Excellent original chinstrap for Heer/Luftwaffe (Wehrmacht) EM enlisted mens visor cap. The chinstrap is unissued and in good usable condition and is very rare to find as a spare!

Extremely rare late war blue/grey coloured fabric rifle grenade pouches. These pouches are in combat used condition which is very rare and extremely scarce, in fact this is even the first set I have ever encountered! Typical construction with rough and smooth blue coloured webbing straps riveted to the fabric with LUX marked hardware. The inside of these pouches both feature 3 small sections in which a clip of 5 rifle grenade cartridges could be kept and to keep those cartridges separated from other ammunition!  Each pouch has a field applied white painted stencil to keep the type of grenades separated! The left bag carried the anti personnel rifle grenades or Gewehrsprenggranate (G. Spr.) and the right bag carried the anti tank grenades or Panzersprenggranate (P. Spr.) This is the first set of blue coloured grenade pouches with this typical construction in combat used condition and with field applied stencils I have ever seen and have the pleasure to offer. Stunning combat used set which would be impossible to upgrade!

 

 

US M1 Fixed bale helmet with MSA liner in very good condition. The helmet has the heat stamp 194B indicating production around mid 1942.

Incredibly rare single paratrooper grenade bag in Splittertarn B camouflage. The bag was issued in a pair, sewn together but at some point was used as a single bag. The zipper is marked Rapid and fully functional. These bags are very rare to find with a handful of sets remaining in very good condition!

Single original Heer shoulderstrap with period added regimental cyphers for Infanterie-Divisions-Nachschubführer 15.

Fully functional MG42 sustained fire tripod or Lafette, used for direct and indirect fire. The Lafette is a textbook wartime produced example using wartime parts. It’s a early variant marked fsu 1942 indicating production by Excelsior Fahrrad und Motorradwerk, Brandenburg. The Lafette was reissued post war in the Austrian army but still retains most if not all of its wartime components. The Lafette has been repainted; but a quick scratch test reveals that most probably you can reveal most of the original paint that’s still underneath! If you look at the second and third picture you can see what a piece of wood or plastic can do; you can easily clean off the post war paint without much hassle. A really easy restoration! The Lafette retains its original markings, the original Uberschiesstabel and a very low serial of 349 which is 13 numbers away from the earliest found example. This is a great example that would be a great base to clean to reveal its original finish; which is a rare feature to any Lafette!

PLEASE NOTE THAT ADDITIONAL POSTAGE FEES WILL BE CHARGED AFTER ORDERING due to the heavy weight. This will probably be an extra 50 euro for Europe, and 200 for outside of Europe. Pickup in our warehouse in Tampere, Finland is possible.

Extremely scarce and textbook M42 camouflage cap in excellent condition. The cap is a typical early example with sewn vents made in the plane tree overprint camouflage pattern. The cap is approximately a size 57. The cap is of textbook construction with all seams just as they should be with the centre seam flipping halfway. A perfect and textbook piece without repairs or alterations that would be very hard to upgrade.

US issue light marker, life jacket in good used condition.
