Ignition key for the Glühzündapparat 37 and the Glühzündapparat 39. This example is nicely marked with an WaA stamp.  Hard to find as a spare and perfect to complete a set!

extbook late war Luftwaffe issue blue coloured breadbag in almost mint and probably unissued condition. No markings are found on this example. Stunning late war example which would be hard to upgrade!

These cutlery sets were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The set is in good used condition and would normally be one of the standard breadbag items! This example is nicely marked GAG 43 which indicates production by Gustav Auerswald, Besteckfabrik, Grünhain/Sa. 

Beautiful period Seifix shoe polish or Bohnerwachs tin in great condition. Typical item which would be carried in the breadbag by German troops.

General purpose dust goggles or “Umbral” goggles as patented and produced by Carl Zeiss, Jena. The construction of the goggles and the pouch indicates that this is a late war production set. The goggles are featuring uncommon green coloured lenses but this is hard to see on the photographs. Ersatz construction made out multiple pieces which can be observed on the top of the goggles!

Near mint Dienstglas leather buttoning tab or Knöpflasche in most likely unissued condition. The buttoning tab is nicely dated 1937. Great pre war example which is really hard to find as a spare!

Single M36 Heer shoulderstrap for a Pionier EM. Nice piece with a uncommon unit specified band. Interesting detail is that this strap was constructed from a M40 strap with the dark green wool stitched on top.

Nice original Heer/Waffen-SS camouflage rank patch in unissued condition. These rank patches were made to be worn onto camouflage clothing.
