Rare untouched Waffen-SS Bergmütze in excellent condition. A textbook Waffen-SS mountain cap with factory hand sewn BeVo eagle and skull, neatly embedded in the wool. The cap is a textbook constructed Bergmütze or mountain cap. The cap is lined in grey ribbed cotton and finished with a leather sweatband. The liner is nicely size marked 56. The wool of the cap is typical early to mid war quality, with a very light colour difference between the top and side of the hat. The hat is in very good, lightly worn condition. It was found in 1978 in France and was part of a small collection from a local history teacher. The cap is a textbook and exceptionally rare example that would be impossible to upgrade.

Another example that I believe from the same manufacturer can be seen here; https://virtualgrenadier.com/sale_item.php?iid=5747

Rare fully matching deactivated G41(W) rifle in good condition. The rifle is a unmolested example with full matching numbers. The wooden stock or metal work have not been refinished. The rifle is without any serious defects and is matching complete to the cleaning rod. The rifle is a rare example with a handful of examples remaining today. These rifles saw a lot of action in Normandy with the 21. Panzerdivision and with elements of FJR6. The rifle is marked duv 43 indicating production by BLM (Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabrik. Of 145.000 G41 (W)’s being produced in 1940, this is one of the few that is left and would make a great addition to any collection!

Pickup is preferred, shipping within the Netherlands at cost of quality packaging and shipping at your own risk. I will not and can not ship this outside the EU.

Near mint original and extremely rare Waffen-SS reversible parka in blurred edge or Rauchtarnmuster camouflage. The parka retains most if not all originally sewn buttons. The garment is only lightly worn if at all with a handsewn repair to the collar/hood which I photographed. The garment is executed in a very nice bright and typical Waffen-SS blurred edge camouflage pattern. The garment is a nice large size which will fit most if not all mannequins. Rarer then the spring colored oak parka – possibly the rarest Waffen-SS winter garment to find!

Stunning original Waffen-SS M42 combat helmet marked EF68 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda. The helmet bears its textbook EF SS decal and paint retaining up to 90%. The helmet is a very big size 68 shell with its originally mounted late war spliced liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a typical late war example of a rare and big sized original Waffen-SS helmet. Very hard to find big sized SS helmets especially in great condition like this one!

Excellent first world war privately purchased officers helmet made by Ludwig Bortfeldt, Bremen. This helmet is thé cover helmet pictured on Feldzug, Volume 1 by Michael Baldwin. The helmet is a well known and well documented example; probably one of the most wanted examples out there. Underneath is a quote from Michael Baldwin’s observations on this very helmet from Feldzug, volume 1. 

The helmet was for an officer in an unidentified  Dragoon regiment. It was much more difficult to construct than the previous Sharko: The whole body is made of cloth-covered cork including the peaks, as is the silhouetted front plate, visible under the cloth covering as well as the cockades. All the other helmet furniture is cloth0covered metal, apart from the uncovered, raw brass, convex mounted, troop styled chin scales. There is another identical helmet among the very large helmet collection in the Fort De La Pompelle, a very good museum just outside of the city of Reims, France. This helmet has uncovered chin scales. It may transpire that this was a Bortfeldt feature but this is my own speculation.

There is a glued repair to the spike at some time in the past and the lower portion shows evidence of previously having eyelets/grommets in the ventilation holes. There are six sewn cotton retaining loops to the front of the badge and four to the rear. Although now missing, these would have held in place red woolen regimental numbers which were mounted on the same type of cloth that is covering the helmets exterior, when required for field manoeuvres or wartime service.

This is a spectacular helmet is exceptionally rare and can be seen on the cover and extensively photographed inside of Feldzug, Volume 1 – making this one of the most desirable first world war Pickelhauben on the market today!

Stunning and textbook named single decal Waffen-SS M40 helmet marked ET66 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a textbook example for a Waffen-SS m40 helmet in very good condition. The dome stamp is clearly visible. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original factory finish and 80% of its textbook ET runic decal. The hemet is a untouched example with its original liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a nice large size 66 with a nice 58 size liner. The helmet retains its period factory applied textbook ET style runic decal up to 80%. Really a stunning example of one of the most iconic pieces out there that would be hard to upgrade!

Unique offering of a original Period altered battledress to a member of the First Polish Independent Parachute Brigade. The battledress is a typical Polish used example with period altered pointed and opened collar, the shoulderstraps with aluminum Tresse in the rank of Sergeant is also period sewn to the garment. The collar insignia are a neat fit and fit exactly into the narrowed collar points which is typical when we look at period portrait photographs of Polish paratroopers. The collar tabs are of a early pattern and in good condition with the felt backing. The qualification badge is in good condition and is marked TOBIE OJCZYZNO 451 which is a very low number which is also seen with Arnhem veterans. The badge ring is marked Kirkwood & Son Edinburgh. The badge had its combat jump wreath soldered on at some point; but it broke off as can be seen on many original badges. The badge is affixed through the breast with a reinforced hole with backing wool. The shoulder titles Poland are nice original printed examples and are quite rare examples. They are handsewn to the sleeves. The Battledress is slightly altered; the collar points are narrowed and the front buttonholes are removed and sewn shut. There is a small hook underneath the waistband and the shoulders are slightly taken in and have been reinforced. The Battledress was found together with the blue grey beret when it was obtained from a Veteran approximately 38 years ago. The Beret is not the textbook Polish issue type, but is a wartime example with a original Polish capbadge. The Battledress looks to have all insignia period applied and has the typical Polish paratrooper modifications. A very hard to obtain battledress, even if you’re only counting the insignia – surely a once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain a full set!

Superb and unissued flared rim M38 paratrooper helmet marked CKL68 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale. The helmet is a late war flared rim type no decal M38 helmet. The helmet retains its originally mounted late war liner and chinstrap in the correct size for the shell. The helmet retains all of its 4 tight fitting slotted aluminum liner bolts. The helmet retains 95% of its original factory Feldgrau textured paint with a light wash and wear to the top. The liner is factory fitted in the correct size 56 and marked R.B.Nr. 0/0250/0201.  Simply one of the best late M38 paratrooper helmets I have ever had!

A stunning set consisting of a M40 field blouse and the trousers it was issued with. Both the tunic and trousers are in the same stunning condition and both in a desirable size suitable for most if not all modern mannequins. The field blouse is of the M40 type with all of its original factory sewn insignia. The early style breast eagle has been machine sewn on the top, flipped over and fully zig-zag machine sewn. The early style Litzen are also factory applied. The shoulder boards are in the same wool colour and white rayon piped indicating Infanterie. All of these insignia are original to the tunic, and have not been added, restored or anything like it. The early style breast eagle and Litzen indicate production prior to May 1940 when they switched to the lightgrey Litzen and field grey breast eagle. The tunic has not been shortened, modified, or restored in any way. I can not see any damages be it moth or repairs. Imo this tunic has never been worn.

The trousers are equally mint but have minor storage wear to them. The trousers are a nice size, just like the tunic. Notable is the early wool colour just like the tunic they are constructed of. This colour of wool was only used for trousers for a short period of time. The trousers are nicely marked and dated 1940.

This set has been found together and would make a killer early war display. Finding a original set is hard, especially a early M40 like this with the early style insignia configuration – a set like this is a one off and surely a centerpiece to any uniform collection!

Stunning M38 paratrooper helmet marked CKL68 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale. The helmet is a late war type no decal M38 helmet. The helmet retains its originally mounted late war liner and chinstrap. The helmet retains all of its 4 untouched tight slotted and vented aluminum liner bolts. The helmet retains 99% of its original factory Feldgrau textured paint. The helmet is a size 68 shell with a size 58 liner. The liner is marked R.B.Nr. 0/0251/0111. The chinstrap is a plain sewn late war variant with a friction buckle. Simply the best late M38 paratrooper helmet I have ever had!

A battle damaged double decal Heer M35 helmet in very good condition. Nicely marked ET66 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale. The factory fitted non-reinforced liner band is dated 1935 and comes with the 1931 dated Schuberth leather. The helmet still retains 99% of its original and rare Gus Abel decals and paint. The helmet retains unit markings reading 14.G.J.R.99 indicating 14. Kompanie Gebirgsjäger Regiment 99 which was a frontline unit mostly serving on the eastern front and started the war in Slovakia in 1939. The helmet has a period battle damage which most probably is a bullethole to the dome of the shell piercing the front of the shell. The helmet was most probably worn when it was hit as there are remnants of blood in the leather. The helmet only saw the light of day in Germany several years ago and has only been in a single collection eversince. The helmet is truly one of the most interesting early M35 helmets that I’ve seen out there and would be a crown in any helmet collection!

Rare and unique uniform grouping to Hauptmann Kurt Peter serving in Infanterie Regiment 199, better known as Infanterie Regiment List. This infamous unit was the very regiment Adolf Hitler served in during the first world war and was one of the only Heer units to receive a regiment name and cufftitle. The grouping consists of a greatcoat with period sewn shoulderboards with the period attached 199 cypher, a field blouse for a Hauptmann with full wartime insignia ánd cufftitle. On top of that is his untouched Heer officer upgraded EM sidecap. A very good, and hard to find grouping that would be very hard to upgrade!
