Original spool of US Army booby trap trip wire in unissued condition.

Mid to late war Waffen-SS oak leaf Zeltbahn in used condition. This Zeltbahn isn’t perfect but its a nice and original example!

Textbook Heer EM M43 field blouse with matching shoulderstraps in Italian wool with white rayon piping. The field blouse comes with full factory sewn insignia; a triangular m44 style breast eagle which has been zigzag sewn and a pair of straight sewn Einheitskragenspiegel with no signs of previously attached insignia. The garment is a killer EM uniform with a nice light wear showing the weave of the wool. The jacket is lined in grey rayon and is complete with the belt support straps. The shoulderstraps are made out of the same Italian wool as the base garment with white rayon piping. The garment is not shortened or tailored and would be a perfect base for a 1944 combat mannequin!

Nice original BeVo Heer cap eagle in good unissued condition.

Rare original Luftwaffe Hermann Göring collar tabs. Textbook examples with buckram backing finished with white doeskin.

Unissued large Petrix 525 torch in unused condition. The torch is a typical and large example produced between 1930 and 1944.

Nice original ammunition box for the Truppenfahrrad. The box still retains most of its original factory paint. Nice object for restoration!

Very nice and filled US WWII first aid kit. Excellent and filled example.

Excellent original Belgian M1931 Adrian helmet with original liner and period repaired chinstrap. The helmet is a typical wartime used example with factory paint.

A nice set of US wire cutters in good mint condition marked J.S.& S.Co. 1942.

US Carlisle bandage pouch marked M.E.C. o British made 1944 in unissued condition.

Textbook US Colt M1911 holster marked BOYT 44.

Nice original US army issue gloves marked Scotsmoor Co. Extra large

Rare early tropical equipment belt in olive colour bordered with green leather on the ends. The belt is a typical early example with sewn eyelets and belt steel hook. The belt is maker marked but unfortunately not readable. The belt is a small size 80 and would make a great set with a green tabbed Heer buckle!

Nice early M31 messkit marked G&CL 40 indicating production by Gehardi & Co, Lüdenscheid. The back of the messkit has the initials FJ on both parts.

Excellent field police gorget or Feldgendarmerie Rinkragen. Hard to find in good used condition like this one. The luminous paint still lights up in the dark. The Gorget is a nice mid to late war example with a cardboard back. Very hard to find in this condition and a centerpiece in any Feldgendarmerie display!

Bevevano E Mangiavano by my friend Giancarlo Persic is the best reference book for German wartime canteens and messkits. My friend Giancarlo is a lifetime collector who specializes in the M31 and M42 canteens and messkits. This book is a great reference with many if not all German canteen and messkit variants. He clearly shows side by side photographs for the smallest details that are hardly noticable but obnoxiously interesting for some die-hard collectors such as myself. Some of the canteens from my collection have been featured in the book and I’m thrilled to be able to offer this reference to my customers. I warmly recommend any specialized equipment collector this book; not just because of the vast amount of pictures but also for the background information that really makes it stand out to other reference works. The book is a sealed paperback in the English language with 332 pages and a vast amount of pictures surely to soothe the need of any novice or advanced collector looking to expand his or her library! Needless to say; this is a must have for any equipment collector!
