Hard to find Zeiler 4848 bakelite flashlight in very good working condition. The flashlight is complete with the button strap manufactured out of Presstoff and would be very hard to upgrade. There are one or two chips in the bakelite but otherwise it would easily be graded mint! I added a wartime picture of one of these in use. One of my favorite collectibles are bakelite torches, and this one is a perfect example!

A nice original early Erkennungsmarke to 12. Kompanie Infanterie Regiment 461. A unit which fought in the 1940 Westfeldzug starting with the attack at the Maginot line. The Erkennungsmarke comes with its original string and a lucky charm.

A great original buckle in the rare transitional variant with the eagle facing the left. The buckle is in mint condition. The left facing buckle was only made between January and March 1936. A rare and desirable buckle that is a must have for every buckle collector!

Nice original belt and buckle in untouched as found condition. The belt buckle is nicely marked RSS and the leather tab reads R. Sieper & Sohne 1938 Lüdenscheid. The belt and buckle where recently found in household clearing in central Germany.

Nice original hight calculating computer belonging to the US Airforce during world war two. The computer comes in its original leather pouch and is in very good condition!

Stone mint USMC P41 herringbone jacket size 36. The garment is dated October 27 1944 and will be exactly 75 years old in a few days!

Very nice obviously service used GP ammo bag dated 1944. The bag is a very nice issued and impregnated example!

Very nice US army gas impregnated hood, winter size medium dated 1943.

US ww2 money belt named and I’Ded to S/Sgt. Willian D. Ingram ASN 33029688. Inside is some sort of written code. Maybe a safe combination? Nice personal item with a full working zipper.

A stunning set consisting of a M40 field blouse and the trousers it was issued with. Both the tunic and trousers are in the same stunning condition and both in a desirable size suitable for most if not all modern mannequins. The field blouse is of the M40 type with all of its original factory sewn insignia. The early style breast eagle has been machine sewn on the top, flipped over and fully zig-zag machine sewn. The early style Litzen are also factory applied. The shoulder boards are in the same wool colour and white rayon piped indicating Infanterie. All of these insignia are original to the tunic, and have not been added, restored or anything like it. The early style breast eagle and Litzen indicate production prior to May 1940 when they switched to the lightgrey Litzen and field grey breast eagle. The tunic has not been shortened, modified, or restored in any way. I can not see any damages be it moth or repairs. Imo this tunic has never been worn.

The trousers are equally mint but have minor storage wear to them. The trousers are a nice size, just like the tunic. Notable is the early wool colour just like the tunic they are constructed of. This colour of wool was only used for trousers for a short period of time. The trousers are nicely marked and dated 1940.

This set has been found together and would make a killer early war display. Finding a original set is hard, especially a early M40 like this with the early style insignia configuration – a set like this is a one off and surely a centerpiece to any uniform collection!

A nice original period Kurvenmesser in its original box. Small mapcase accessories that are hard to find!

A nice bayonet marked 44 fnj indicating production by Alexander Coppel GmbH (aka Alcoso), Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 1396 M and has nice red bakelite grips. The bayonet is in unsharpened and matching (!) condition.

Very nice near mint Heer tropical breadbag marked Dohse Bielefeld 1942. Very hard to find a tan tropical breadbag!

Nice second pattern folding E-tool with E-tool marked gcq 41. Unlike many if not all folding E-tools that are on the market today this one does not bear any signs of being repainted/cleaned or repaired. Superb set in very good near mint condition that would be hard if not impossible to upgrade!

A superb Heer M41 EM Feldbluse in unissued condition. The green Einheitslitzen are period factory sewn to the collar. The breast eagle is period factory machine sewn on the top, flipped and finished by machine. The insignia are all wartime factory machine sewn and it does not show any signs of moved, replaced or restored insignia or stitch holes. The garment was most probably kept for walking out and has absolutely no modifications or upgrades. The garment retains up to 99% of the wool fluff and would easily earn the well coined nickname ‘depot queen’. This is typically the rarest type of Heer Feldbluse available in the best possible condition. This is really a stunning and textbook EM M41 tunic in near mint condition that is impossible to upgrade!

A very nice M31 canteen marked ESB 34 indicating production by Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin. The cloth cover has one or two moth damages. Otherwise the canteen is the earliest example I’ve ever had to offer!

A textbook pair of Schnürschuhe in unissued condition. The leather is strong and very supple on these boots and they are complete with their original laces. The boots are a nice large mannequin size 28 and are in good supple condition. The boots where issued to someone with two uneven feet and therefor issued one size 28 8 and one 28 6 during the war. Minor difference that won’t show on display! The size is large, perfect for mannequins. Hard to upgrade textbook pair of lowboots!

A one looker original camouflaged MG34/42 ammunition box in very good condition. The box still retains up to 90% of its original camouflage paint and would be very hard to upgrade!
