Stunning M36 field blouse for a Spiess in a Artillerieabteilung. Nicely tailored M36 tunic with fully originally sewn insignia. On the right breast pocket are 4 added double loops for awards and one for a ribbon bar on top. The tunic is a nice medium size and has a small name tag to H. Lanzenberger. The tunic has a nice lighty worn appeal that would nicely compliment any collection. The nap in the wool retains nearly fully except for some of the rough edges of the pockets. The tunic has a set of sewn in and modified M40 shoulderstraps for a Hauptfeldwebel der Artillerie. On the bottom of both sleeves two long bands of Tresse are sewn indicating the Hauptfeldwebel was also the Spiess of the Kompanie. A very rare tunic in great condition that is a stunning display piece for medal bars and awards!

A nice late war reinforced Leuchtpistole 42 or LP42 flare pistol. Nicely marked euh indicating production by Metallwarenfabrik C.u. W. Meinel-Scholer, Kligenthal/Sachsen. The pistol still retains the original red brown grips, wartime finish on the metal and has not been refinished or reissued postwar. The flare pistol is fitted with a single piece hammer and is reinforced above the grip. The serial is 071776. The best example I’ve ever owned.

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 winter fur flight jacket or Kanaljacke in good used condition. The jacket has a metal Lufwaffe eagle on the breast. The jacket is in good used condition with three working zippers. The press studs are in good working condition.
The front breastpocket has a small handsewn repair on the bottom. A nice winter flight jacket in good condition!

A nice and minty M35 reissue helmet with perfect decal, liner and chinstrap. The helmet is simply one of the cleanest examples I’ve found! The helmet is nicely marked EF62 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda. The helmet is complete with its original minty chinstrap and liner. Inside the dome stamp clearly shows the helmet was assembled in 1937. The helmet still retains up to 99% of its wartime paint and both of its minty decals of which one is overpainted. Nice helmet!

Mint late war trouser braces as used and issued with the M43 or M44 trousers. Very rare set that fits perfectly with a M44 uniform!

A nice mapcase that was found with the items inside. The small wallet has a set of shoulder straps numbers indicating the individual soldier was a member of Infanterie Regiment 19. The mapcase is in strong used condition but still nice and supple and more importantly, with its original contents!

A very nice Dot44 or Erbsentarn camouflage HBT combat tunic. This tunic is in very good condition and has nice colours. Inside and on one sleeve a few dark green stains can be seen. The tunic has a few machine sewn repairs (see pictures). The sleeve does not show signs of a sleeve eagle being removed. The size is big and good for most mannequins. The tunic is marked 0/0793/0101 indicating production by Textil und Bekleidungswerke GmbH Becker. Clearly a original Waffen-SS camouflage tunic in lightly worn condition.

Nice and rare Gaberdine M43 tunic for a Feldwebel u. Offiziersanwarter for a Gebirgsjäger. The tunic has a variety of period sewn loops for awards and ribbons. The tunic has a nice pair of rayon piped Gebirgsjäger shoulder straps indicating Feldwebel u. Offiziersanwarter. The flatwire bevo breast eagle and other insignia have been machine sewn. The Gebirgsjäger Edelweiss has been handsewn. A typical insignia configuration for a Officer candidate on a very nice, rare late war Gaberdine M43 tunic.

A nice big ET66 M35 double decal helmet in very good used condition. The helmet is marked ET66 indicating prodution by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale. The helmet is one of the earliest Luftwaffe M35 helmets having a non reinforced first pattern Schuberth 1931 dated leather liner. Both of the early decals are present including the early “droop tail” Luftwaffe decal. One of the rivets is a wartime replacement. Inside the neck of the helmet a small piece of tape is applied with a handwritten text;

Property of LT. Col. L.A. Zimmer

Lieutenant Colonel Layton Allen Zimmer served in the Navy in world war one, and later in world war two served in North Africa and Europe. As a first lieutenant he was stationed in Hawaii on a coastal artillery battery between the wars and most probably during the Pearl Harbor raid.

The helmet is one of the first production run M35’s for the Luftwaffe and has the rare first model liner. The paint on the helmet still retains up to 85% and especially for the date is still in very good condition!

A great original buckle in the rare transitional variant with the eagle facing the left. The buckle is in mint condition. The left facing buckle was only made between January and March 1936. A rare and desirable buckle that is a must have for every buckle collector!

A near mint MG42 tool pouch marked OaZ 4. The pouch is in good condition with all straps and D-ring intact. Like most of these pouches made by OaZ the internals are missing. Very nice pouch!

A very nice mid war belt buckle marked N&H 1942 indicating production by Nolle & Hueck, Lüdenscheid.  The buckle is finished in Blaugrau paint thats also known as Einheitsfarbe. The buckle is the earliest example of a blue painted Heer buckle that I’ve found. These early blue buckles are referred to as being made and issued to the Kriegsmarine. Later in the war the blue Heer buckles started being issued to other branches and officially labeled Einheitskoppelschloss. Hard to find a early blue buckle!

A stunning set consisting of a M40 field blouse and the trousers it was issued with. The set is completely untouched and is how I bought it straight from a german household clearer in in 2013. Both the tunic and trousers are in the same minty condition and both in a desirable large size suitable for most if not all mannequins. The field blouse is of the M40 type with all of its original factory sewn insignia. The early style breast eagle has been machine sewn on the top, flipped over and the bottom handsewn. The early style Litzen are also factory applied. The shoulder boards are white rayon piped indicating Infanterie. All of these insignia are original to the tunic, and have not been added, restored or anything like it. The early style breast eagle and Litzen indicate production prior to May 1940 when they switched to the lightgrey Litzen and field grey breast eagle. Inside the collar is a 1940 dated Kragenbinde and the bandage pocket is also filled with a 1940 dated bandage. The tunic has not been shortened, modified, or restored in any way. I can not see any damages be it moth or repairs. Imo this tunic has never been worn

The trousers are equally mint but have minor storage wear to them. I can see one small moth hole on the bottom that is approximately 2mm. It would easily be masked with any boot. The trousers have their original suspenders by Herkules and marked DRP on the leather tabs. The trousers are a nice big size, just like the tunic.

This set has been found together, has not been owned by any other collector and would make a killer early war display. Finding a original set is hard, especially a early M40 like this with the early style insignia configuration.

A nice pair of Gebirgsjäger boots in good used condition. Nicely maker marked 0/0761/0061. The size is a nice average size 27, not too small or big. A nice pair to finish a mannequin with!

Possibly the rarest of Waffen-SS Zeltbahns is this type in Blurred Edge or Rauchtarnmuster camouflage. The Zeltbahn is in strong used condition and has some clear wear to it. There are a few holes here and there, there are a few buttons missing.

A superb(!) example of the first type M38 paratrooper helmet to follow the pre war double decal model in 1940. First issued in 1940 it still has the early aluminum liner and a low lot number 719. Nicely marked ET68 indicating production by Eisen- u. Huettenwerke, Thale, Harz. The helmet has a size 68 shell and a large size 58 liner. The liner is the early aluminum type with light grey padding material. The helmet retains all 4 of its original early type vented bolts and their nuts. This is probably one of the first helmets to be finished in feldgrau with a single decal in 1940. Surely the best M38 paratrooper helmet we’ve ever had on offer!

A very nice M42 Kochgeschirr marked WJ43. The messkit is painted red oxide covered externally finished in olive paint. The messkit retains up to 95% of its original brown finish.

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. 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 to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!
