In good used condition, hard to find spare!  Nicely maker marked ftb 44.

Very rare 1939 dated hand screened SS-Verfügungstruppe plane tree 5/5 Zeltbahn. This pre war pattern plane tree is in very good condition and retains most if not all of its originally sewn green and brown anodized buttons. The Zeltbahn is in untouched condition and shows one stain in the middle. This is a typical stain from using when the Zeltbahn was rolled up and worn on the equipment. The Zeltbahn is nicely marked Warei Zeltbahn D.R.P. 1939 and Warei Petent Reichert Walter Reichert Berlin NW 40. Rare pre war SS-Verfügungstruppe Camouflage items are some of the rarest and most searched for items! Would be very hard to upgrade!

A stunning 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 picture coming after the breast eagle shot shows the stitch line, underneath the lining. 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 only one modification that is that two seams at the back waist have been taken out to make some more room in the waist. This was most probably done because the soldier became well-fed. The garment retains up to 99% of the wool fluff. One button on the shoulder is replaced. This is really a stunning and textbook EM M41 tunic in near mint condition that would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice set of two MP38 u. MP40 pouches made at the BNZ – Steyr -Daimler – Puch plant which also produced the MP40 itself. A vague ink stamp can be seen on the rear in white ink which is sadly unreadable. These pouches are made out of a variety of materials, different canvas but also at two different tones of leather. The straps that retains the D-ring to connect to the Y-strap are made out of rayon tape. This set is to be considered of mid- to latewar manufacture.

Really clean example of a M35 helmet made to M40 specifications with a single Kriegsmarine decal.

The helmet still retains 99% of its factory paint and 99% of the golden Kriegsmarine decal. The helmet is marked SE66 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet still retains its original chinstrap which is nicely maker marked and dated. Factory single decal M35 helmets are rare to find, specially Kriegsmarine and especially in such a nice condition! Can’t be upgraded.

Hard to find spare in good used condition. Length approximately 50cm. Often missing from many helmets, this is a perfect addition to a helmet with some patina.

Interesting original private pictures. Great set images typical to the invasion of France in 1940 better known as the Feldzug im Westen. Nice details such as a Crusher cap, horse drawn columns and destroyed cities.

Nice complete M38 gasmask canister in very good condition with most of the original factory paint. The straps still have the leather reinforcements. Nice complete gasmasks are becoming hard to find!

A nice original Y-strap marked RBNr. 0/0576/003. This Y-strap is a rare latewar “riveted” variant. On multiple places rivets are used in stead of stitches. Another interesting feature is the angle on which the auxiliary D-rings on top are sewn. These are typical features for this maker but sadly the RBnr. can not be traced. The Y-strap is named Brack or Brach. A very rare late war Y-strap in good used condition.

Untouched M38 gasmask in three-tone Normandy camouflage. Hard to find in untouched, combat worn condition.

Nice original Wartime map depicting most of the area of the Falaise pocket, Normandy. The area depicted was the ground last major battle in Normandy.

A nice period issue map in good condition. Nice and interesting depicted area of the south of the Netherlands.

Excellent Luftwaffe camouflaged gasmask canister named to Obergefreiter Brune. The canister retains up to 90% of its multi layered wartime applied camouflage paint. The helmet was once painted in a bright tan camouflage paint later to be topped off with grey Luftwaffe paint. The canister is named on the lens compartment and the bottom. A very aesthetic been there piece in great condition!

A Iconic edition of LIFE magazine. The tough, haggard man on the cover is one of the thousands who are winning the battle for France. He is Lt. Kelso C. Horne of the U.S. airborne infantry. Men like Lt. Horne saw their hardest fighting on June 6, when many of them were landed behind German lines in Normandy with parachute troops. In the great breakthrough in France, airborne troops are probably being used as infantry shock troops. The picture on the front is one of the most iconic images of the war. The magazine is in good and complete condition. A true ICON for any Airbornecollection!

A nice original Presstoff E-tool carrier in very good condition. The leather is supple and it can easily be displayed on a mannequin. Nicely maker marked jmb and dated 1943. Textbook mid- to late war variation made out of Ersatzmaterial!

A very nice original Luftwaffe combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser. Nicely marked with the Luftwaffe 6 Waffenamt. The knife is in good sharp condition and has never been issued, cleaned or sharpened post war. Perfect combat mannequin accessorie!

In good used condition, hard to find spare!  Nicely maker marked 0/0760/0100.

Exceptional battle damaged Fixed bale M1 helmet with St Clair liner. Most probably being a ‘lucky shot’ the bullet entered the crown of the helmet above the wearers head and exited the other side. The helmet is in very good condition with over 90% of its original factory paint. The liner is a nice low pressure St Clair liner. The helmet is a very nice example of a early fixed bale helmet with a St Clair liner and a bullet hole!
