdam. The Divisionsgruppe Von Hake however was sent further north to the area of Neuruppin and northwest of Havelberg to face the Russian 47th Army. An attack by the XXXXI Panzerkorps which was intended to push towards the city of Berlin didn’t stand any chance, instead they broke through at Kyritz on the 1.5.1945, on 2.5.1945 another Soviet attack broke trough the Panzerkops lines at Friesack and Fehrbellin. What was left of the Divisionsgruppe von Hake tried to withdraw to the bridgehead at Tangermünde and thus escape Russian captivity.

Superb tan painted 6×30 Dienstglas or army issue binoculars. These where issued to all branches in the Wehrmacht. The binoculars retain their original tan paint up to 95% and can easily be graded near mint. The binoculars are marked CAG indicating production by Swarovski. Extremely hard to find a pair with this amount of paint. Extremely nice pair that is perfect if you just need one !

Superb unissued Heer M43 field cap executed in captured Italian wool. The cap is a textbook example of a mint M43 field cap or Einheitsfeldmütze. The cap is a nice large size and would be impossible to upgrade. The cap retains its factory sewn BeVo cockade and blue buttons. The seams are nicely lined with bias tape. The lining is unissued, RBNR marked and in size 59 which is large. Certainly the best M43 field cap I’ve had to offer. Superb piece that’s impossible to upgrade.

A nice pre war M31 messkit in good used condition with most of its original paint. It is nicely marked EEF 39 which is a uncommon maker: Ewald Eigenbrod Aluminium-und Metallwarenfabrik, Freiling.
