Superb, published three-tone camouflage helmet in excellent condition. The helmet is published on page 226 of Germany’s Combat Helmets by Ken Niewiarowicz. The helmet is a typical M40 Heer, single decal example with period applied thick vehicle camouflage paint often referred to as ‘Normandy’ camouflage. The helmet retains the original period applied paint up to 90% and would be very hard to upgrade. A textbook, top shelf example.

Very rare 1933(!) dated breadbag in good used condition. The breadbag is nicely marked Hottschalk & Co. A.-G., Kassel 1933. Finding early breadbags is already hard on its own, let alone one with such clear markings! The breadbag is a weird pattern which features a divider on the inside which is often seen on post war breadbags as well. This is the first original period example i have encountered with a divider. The breadbag features an ink stamp on the inside R.L.M. which indicates it was issued to the Reichsluftfahrtministerium which makes this breadbag even more interesting. Most of the buttons are replaced but this seems to be a period job, the breadbag shows stains not the front and back which just suggest this example has been used! Very rare and interesting example which would be very hard to upgrade!

Very nice A-frame pouch in good, used condition. The pouch has some stains and the tying straps show some traces of use. Nice used example!

A interesting insignia grouping to Clyde Yaist serving in the C/377 Parachute Field Artillery Battalion. The grouping consists of a white tongue 101st patch, jump wings, and various other small insignia. A nice grouping!

‘ As early as the evening of December 19th, Clyde Yaist of c/377 picked off eight Germans who were trying to stealthily approach the C gun battery pits. Yaist was a crack shot with the M1 rifle and was positioned in a concealed spot in front and below of the batteries to provide security for them. This ‘Artillery Sniper’ using a Garand rifle without the benefit of a scope was placed in battery security assignment by his first sergeant Fred Fitzgerald. As the Germans tried to sneak up a draw towards the US artillery positions in the fading light of December 19th, they were picked off one at a time by rounds fired by Yaist, from a position they couldn’t see and were not aware of until it was too late. ‘ A quote from;  Mark Bando, 101st Airborne – The Screaming eagles in World War II.
