A must have for every SOE or British collector; this revised book by Michael Side and Anders Thygesen compiles most if not all known SOE items. A reference of drop containers, weapons, explosives, manuals, communication devises and certain missions. The book is not openly available to the open market as it has been printed in a very limited run. I have 15 examples in stock and after those are sold it will be very hard to obtain a copy. The items showed in the book go beyond rare; most of them meant for one time use and destroy after only. Hence the rarity of these items in the book. A great reference book with great, in depth information!

Original yet restored uniform set belonging to one man. According to the collector I bought it from the insignia were found together with the uniform; the breast eagle, cuff title and collar tabs were restored post war. The garment is in good, worn condition and is a typical pre war Waffenrock modified for field wear with the addition of two lower pockets. The insignia is typical for a Leutnant der Panzergrenadiere and match the condition of the jacket. The garment has a few moth damages here and there but is in good displayable and been there condition.

Excellent pre war aluminium single tent peg in excellent and most likely unissued condition. The tent peg is nicely marked S&C 37 which indicates production by an unclear producer in 1937. The peg is original and complete with its factory attached cord!

US 1st Ranger Bn patch in unissued condition.

Beautiful, matching pair of K98 pouches marked RBNr. 0/0465/0012. Undamaged, non modified pair with full inner partitions. Hard to upgrade, matching pair!

Luftwaffe EM Pionier shoulderstraps in good condition. Typical early examples with black wool piping.

Waffen-SS rank collar tab for a SS-Schütze in uniform removed condition.

Waffen-SS soulderboards der (Panzer)Artillerie in excellent condition. Hard to find in good condition!

Single Heer Sanitäter officer collar tab in uniform removed condition.

A nice and matching pair of Heer EM/NCO collar tabs or Einheitslitzen in unused condition. These were typical examples sewn onto the collar by tailors and or soldiers who wanted a smarter appearance of their field blouse or by those that did not have the needed talent to sew these on correctly. A nice pair in good condition that would easily restore to a M40 and later field blouses.

Heer Jäger or light infantry cap insignia in good condition with all three prongs intact.

Kriegsmarine visor cap eagle in good condition with most of its finish intact.

Second pattern Heer visor cap eagle marked W40 in unapplied condition.
