Scarce leather carrying strap for the CXN bakelite 6×30 Dienstglas. Unlike all other wartime optical carrying straps, these have a second set of holes where a specific rain cover with its own set of studs would be attached. Scarce strap that is impossible to find!

Nice late war Zeltbahn in very good condition. This example never had grommets installed!

A stunning original M40 Waffen-SS Mantel or overcoat in good used 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 is wartime factory sewn to the sleeve. The Sturmmann insignia is period hand applied. The mantel is nicely marked in the back which is a specific Waffen-ss detail. These overcoats are very scarce and this is only the second one I’ve found with factory sewn insignia!

Scarce Heer belt buckle in Aluminum by Lehmann & Wundenberg, Hannover; one of the rarest Heer buckles to find! The buckle retains up to 99% of its wartime factory finish. Easily one of the best Heer buckles I’ve had to offer in many years!

One of the rarest accessories to any Wehrmacht artillery piece, for sure always missing! These lanyards with a pullweight where attached to the breech of the gun to create a safe space between the breech and the gunner. The breech would fly back with a high velocity breaking anything in its path such as limbs. Firing a artillery piece live without one would result in heavy injuries. For sure one of the rarest items I’ve had to offer!

When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer or barrel carrier to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Every MG team had one or two spare barrels in spare barrel carriers with their field equipment. The MG34 barrel carrier is in very good condition with 95% of the original tan colour remaining. The carrier was once overpainted in blue grey over the original tan factory paint. The carrier is nicely marked beq 1943 indicating production by Framo-Werke G.m.b.H., Hainichen/Sachsen. The carrier is complete with its original LUX marked strap and in very good condition. One of the rarest spares to find for the MG34!

A very nice LP34 in working condition. The LP34 still has the original anodization finish and never has been repainted. The finish still remains for 95%. The grips are a nice black bakelite. The LP34 is marked 237 1939 which indicates production by Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabriken Bernhard Berghaus. The flare gun has one internal spring which has been restored to the piece. This does not detract the functionality and doesn’t show externally. Although I could pass this detail I feel its fair to mention to the buyer. It is however still a great flare pistol in very good and working condition!

Note!
These flare guns are legal and free to own without permit in the Netherlands for everyone over 18 years of age. Please conduct your local laws before purchasing this product. I can only ship this item within the Netherlands.

A nice aluminum Heer belt buckle marked R. Sieper & Sohne Lüdenscheid 1938. The buckle still retains most of its factory green paint which is a rare attribute for these aluminum belt buckles. The buckle is easily graded near mint! A rare buckle in very good condition!

A nice unissued M42 helmet marked NS62 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The helmet retains its original liner. The helmet has no chinstrap, and most likely it was never fitted as it is unissued. The helmet retains up to 95% of its original field grey paint. If you are looking for a unissued M42 helmet, this is it.

A pebbled brown leather pouch for the K98 grenade launcher with its original sling. Nicely marked CXB 44 indicating production by Moll, Lederwarenfabrik, Goch, Rheinland. Incredibly rare piece; only a handful are known to exist in brown leather, this is the first one I’ve seen in pebbled leather and is most probably a unique piece!

Nice original set of Gebirgsjäger carrying strap connectors. These are virtually missing from most if not all Gebirgsjäger rucksacks and connect the carrying straps to the ammunition pouches.

A very nice late war 2cm Flak magazine pouch with a Kriegsmarine acceptance stamp.

Exceptional late war bayonet in unissued condition with a very nice Litzmannstadt made webbing frog. The bayonet is marked  42 asw indicating production by E. & F. Horster & Co. Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 0124 and has nice clean wooden grips. The bayonet is in very good minty and matching condition!

Rare early pattern knit winter hood. Issued together with the typical ringed knit gloves. These hoods are the typical early winter hoods prior to the later tube Schauschal. One of the rarest winter garment pieces to find!

Scarce and beautiful bleu webbing carrying strap for the Luftwaffe flare ammunition pouch.

Near mint original Waffen-SS reversible camouflage parka in oak-B camouflage. The parka retains most if not all originally sewn buttons of which those on the white side are marked SS-RZM. The garment is only lightly worn with some period repairs which I photographed. The garment is executed in a very nice bright and typical Waffen-SS Oak-B camouflage pattern. The garment is a nice large size 3 which will fit most if not all mannequins. A very nice garment that would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice aluminum Heer belt buckle marked Julius Kremp Lüdenscheid 1940. Hard to find maker in good condition!

Stunning mint Luftwaffe Fliegerbluse for a Gefreiter der Flak. The Fliegerbluse is a very nice example in mint condition with full wartime factory machine sewn insignia. A very nice garment that is impossible to upgrade!
