Possibly the rarest of Waffen-SS Zeltbahns is this type in Blurred Edge or Rauchtarnmuster camouflage. The Zeltbahn is in very good condition and has minor wear to it. There are a few holes here and there, there are a few buttons missing here and there. The Zeltbahn has only recently been found in a German cloth processing factory and it hasn’t been part of a collection yet. Blurred Edge camouflage is nicely edged in Oak camouflage. Finding a better Rauchtarnmuster Zeltbahn would be very hard!

A nice original Waffen-SS Charkov parka in good used condition. The parka is the second model with the fully opening button front. The parka is in good used condition with a number of repairs and wear to the material. The parka retains its fur lining and is a size I or II. A very nice eastern front Waffen-SS cold weather garment in good used condition!

A mint condition plane tree 1/1 overprint Waffen-SS Zeltbahn. Nicely marked Warei Patent 1943. Can’t be upgraded!!

Complete set of glass buttons for a Fallschirmjäger smock. Hard to come by as a set, comes with original thread ready to sew onto a smock!

A nice set of matching tunic buttons dated 1940 and a set of scarce glass buttons used on Waffen-SS tunics and other garments. The set comes complete with a set of tunic belt support strap hooks and a spool of period issue thread. A complete set of tunic hardware that is hard to come by. I only have one set of these.

A stunning Afrika Korps bayonet with frog, brought back by a US soldier from North Africa. The bayonet is matching, unsharpened and original to the frog. The bayonet is nicely marked Mundlos, dated 1938 and still retains most of its original blueing. The bayonet was hit directly by a bullet or a shell fragment, distressing the frog, the scabbard and the blade itself. The last picture shows the trajectory the bullet or shrapnel made, most probably wounding or killing the original wearer.

A stunning original piece!

A very nice original mapcase with its original contents. The front of the mapcase has two battle damages where shell fragments pierced through the outer and inner leather portions. The contents of the mapcase have been replaced wartime and the mapcase remained in use until the end. The mapcase comes with a number of contents such as maps, pencils and a compass. A item with character, as found!

A unique set that surfaced 43 years ago in the Netherlands. These pouches are field made or modified pouches with Kriegsmarine buttons on the front. These pouches where most certainly used by a member of a Küstenartillerie unit. These pouches are certainly not textbook, but unusual, rare and 100% original. Most probably these pouches are locally made where the soldier was stationed. If you collect Küstenartillerie this is the pair for you. I have never seen another pair of these and I doubt I will. A unique set of MP38 u. 40 pouches in very good, used condition.

A nice M31 messkit in good used condition with most of its original paint. It is nicely marked EEF 41 which is a uncommon maker: Ewald Eigenbrod Aluminium-und Metallwarenfabrik, Freiling.

A nice original Zweidorn in good condition. Roughly sized 90 cm!

A nice set of original late war buttons for a complete Heer/Waffen-SS M44 tunic. If you want to put original buttons on a M44 tunic, this is the type you should get. These buttons are all in unissued condition and ready to be sewn onto a tunic!

The set consists of 10 late war “S-ring” buttons only seen on M44 tunics in blue colour. This blue colour is the textbook kind for the Heer and SS M44 button.

Next to that it includes 8 pressed paper buttons as used on the cuffs and internal pockets of the tunic.

A very nice original Laufschützer 43, a barrel carrier designed to carry both the MG34 and MG42 barrels. The barrel carrier comes with its originally attached sling in full length. The paint still retains up to 80% on this piece and it would be very hard to upgrade this piece. Most barrel carriers on the market have replaced slings, been repainted or even stripped and blued postwar. This one is a fully untouched late war example in very good original condition!

A nice M31 messkit marked MN44 indicating production by Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar (MENESA) in 1944. The messkit still retains up to 85% of its original paint.

A really nice army Einheitsfeldmütze or Officers M43 field cap. The main part cap is constructed from Gaberdine wool and is lined with rayon. The Front of the cap is featured with a brown leather sweatband. The trapezoid is a originally sewn rare green wool backed variant. The cap is sized 57.5 cm, perfect for most mannequins. The cap has a lot of character and is really well made.

 

A nice original belt in mint condition, size 80 centimeters. It is nicely marked 0/0676/0120 and it has the typical late war Blaugrau catch.

A nice and near mint lightweight Y-strap as issued to Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine personnel. Nicely marked Otto Gehrckens Pinneberg 1942.

A original German issued pullover in good condition. These sweaters where a standard issue piece just like the shirts and other uniforms. It is in very good condition and has a few small holes and a stain on the front. Most of these where used up postwar and finding a original one nowadays is very hard to find in good condition.

This sweater was wrapped around a German pistol after the war that was found a few years ago on a attic in the Netherlands. It was then handed into the police which destroyed the gun but the sweater was spared.

A nice minty early M31 Brotbeutel or breadbag in unissued condition complete with strap. Nice with leather reinforcements around the belt loops.

A equipment belt sized 95, nicely marked Wittkop & co, Bielefeld. 1942. A good mannequin size, in very good condition!
