Hard to find complete pioneer pouches, complete with rucksack in mint condition. The set is made Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt utilizing parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent these for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. Hard to find late war complete Pionier set that would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice brown K98 sling in very good lightly used condition. Nicely marked N Waldow Prag 1943. The strap is supple and would be a very nice addition to any K98, K43 or MP44. Hard to upgrade!

Hard to upgrade mint late war breadbag. Nicely maker marked and dated 1944. The D-rings are painted blue which is a uncommon but typical late war feature. The buttons on the belt straps have never been attached, truly mint!

A nice mapcase complete with a map cover and a GKS planzeiger.

Nice CZ 27 pistol with its original minty holster. The CZ27 is nicely deactivated according to the new EU regulations and comes with a deactivation certificate. These small CZ pistols where captured by the Germans and later also produced on their behalf. The CZ can be cocked and dry fired. This is a pre war CZ with a ’41 dated holster. A great set !

Shipping within the Netherlands is possible. Other then that, pickup is preferred!

A nice grouping that was found in the household of Heinz Preissing several years ago. The grouping consists of a M40 tunic and a Soldbuch with a large amount of paperwork. Also there is a nice large picture of Heinz, sitting next to his equipment. The M40 tunic has its factory machine sewn litzen and breast eagle. The breast eagle is machine sewn, then folded flat and finished by hand. The shoulder boards retain the cyphers for Gebirgsjäger Regiment 98. The Unteroffizierstresse is machine sewn to the collar. The Gebirgsjäger Edelweiss is handsewn. The breast pocket has 4 sets of wartime sewn loops for awards and a small spange above it. The tunic is not shortened or tailored but has several wartime machine sewn repairs. The Soldbuch has many, many entries and a picture in the front. Heinz carried a French or Dutch pistol with 16 rounds of ammunition. He entered service in 1938. Heinz was awarded the Verwundetenabzeichen Im Schwarz in 1941. The Soldbuch corresponds with the Erkennungsmarke. Heinz was a part of the Staff of the unit, possibly later in the war he was the Zahlmeister.

Gebirgsjäger Regiment 98 was one of the first units to enter Poland in 1939. Then following up in the 1940 campaign attacked France, moving through Luxembourg. More information on the unit here.

Although the grouping could bring more if split up, I have no wish to split this group up. The grouping is large and has lots of research possibilities. I wish I had more time to go more into the paperwork; its really a interesting group!

Nice matching mid war pair of shoulderstraps for a Waffen-SS Unterscharführer der (Sturm)Artillerie. The set is in very good, lightly worn condition with red rayon piping. Would be perfect to match to a lightly worn tunic. These shoulderstraps are very hard to find!

Hard to find spare that fits on the front of a MG15. These belong to the standard equipment of the MG15.

A nice early pattern tropical belt with woven, not stitched adjustment holes in nice used condition. Hard to find this early pattern for Heer and Luftwaffe troops!

Rare Kriegsmarine gasmask with microphone attachment. The mask and its filter are named to Graf. Inside the mask is marked with the Kriegsmarine Acceptance stamp. Hard to upgrade complete gasmask with all accessories and markings you’d like to see.

A stunning original M40 Waffen-SS Mantel or overcoat in near mint condition. The mantel is not to be confused with the Heer/Army type; this cut of Mantel is different in shape, cut, marking and is specifically made for the Waffen-SS. The eagle has been removed from the sleeve, other then that its a nice untouched near mint condition Waffen-SS M40 Mantel. There are several small moth holes on the bottom of the coat. These overcoats are very scarce! The mantel is marked 242 which is a specific waffen-ss producer. These overcoats are very scarce!

Hard to find minty black Presstoff MG42 tool pouch with a webbing closing strap. The pouch is nicely marked fuq 1945 indicating production by Curt Vogel, Cottbuss. The pouch is in mint condition and complete with its original wooden and steel inserts. First one I’ve found with this rare original closing strap!

A very nice minty pre war gasmask canister with 99% of the original paint remaining.

Textbook original Kriegsmarine M42 helmet marked EF64 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda in very good condition.
The helmet retains up to 95% of its original textured field grey paint and golden Kriegsmarine decal. The decal is a Kriegsmarine thin wing type manufactured by Huber Jordan u. Koerner. The top of the decal shows a golden line indicating the decal was manufactured in multiple layers and is a textbook Kriegsmarine helmet. The lot number is also noted in the lot number database as a Single Decal Kriegsmarine helmet. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap. Kriegsmarine M42 helmets are very rare, especially in a exceptional condition as this one. I doubt I will find another soon!

A very nice unissued Luftwaffe Flak Fliegerbluse with all factory sewn insignia and the original factory cutter labels. The Fliegerbluse has the factory sewn insignia for a Obergefreiter der Flakartillerie. The left sleeve features the artillery trademans badge or Flakartillerie Tätigkeitsabzeichen. The garment was never worn and still retains its minty appearance and approximately 95% of the nap. The shoulderstraps are nice midwar rayon piped examples. Probably the best Flak Fiegerbluse on the market today!

A stunning pair of late war M37 lowboots marked 0/0744/5061 in very good unissued condition. A nice large size fitting most if not all mannequins and complete with a set of leather laces. Marked 0/0744/5061 on the top. These lowboots where issued to most personnel in the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. A nice and textbook set with the shark type nose! A matching pair of typical M37 lowboots in minty condition is hard to find!

Nice matching M31 canteen marked HJB 42. It is unclear who manufactured the canteens marked HJB but they are very rare. Hard to upgrade rare maker canteen in very good condition!

Hard to find minty pair of US jumpboots by Corcoran. The pair is nicely named to William M. Fuller and is in good, unworn condition. This pair was probably kept as “best dress” to be worn with a Class A or Ike jacket. The pair retains its original laces but they have broken at a few places. They can however still be laced up for display. A great minty pair!
