A original Waffen-SS M42 Polyspot(!) camouflage smock or Tarnjacke in combat worn condition. A typical example of a modified smock as was done a lot with these smocks. The garment has many rips and repairs but retains its stunning bright colours. The M42 smock in Polyspot camouflage is one of the rarest smocks out there and there are only a handful surviving examples. The details on the smock are made in blurred edge with the elastics tunneled in overprint material. The garment is published in Uniforms of the Waffen-SS: Volume 2 by Michael D. Beaver on page 838. This period modified smock is a prime example as a Waffen-SS camouflage smock in combat worn condition and surely one of the very few surviving Polyspot camouflage smocks!

Beautiful Heer M40 single decal camouflage helmet found in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The helmet is marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a beautiful example with a really vibrant camouflage pattern which is hard to photograph in a studio setup but really pops in the sunlight. The helmet retains its original and factory installed liner and is named inside the skirt to Heinze. The helmet was found 10 years ago when a family from Arnhem decided to clear out the loft and sell the contents on a carboot sale. Amongst other items found with the helmet was a Stengun MKIV. The helmet has its original decal in place which peaks underneath the camouflage but is not cleaned, enhanced or denazified. The helmets exterior has been camouflaged with typical brown and green tones. A beautiful helmet with provenance to Arnhem.
