Very nice original gabardine dress tunic for a Oberleutnant der Aufklärungsabteilung Grossdeutschland. The tunic has full original insignia complete with originally cyphered shoulderboards and a stunning officers cufftitle. The garment has the original loops and insignia with the same patina as the tunic but the insignia with swastikas where in my opinion professionally reapplied post war. The insignia however, are original to the tunic. There are many period sewn award loops including for the DKIG. A stunning tunic in very good condition that would be a very nice award display base!

Although the Heer version can be found I’ve never seen a Polizei issue Stiefelknecht or boot jack.

A very nice second pattern folding shovel with carrier. The shovel is marked bovo. The set is in very good condition and would be hard to upgrade!

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 27 1/2 which translates to a modern EU 43. Both soles still retain their factory applied leather hobs. They are in great, near mint condition, perfect on a mannequin! Hard to find a great pair in this condition and size!

A textbook original undershirt in good condition. These shirts are the finishing touch to a mannequin and are becoming very hard to find. The shirt is in good used condition and has one or two small period repairs that are barely noticeable. The size is a nice medium fitting most modern mannequins. The shirt is of the first field gray model without pockets and dates between 1940 and 1942.

Very nice original sterling marked US glider wing.

Fantastic non-matching K98 bayonet with lightbrown frog. The bayonet is a pre war 1938 dated Durkopp example with lightbrown frog. The bayonet is non matching but is in very good, near mint condition.

Rare foreign made Waffen-SS collar tabs. Most probably Dutch of Flemish made!

Textbook original Waffen-SS plane tree overprint smock in combat worn condition. The smock is a typical M42 type 1 smock with straight pockets. The pockets are lined with field grey Drillich material with plane tree pocket flaps. The garment is typically sewn on the sides with a double needle seam and the rest finished with a single needle machine. The rayon drawstring is woven through handsewn holes. All of the foliage loops are fully intact. The elastic on the sleeves and waist is still in functional condition and has never been removed or replaced. The smock has a number of period repairs showing the wear. The camouflage print is strong and full of contrast and the colours very vibrant. The smock would be a prime piece in any camouflage collection and would be very hard to upgrade.

Straight E-tool in used as found condition. Nicely maker marked REX 1943 indicating production by Schwarzwälder Unternehmen der Schmiedetechnik, Baiersbronn – Friedrichstal.

A completely factory sewn original Heer M43 field blouse for a Grenadier in a Panzergrenadier unit. The tunic is in great nearly unworn condition. The tunic is complete with all of its period factory sewn insignia and a set of Panzergrenadier shoulderstraps. The tunic still retains 99% of its fluffy nap and shows little to no wear. This tunic has not been tailored or shortened and still retains the clean combat look. The tunic retains all of its period sewn buttons. Inside the tunic we can see a ink stain under one of the breast pockets. Most probably left by a pen in the breast pocket. Inside the shoulders it is noticable that this tunic hung in a closet on a hanger which left its mark on the lining. The tunic is a medium size which displays best, imo. This would be the centre point in a late war equipment setup!

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet marked 42 cod indicating production by Waffenfabrik Carl Eickhorn, Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 1528 and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good uncleaned, unsharpened and matching (!) condition and is complete with its tropical frog.

Mint condition Luftwaffe tropical sidecap marked BEROLINA BERLIN 1941. The cap is a stunning mint example with factory sewn insignia that would be impossible to upgrade.

A very nice and complete Messdreieck 34 in good working condition. The Messdreieck 34 is used to optimize indirect fire with the MG34 and MG42 on a Lafette.

Scarce used K43 ammunition pouch marked ROS 1945. Not to be confused with the hoard find pouches, this example is in used condition.

Rare French made matching K98 bayonet with original frog. The bayonet is in good matching condition and marked JWH 42 indicating production by Manufacture Nationale (Staatliche Waffenfabrik) Chatellerault in France. Bayonets maker marked JWH are highly sought after and only scarcely encountered in good condition. The bayonet comes with its original frog dated 1940.

A very nice LP34 in working condition. The LP34 still has the full green anodization finish and never has been repainted. The finish still remains for 99% and this is one of the nicest LP34 flare guns I’ve ever owned.  The LP34 is marked AYF 41 which indicates production by “Erma”, B. Geipel, G.m.b.H., Waffenfabrik, Erfurt.

Perfect mint example of a pre war leather equipment belt marked Ernst Köhnen Solingen 1939. The belt is a size 95 which is a nice average mannequin size. Perfect pre war belt that can’t be upgraded.
