Textbook matching Waffen-SS collar tabs for a SS-Untersturmführer. Textbook uniform removed set that was sent home by the US veteran SGT. CLARE ASCHE (Silver Star) 357th Infantry Regiment, 90th Infantry division before he was killed in action in Metz. Asche stated he took these tabs from a KIA member of the 17. SS Panzergrenadier Division Götz von Berlichingen. The set is in salty condition with lots of wear and character. Choice pair!

Allthough I’ve found the German-Russian variant quite a few times; this is the first time I see a Russian version dated 1941.

Excellent large traditional Finnish Puukko knife made by Martini Rovaniemi in 1942. The blade reads Sotamuisto indicating its a war souvenir. The arctic birch handle has been decorated with a blue enamel badge that was often obtained from the Soldatenheim and or Sotilaskoti. These knives where very popular amongst German troops fighting in Finland on the Nordfront. Many wartime images of soldiers serving in 6. SS Gebirgsjäger Division ‘Nord’ can be seen wearing these typical Finnish knives. In Finland, receiving a puukko as a gift is considered an honour, the idea being that the presenter is giving the recipient a tool which is essential for both woodworking and preparing food and as a weapon and that the presenter takes into account the well-being of the recipient. The Puukko in question is a very large variant roughly the size of a K98 bayonet.

Twelve matching K98 ammunition clips marked P327.39. Exactly enough clips for a full set of K98 pouches.

Original mid war steel RG34 oiler marked RG34 indicating production by Gustav Appel, Berlin.

Unique, untouched netted M35 or M40 helmet with wartime applied camouflage paint. The helmet is complete with a wartime photograph showing this very helmet and the net, unmistakingly identifying it. The helmet is marked ET66 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale with lot number 425. The helmet is a killer example of a wartime camouflage helmet with thick concrete paint completely embedding the liner pins and airvents. This would be a impeccable helmet for any helmet collector, impossible to upgrade and textbook Rautarn and Tarnnetz camouflage helmet complete with a wartime photograph of the wearer AND the helmet itself.
