Textbook untouched world war one M17 helmet marked TJ66 indicating production by C. Thiel & Söhne, Lübeck. 

Nice original US M1 helmet liner by Westinghouse in good condition.

Excellent untouched US M1 helmet with Hawley liner named Louis E. Mertz jr. The shell retains its originally sewn chinstraps and cork textured paint. The shell shows various stress cracks which are typical for this type of helmet. The helmet is in used condition with loads of character that surely makes it a typical example of a combat worn helmet.

Original Pamphlet that was dropped on 2.10.1944 in the area of the Scheldt. The Pamphlet warned the people living in the Scheldt river for the imminent allied air- and artillery bombardment followed by a large infantry attack. The pamphlet warns to evacuate without hesitation and to leave anything one could not carry easily. Hard to find original Pamphlet in good condition.

Original Holland related deathcard of Obergefreiter Georg Kapfhammer. Kapfhammer served in an Pionier-Abteilung and was killed in action on September 15, 1944 in the small village of Breskens in the Netherlands. The German forces found themselves trapped during the retreat from France and Belgium between the Dutch/Belgian coast and the West Schelde. Trapped in the so called Breskens Pocket was the German 15. Armee. The German pocket managed to hold out throughout October. Extensive research shows Obergefreiter Kapfhammer served in the 2. Kompanie / Pionier-Btl. 245, part of the 245. Infanterie-Division. He was killed by a “Bombensplitter” – bomb shrapnel and was initially buried in a field grave in Breskens, later his remains where transferred to Ysselsteyn.

Original deathcard of three brothers, one of them Obergefreiter Josef Schuhbeck. Schuhbeck served in an Funker-Abteilung and was killed during the battle of the Bulge on January 2, 1945. He was killed in the village of Champlon which is located along the highway Saint-Hubert / La Roche-en-Ardenne. He is buried in Recogne just north of Bastogne.

Original M1911 Colt magazine pouch marked FSF 737 1918.

Original deathcard of Pionier Georg Käser. Pionier Käser served in an SS-Pionier-Abteilung and was killed in action on January 4, 1945 near Ransperg am Saar. This location is however difficult to determine.
Looking at his place of burial (St. Ingbert-Rohrbach) it must be searched in the region of Saarbrücken / Zweibrücken. In that case Pionier Käser most likely served in the 17. SS Panzer-Grenadier-Division “Götz von Berlichingen”.
