Simply the best chickenwire helmet I’ve had to offer! A truly spectacular example of a Heer single decal M40 helmet marked ET64 with a wartime added half basket chickenwire cover overpainted in three-tone Normandy camouflage. The chickenwire is the typical wartime used type as used to camouflage bunkers and positions. The chickenwire was period applied and has never been removed from the helmet. The chickenwire was over sprayed and retains tan, green and red paint vividly. Underneath the chickenwire retains 75 years of dust and patina; the helmet is a untouched and uncleaned example. The camouflage paint is vibrant and in good condition with loads of patina all over. Closeups of the paint show lots of cracks and patina. The helmet retains its factory fitted liner and period attached chinstrap which have always been with the helmet. The helmet is named Gefr. Striewe in the skirt of the helmet. This is simply the best helmet I’ve found in the last 10 years and would be a prime piece in any helmet collection – surely a one looker original and véry hard to upgrade.

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

Very nice pebbled leather holster for the P.27 (Pistole 27) or CZ vz. 27 in very good condition. The holster is nicely marked RBNr. but due to the pebbled material this is not readable. Very nice holster which was issued to Wehrmacht and Police troops.

Textbook BeVo Heer EM/NCO M43 cap trapezoid in unissued condition.

Textbook Luftwaffe Flak headset L38042 in good used condition. Rare complete headset; headphone with throat microhphone to wear together with the helmet. The headset is complete and plugs right into the FF33 or 8,8cm Flak gun intercom. Very rare to find and both Luftwaffe marked and in very good condition.

Rare coastal artillery related headset that plugs into the FF33 field phone and desk phone. The headset shares many optical similarities with the Panzer variant but the cable is different; unlike the standard Y-shaped cable setup this example has the cable for the second speaker running over the top of the headset. There are many variants of these headsets but this example is for sure one of the rarest to find!

Textbook M37 lowboots as worn by the Heer, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. These lowboots are a typical and matching pair in light worn condition. The boots are a nice medium size fitting most modern mannequins and come with their original metal tipped laces. The rear seams of the boots have some stitching undone; otherwise a great and undamaged pair! For me this is the perfect pair for a mannequin, used not abused!

A set of 10 empty pre war 7,92x57mm casings. These 10 empty casings have been fired and are completely empty of any propellant or filled primers. These can not be reloaded; there are a few disformed and or have a rupture. The insides are corroded rendering these empty casings unusable for reloading. These are for collecting purposes only. These are great floor litter for a MG34 or MG42 display! The price is for 10 pieces, I have several similar sets.

Due to the nature of the item I can not ship this item outside of Europe unless the buyer takes the risk.
