A very nice 6×30 Dienstglas complete with strap and bakelite rain guard marked dym indicating production by Runge & Kaulfuss, Rathenow which is a very hard maker mark to find! The binoculars are in good clear condition with the rangefinder or Strichplatte still retaining in the right reticle. A nice piece in good condition!

A very nice pre war double decal M40 Polizei helmet. The helmet is nicely marked Q62 indicating production by Quist with the lot number 4768 which falls clearly within the range of Quist helmets made for LW, Heer and SS. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet which have never been removed. The three brass rivets are tight and lightly oxidized to the liner. The helmet is a very early factory repaint with another layer of textured paint with a set of decals. The left side of the helmet has clear traces of silver Heer decal under the paint. The original early borderless Polizei decals still retain up to 95%. A very nice M35 Polizei helmet that would be a very nice addition to any helmet collection!

Stunning NS64 M42 three-tone Normandy camouflage helmet. The helmet is in good used condition and nicely marked NS64 with lot number D219 indicating production by Nickelwerke Schwerte. The helmet retains up to 85% of its original three-tone Normandy camouflage paint. The colours are strong and vibrant.  The leather liner is original to the helmet and shows indicatory traces of blood staining indicating this a most probably a KIA helmet. The helmet is a stunning and textbook example of a three-tone Normandy camouflage helmet in great condition!

A very nice original M31 Zeltbahn in good used condition. The Zeltbahn is nicely marked Warei Patent in the corners and dated 1941.

A late war hooded Waffen-SS Wachmantel in good used condition. Nicely marked 2392/43 and named to Bechler. A lot of these mantels can be seen in pictures of the Ardennes offensive worn by members of Kampfgruppe Hansen and in and around La Gleize. These mantels where specifically made for the Waffen-SS and lack the french cuffs the Heer types have. The mantel shows a lot of wear and age and would make a great addition to a late war Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Rare leather A-frame strap in mint unissued condition. Hard to find spare for any A-frame! The strap is in good supple and unissued condition.

Nice original and textbook mid war A-frame in very good condition complete with all supple straps. Hard to find in good condition!

Stone mint pair of M40 trousers for use in the Heer or Waffen-SS. The pair retains all of its originally sewn buttons and retains 100% of the nap in the wool. Guaranteed the best pair on the market today. The pair is in mint condition with absolutely zero issues.

Rare late war short handled pioneer wire cutters with rare late war Ersatz type pouch made from cloth. This is the first time I’ve ever encountered this model! Incredibly scarce model!

A very rare Gebirgsjäger rucksack waist strap in good, unissued condition. This piece is virtually always missing from all Gebirgsjäger rucksacks and impossible to find as a spare!

A nice aluminum Heer belt buckle marked NOWA Hamburg 1938. Hard to find a buckle from NOWA !

Nice original late war Luftwaffe Felddivision smock in Splittertarn B camouflage. Nicely marked R.B.Nr. 0/0250/2476 indicating production by Franz Weck and Märkische Bekleidungs- und Wäscheherstellung. The smock is a obviously combat worn example in very nice uncleaned condition. The eagle is hand sewn to the garment and the garment has a few period repairs of which two are notably done in Splittertarn B on Grünmeliert fabric. The garment is a nice large mannequin size and would be a nice base for a combat mannequin!

Stunning mid to late war grey Heer/Waffen-SS breadbag in unissued condition with strap. Rare late war variant with grey canvas!

Stunning period converted Waffen-SS M38 smock in plane tree camouflage. Not to be confused with Zeltbahn material, this jacket was made on the base of a M38 camouflage smock which shows many details only seen on M38 and M40 smocks. The jacket is heavily lined in thick fur. A stunning one looker original field made Waffen-SS camouflage garment, surely one of a kind!

A nice original Heer or Waffen-SS officers tunic in very good, lightly worn condition. The garment shows signs of a cufftitle and sleeve eagle once applied. There are vague traces of a breast eagle but not as clear as that of the sleeve eagle. Nice base tunic for a restoration of your own choice.

A nice original M41 field jacket with insignia for a Private First Class in the famous 104th Infantry Division. The Jacket is in obvious nice worn condition. Unlike many minty M41 field jackets out there this one has a lot of character.

A very nice mint original pack of Lucky strike cigarettes. Iconical piece loved and smoked by both the American and German soldiers. Hard to find in mint condition with original content and military tax label!

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 90% 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!

Stunning and rare late war NCO Panzer wrap in unissued condition. Nice rich wool, rayon lined example for a Panzer NCO. The wrap is nicely made and with all of its buttons. The Wrap is lightly shortened but otherwise without tailor done alterations. The breast eagle and collar tabs are handsewn to the piece. The collar tabs are nicely pink rayon bordered with three pronged skulls. The shoulderstraps are textbook for a Oberfeldwebel in Panzer Regiment 11. The breast is adorned with two sets of award loops. These Panzer wraps are very rare because the armored corps made up only a small percentage of the whole Wehrmacht. The high amount of losses in the Panzer units is another reason remaining original examples are scarce. The garment is a textbook original in a sea of fakes! The garment would be a centerpiece in any uniform display and one-looker original panzer wraps like this one are very, very scarce!
