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.

Textbook BeVo Edelweiss sleeve insignia for Gebirgsjägertroops in mint unissued condition.

Matching lightly worn original pair of Waffen-SS NCO shoulderstraps for a Unterscharführer der Panzergrenadiere. The shoulderstraps are well executed and show the textbook mid war M40 construction one would expect. The straps are in very good, lightly worn condition and would easily match to a worn tunic. The straps feature the typical tresse and green rayon piping. These straps are the lowest NCO rank for sure seeing lots of action on the front line. A very nice matching pair that is highly sought after and only scarcely encountered nowadays!
