A original German army issue blanket. These blankets where issued and used members of the Heer and Waffen-SS. The importance of blankets in a war is very underestimated and where more then often the only comfort a soldier would have.

This blanket is in used condition, it has a few repairs and holes and the ends are fraying a bit. None the less, this is a original Wehrmacht issue blanket that would be perfect for a personal effects display and very nice correctly folded or strapped onto a Tornister or Rucksack!

Mint original third pattern US first aid kit that was installed in all combat, cargo, transport, training planes, and gliders at the factory as well as in the E-8, E-11 and E-12 Emergency Sustenance Kits. The kit comes with the partial contents but -as always- is missing the morphine syrettes. These kits can also be seen worn on the belts of glider- and paratroopers.

A very nice original Luftwaffe combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser. Nicely marked with the Luftwaffe 6 Waffenamt. The knife is in good sharp and used condition. Great combat mannequin accessorie!

A great pair of mid to late war felt boots in near mint condition. Typical eastern front footwear worn and issued with the reversible, non reversible and charkov parkas. The pair is a nice large 32 which translates to a modern EU 45. Both soles still retain their factory applied rubber soles. They are in great dusty but unissued condition, perfect on a mannequin! Hard to find a great pair in this condition and size!

A nice original Waffen-SS fur lined parka in Italian Telo Mimetico camouflage material. The parka is in good worn condition and has a few small repairs and stains. The fur is in good condition. A nice original late war Waffen-SSparka in good worn condition!

Very nice and rare BAGS WATERPROOF DOUBLE TEXT GENERAL PURPOSE TYPE 1 .

The Bag is a rectangular shaped item made from a double layer of waterproof medium weight olive drab # 3 (khaki) sateen cloth. It features a throat made from a single layer of waterproof sateen, so designed that when drawn shut with the cord provided for this purpose, it is completely waterproof. There is an additional closing strap with square buckle that wraps around the entire bag when filled. Development took place in 1944 and although the authors have never seen any photographs illustrating the item, it can be assumed that such piece of equipment may have been used during Operation “Neptune” along with the series of other Waterproof Bags, Special Purpose (used to protect equipment against rain, spray, and immersion during amphibious operations).
General dimensions are 20“ x 16” x 16” and Quartermaster Corps Stock No. is 24-B-1258.

As the item was produced by the Quartermaster Corps, neither an official Medical Department Item Number nor a contents list exists. However, The Quartermaster Supply Catalog QM 3-4, 1945, describes it as an ALL-PURPOSE Bag, used for carrying miscellaneous equipment such as wool blankets, surgical equipment, dressings etc.

Superb named and lightly worn M1917A1 ‘Kelley’ helmet by McCord. The helmet is named and Id’ed Lt. Jn. Coombes Hq Btry 2p Bn 211th Ca (AA) 0-405979 indicating Headquarters battery 211th Coast Artillery Regiment. The helmet is a superb example that would be very hard to upgrade.

The rarest of all German army utensils. This large serving spoon or Schöpflöffel for the Speisenträger is virtually always missing from the large food containers. The large enamel spoon serves a good portion and is a impossible spare to find.

Rare leather A-frame strap in good used and supple condition. Hard to find spare for any A-frame!
