A nice album with many interesting pictures depicting the daily life of the Flak soldier. The front of the album is nicely embossed with the pre-war “Droop tail” Luftwaffe decal. The owner of the album knew its way around a camera which resulted in a album with nicely composed photographs. Really a nice photo album with good pictures!

A nice prewar Reichswehr buckle in very good condition. These buckles where issued until 1936 and where in some cases still in use during the war. A uncommon buckle made from Alpacca!

A beautiful though unusual M31 zeltbahn that has been made without the grommets at the corners for the tent poles and ropes. This was done later in the war to further save on raw materials. This is the first time I encounter a Splitter zeltbahn like this without grommets. The zeltbahn has a very nice and strong colour contrast and looks to be in unused condition. There are  one or two minor oles in the fabric but overall it looks bright, as new!

A rare late war M31 Zeltbahn !

A beautiful first model reversible winter parka of the Luftwaffe. This first model is recognizable to the blue wool used on the dark side. It is nicely LBA marked on the closing flap. The White side is still in good condition and has a few minor stains. The blue side has a hole on the back underneath the hood. The white side has a few minor holes on the back. One blue button is missing, other then that it is complete with all drawstrings and buttons.

A great first model Wendejacke that is one of the rarest models in great condition!

A nice long handled wire cutter with it’s original early pouch. The pouch is nicely maker, location and date marked G. Genschow, Berlin. 1937 and marked with the prewar Waffenamt 387. The wire cutters are in great condition and retain most of their original finish. The blades are Waffenamt marked and still in good condition; they still work great on steel wire. The handles still retain most of their pressed paper handles and bakelite end knobs. These wire cutters where mostly used by pioneers but lots of them can be seen used in the hands of squad leaders during operation Fall Gelb in 1940.

A rare and desirable set that I probably won’t find another one of soon!

A very nice latewar messkit or Kochgeschirr made by Annweiler Email-u.Metall-Werke in late 1944 or 1945. The marking RBNR. 0/0657/0001 was a latewar substitute for AEM.A. which is usually stamped on items from this maker. This messkit is finished with enamel and after that painted over before it left the factory. A lot of paint still remains on the lid and the RB number, covered by this paint can still be seen. The messkit has one small hole in the bottom but retains 90% of its original enamel finish.

A truly uncommon and interesting latewar messkit!
