Rare Panzer school training and recognition wooden Sd. Kfz. 171 Panther Ausf. This model once was used in the barracks of a Panzer school where it was used to indicate armor thickness, maneuverability and maintenance. This model is fully handcrafted out of wood with several small moving parts. The machingegun rotates in its ball-turret, as does the large turret with the main gun elevating. The driver viewport can be opened or closed. The front fenders can be tilted upwards. The wheels are all moving and the tracks are intact. One of the two rear crew stowage compartments on the rear has been professionally restored. The original factory tan paint is fully remaining. Some models were made with paper labels underneath or with stamped markings of it being army property. The Panzerkampfwagen VI Panther Ausf. A is a iconic piece that would be a centre piece in any Panzer collection. The Panther retains most of its original details, wheels and accessories. This example is a double out of my personal collection. Most of these are incomplete or classed as scrap iron Panzer wrecks; this one is ready for display. Out of all the Panzer recognition models this is probably the most sought after model that would nicely display with Panzer Wraps or Panzerkampfabzeichen!

I can ship this piece in a good, sturdy double layer box with the turret removed from the hull. I will take great care if I do but pickup is an option.

Tall M38 gasmask set with field applied Feldgrau paint named Obergefreiter Imm 42931. The gasmask set is in good used condition and is complete with all parts. The straps retain their leather reinforcements. The feldpostnummer 42931 indicates a barrage balloon unit but was later reissued to Artillerie Regiment 136 late in 1944, serving with the 16 Volksgrenadier Division during the Ardennes offensive. Beautiful set, nice for further research!

Very nice “tropical” M31 breadbag in good condition. This breadbag is most likely made in the Ghetto of Lodz, Poland which the Germans renamed into “Litzmannstadt”. They are made using parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the (BEF) British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent this British equipment to Litzmannstadt for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. Y-straps, A-frames and rucksacks are a few of the items made in Litzmannstadt. Very nice original M31 breadbag!

Textbook late war breadbag in good condition.

Textbook late war manufactured M31 in very good, most likely unissued condition. The construction of this breadbag shows mixed materials where both leather and webbing are used. This is a typical late war feature. The breadbag is nicely marked with a big ink stamp; RBNr. 0/0650/0345 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example!
