A stunning double decal army or Heer helmet in been-there, battle damaged condition. This helmet was produced in 1938 as the date in the Liner suggests. Both decals are still in very nice condition and the camouflage paint was neatly painted around it during the war. The helmet was worn a lot and received a extra layer of thick camouflage paint often referred to as Rautarn. The helmet has a wartime battle damage on the top. Most likely a explosion was near the helmet which cracked the shell. Most likely due to this explosion the rear liner pin was replaced at some point with a original split pin. Other then this the helmet is “untouched”. The Liner and chinstrap belong with the helmet and the buckle of the chinstrap has a drop of the green camouflage paint on it.

A stunning ‘killer’ lid which would be hard to replace!

A great original late war Soldbuch to a SS-Reiter Arnold Krüger who was a member of the 37. SS Division Lützow. The Soldbuch was issued to him late in 1944 in Warschau. Krüger went into treatment for frost related wounds in March 1945. He was armed with a K98 with the serial 7910. The book is filled with interesting notes worthy of further research. He wasn’t awarded any awards or decorations. As far as I can tell he survived the war.

A very nice late war Waffen-SS Soldbuch with many interesting entries!

A nice late war canteen marked ESB 44 and MN44. The canteen has a nice late war gaberdine cover and a nice brown leather strap. Rare to find with a brown leather strap, supple and in one piece!

A nice Black 1937 dated M1910 messkit marked RZM M6/1/37. This tall, pre war model was most probably made and used by a political organization. The prewar political models for the Hitlerjugend, Allgemeine-SS and SA where finished in a black paint. Sometimes these where used by members of the Waffen-SS as well, as some wartime images of the 12 SS Panzerdivision show.

A nice original M31 messkit marked RFI39 indicating production by Rudolf Fissler KG, Idar-Oberstein in 1939. The messkit is nicely named to Bergmann on the bottom.

A nice original messkit in good condition with most of its original paint!

A insanely rare folding shovel carrier that has been converted during the war to carry the straight E-tool. These where converted during the war due to a shortage of straight shovel carriers at some point. I included a few wartime images. Very rare original converted cover in good used condition!

– please note, the carrier comes without shovel! –

A nice gasmask canister that has been brush painted with the same non reflective Feldgrau paint as can be seen on the so called re-issue helmets. The mask is complete with its originals straps and mask. A great original camouflage canister in good condition!

A nice set with its original straps and named to Stfw..(Stabsfeldwebel) Maage. The mask is matching to the canister with the same number. Hard to upgrade named set!

A stunning original three-tone Normandy gasmask canister with its original straps and mask. The mask is nicely named to Stabsarzt Dr. Koch , L. 17900, Hbg. 1  . The canister still retains its bright camouflage colours and a Feldpostnumber inside the lid L17900 referring to the following units:

17900
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) Stab Reserve-Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 
268
(15.7.1942-24.1.1943) Stab Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 268
(25.1.1943-31.7.1943) Stab Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 268 (o)
(24.3.1944-6.11.1944) 9.10.1944 Flakscheinwerfer-Regimentsstab 171 
(v).

Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 268 was moved to Koningsberg late 1944 in which it saw fierce battles.

Great late war MG34 and MG42 tool pouch in unissued condition. The pouch does not have any internals which is exactly how this model should be. The pouch is in very good, never used condition!

A very nice battle damaged gasmask canister in good as found condition. A nice display piece!

A very nice 1940 dated canteen in very good condition. All the parts are nicely marked L&SL 40 indicating production by Linnepe & Schiffer Metallwarenfabrik, Lüdenscheid. A very nice canteen in very good condition!

A nice bakelite container for carbide for the Wehrmacht issue lantern. In good condition without any damages!

A extremely rare complete spare parts set for the bakelite carbide lantern. It is complete with everything it should have, which is very rare. Most of these spare parts sets where either stripped after the war, retain in heavily used or incomplete condition. This one still has all the spare parts including tools, rubber rings and the manual.

Can’t be upgraded!

A very nice matching canteen with the parts nicely marked FWBN 44  indicating production by F.W. Brockelmann Aluminiumwerk GmbH KG, Neheim/Ruhr. The flask is marked 43 and the other parts 44 indicating production early January 1944.

Hard to upgrade!

A very nice, near mint, untouched single decal Heer M42 helmet complete with its original liner and chinstrap. The helmet is marked ET62 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale and has a size 55 liner. The helmet fully retains its original Heer decal and is still in a dusty untouched condition. The helmet has a lot of nice dusty patina and makes a great display piece.

Can’t be upgraded, imo!

This sketchbook, first brought out in 1942, features many drawings and watercolours of the German artist Hans Liska. Liska was a artist born in 1907 and drafted into a Propagandakompanie in 1939. He illustrated his war and bundled his sketchbook in his Skitzenbuch. The book is a great pictorial reference to the war with many stunning and fascinating illustrations. This book is a great item for the collector with an eye for aesthetics or art. I’ll just let the pictures do the talking of this stunning bundle of wartime images!

A very nice M43 EM/NCO field cap or Einheitsfeldmütze. The cap is nicely marked 0/2009/0004 which refers to “Almi” Unlform- u. Mützenfabrlk. lnh. Alfred Miss, Luxemburg , Herstellung v. Uniformen und Mützen aller Art dated 1944 and in size 57 which is a great average mannequin size. The cap has all the details that one would like to see on one of these textbook caps! The BeVo trapezoid is originally sewn to the piece and has never been removed from the piece. Finding a cap like this is very hard, especially in nice used condition with originally sewn insignia.

A very nice pioneer handsaw in good used condition made by Marke Steigo in 1941 and etched by a veteran as a bringback. The brown leather scabbard is nicely marked  Lederwarenwerk Curt Vogel Cottbus 1940. The saw is in good condition with all the teeth intact. The saw still functions great! The handle is missing a small portion of the wood but this is something I see at most of these pioneer saws. I think it has to do with the bayonet is positioned direct next to it on the equipment belt. This pioneer saw comes with the textbook brown leather scabbard dated 1940. The saw would make a awesome addition to a pioneer display and is really in very good condition!

A nice one looker original M35 normandy camouflage helmet with battle damage on the rim. The helmet retains most of its spray painted three tone normandy camouflage on top of a rough brush applied re-issue paint. The helmet has a battle nice battle damage from a bullet or shrapnel on the rim. The helmet is early but has a later liner which makes sense since it is a re-issue helmet. The helmet retains its original split pins covered in camouflage paint. The strap has been added to the helmet in my opinion. The helmet has nice patina and a Heer decal clearly showing through the camouflage paint!

A nice camouflage helmet with battle damage!
