Nice webbing Y-strap in combat used condition. The Y-strap has a lot of patina, a period repair on the top D-ring strap and would nicely attribute a combat mannequin!

A nice brown K98 sling in very good lightly used condition. Nicely marked gcx 1942 indicating production by Ing. Karl Brettschneider, Maehrisch-Schoenber. The strap is supple and would be a very nice addition to any K98, K43 or MP44. Hard to upgrade!

A very nice wartime mosquito net in good condition. It is nicely made in the typical textbook light green colour and large enough to fit over a helmet.

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet marked J. Sch. 1939indicating production by Jetter und Scheerer. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 899 e and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good, uncleaned, unsharpened and matching (!) condition.

First pattern grey reversible parka jacket or Wendejacke in good, lightly worn condition. The jacket has most if not all of its originally sewn buttons and is complete with all strings and straps. The garment is in lightly worn condition with light staining on the white side. Its nicely marked Schulz Warschau and K42. The material used in the construction of the parka is the typical early barcode screen printed grey material. A rare to find grey parka in great, lightly worn condition!

A killer brush painted three-tone geometrical camouflage helmet. Truly a typical and stunning example of a original geometrical camouflage helmet with bright colours. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet. The helmet shows several layers of paint which are topped with a geometrical camouflage pattern . The colours are vibrant and full of contrast, it really stands out! The helmet retains up to 95% of its original camouflage paint. The liner is named but it is hard to make out. The chinstrap is shortened but original to the helmet. The helmet was found years ago in Denmark and emerged from the woodwork after a newspaper ad. Due to the thick paint the shell markings are hard to see. The helmet is a M40, most probably NS production. Truly a exiting helmet that would be a centre piece to any camouflage helmet collection. For sure the best coastal artillery camouflage helmet I’ve found!

A very nice late war 6×30 power binoculars or Dienstglas in yellow colour. These late war binoculars is fitted with its original strap and rain shield. The binoculars are clear and usable. The Strichplatte is not visible which seems to be common with these late war binoculars. A very nice pair of late war binoculars still featuring most of its wartime yellow paint in untouched, uncleaned condition.

A great pair of late war felt boots. Typical eastern front footwear worn and issued with the reversible, non reversible and charkov parkas. The pair is a nice large 28 which translates to a modern EU 43. The pair is nicely dated 1943. Both boots have a rip in the back just underneath the straps. They are however still in great condition, perfect on a mannequin! Hard to find a great pair in this condition and size!

Hard to find wartime straight E-tool marked 1944 H. The E-tool is in good strong condition with clear markings and original finish.

Scarce original pair of Waffen-SS M43 Keilhosen for enlisted man and non commissioned officers in good worn condition. The trousers retain most if not all of their originally sewn buttons and full leg ties. There is a well-executed period repair on the front of the trousers under the left front pocket. The trousers are otherwise in good, used condition. The inside of the trousers are nicely finished with herringbone rayon material typical for Waffen-SS issue garments. The cut is typical for Waffen-SS issue Keilhosen with straight cut pockets and the back reinforcement ending at the side seams. Not to be confused with Heer/Kustenartillerie trousers! A textbook Waffen-SS M43 Keilhosen, much harder to find then a pair of Erbsentarn camouflage trousers!

A very rare Gebirgsjäger rucksack waist strap in good, unissued condition. This piece is virtually always missing from all Gebirgsjäger rucksacks and impossible to find as a spare!

A perfect mint late war set! Unmarked buckle by Bruder Schneider, Wien.

A stunning woodwork ET64 M35 Kriegsmarine camouflage helmet found in the Batterie Vineta, Hoek van Holland. The helmet was picked up by a boy right after the war and has only been in one collection ever since. The helmet is in great condition with over 90% of the tan camouflage paint remaining. The original ET Kriegsmarine decal is still 100%, partially obscured by green camouflage paint. The decal has the thin black border around the eagle and the swastika has a strong, deep golden tint as would be expected of a Kriegsmarine decal. The tricolor decal has been removed, as per regulation in 1940. The back skirt is nicely named to Hernez on top of the lot number 4936. The helmet is a great example of a Coastal Artillery camouflage helmet and it would be very hard to upgrade. Especially with the provenance of the helmet being picked up from a certain (and famous) Coastal Artillery Battery Vineta in Hoek van Holland, the Netherlands. This helmet would be a prime piece in any coastal artillery collector!

Textbook original Gasplane in great condition with its early type rubberized cover.

Stunning condition non reversible hard edged ’43 Sumpftarnmuster pattern camouflage parka complete with trousers and suspenders. Complete with their original rayon based camouflage braces original to the parka. The jacket and the trousers are in very good condition with strong colours and material. The jacket has a few small damages but is otherwise in mint/unissued condition! Hard to find complete set!

A nice late war grey equipment belt marked RBNR inside the leather tongue. Hard to upgrade piece in a good mannequin size!

A nice and usable 10 liter Trinkwasser water carrier in stunning condition. This is most probably the cleanest and nicest Trinkwasserkanister I have seen so far. The canister is marked HRE indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen.
These carriers where first introduced around 1941 probably due to the hot climate in Italy and Africa. These are becoming hard to find and are a good and secure way to take drinking water to the front. This one still has most of its original paint and stencils and is in very good condition!

A nice and typical example of a battle damaged M35 helmet. The helmet is a standard apple green double decal M35 Heer helmet with a field repaint typical for the 1940 campaign. The helmet retains 99% of its original camouflage paint which covers the thricolor decal but leaves the eagle bare to the eye. The helmet is marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap which are original to the helmet. On the top of the dome a large hole can be seen that was most probably inflicted by a bullet coming from the front. The hole surely seriously wounded anyone wearing the helmet at that time and the light blood staining in the leather shows this. The liner is nicely named K. Hefner. A very nice battle damaged M35 helmet in great – as found – condition!

A very nice pre war Dienstglas by Hensoldt, Wetzlar. The Dienstglas is complete with all straps and its bakelite rain shield and finished with brass. The vision is clear and the right eyepiece still retains the Strichplatte. A nice used set in good, combat used condition!
