  • Rare Dutch Waffen-SS rememberance plaque Ch. G. W. Smit KIA 29-11-1942

    Rare Dutch Waffen-SS rememberance plaque Ch. G. W. Smit killed in action 29-11-1942. These plaques were issued by the NSB to the families of Dutch Waffen-SS soldiers who got killed in action.

    This is a example from my personal collection!

    The plaque is named to SS-Sturmmann Christiaan G. W. Smit Junior. Born 5-6-1922 and killed in action 30-11-1942 in Digoro. This date is different then the plaque but its the date noted in the SS Vormingsbladen of 1942 at page 286. Also his photo can be seen on this page.

  • Rare Heer Afrikakorps grouping with cufftitle, album and more

    2,325.00

    A fantastic Set that came out of the Son of the Veteran, last October (2022), The Veteran s name was Lothar Schauer, member of the 164.Leichte AFRIKA Division. Lothar apparently Died around 2005. I borrowed the text from the consignor who, in my opinion, did a great job at describing the set.

    The set Includes a Lothar’s

    – Fantastic Erel Schirmmütze marked “Offizier Kleiderkasse Berlin Erel Sonderklasse Extra” with photo proof of Lothar Schauer wearing it
    – Afrika Cufftitle Uniform removed with photo proof of him it
    – Original Afrika CT Award Document
    – Photo Album of Lothar with circa 220 very nice Photos including his RAD Armband glued in the Album and also Photo proofed of him wearing it
    – Lothar’s Grundschein
    – Lothar’s Letter from his Captain in 1941 about the Greek Campaign and congratulating him about the job done there also attacking the Metaxas line.
    – Lothat’s Russian POW Letter to the Family from Moscow – Lothar’s father Kennkarte – Lothar s Brother GOTTFRIED Driving License
    – Letter about Lothar’s Brother GOTTFRIED Death in December 1944 and photo of Gottfried.
    – Feldpost Letter From Lothar to his Brother 4 Days after He died.
    – Two copies of photos with his wife as the son apparently decided to keep the originals; Photos of Lothar and his Wife where the Schirm and the Afrika Cufftitle of this Estate are worn
    – Copy of his Wound Badge in Black Award Document
    – Copy of his Westwall Award Document. Lothar Joined the Rad in late 1939 until early 1940, After the RAD,Around December 1940 and January 1941 He was then sent to the Infanterie Regiment 382 of the 164.Infanterie Division. He Participated in the 1941 Greek Campaign Where the 164.I.D. Attacked from the North east of Greece while attached to the XXX.Army Corps. The Album shows all the Locations in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and from January to July 1942 in KRETA (where the 164.Infanterie Division was Briefly renamed FESTUNGS DIVISION KRETA before Being finally renamed again into 164.Leichte AFRIKA Division) and Then was sent to North Afrika. He was wounded in North Afrika and then I think he was Promoted to Leutnant Between October and December 1942 basing myself on the Dates of the photos in the Album. After The Afrika Campaign He was sent to the Grenadier Ersatz und Ausbildungs Bataillon 104 first and then with Grenadier-Ausbildungs-Bataillon 414 based in Plauen which is beside Where he was from in Oelsnitz. As He was in Eastern Germany he likely was sent with his units to the front facing the Red Army towards the end of the war and Was taken POW by the Russians as confirmed from the Russian POW Letter. His Brother Gottfried was part of the Grenadier Regiment 1084 of the 544.Volksgrenadier Division and Died on 16 December 1944 in southern Poland near Debica. There s a Letter that Lothar wrote to his Brother on 20 December 1944 not knowing that his brother was already dead 4 days before he wrote the letter.

    A spectacular group that would be hard to upgrade!

  • Stripped Waffen-SS M40 tunic

    Very nice stripped Waffen-SS M40 tunic. Not to be confused with a Heer M40 tunic, this is a genuine SS contract made M40 tunic. The garment retains the clear imprints and ghosting of SS EM insignia. The imprint of the collar tabs, cuff title and sleeve eagle can easily be seen. The garment is a good medium size for modern mannequins. The Garment came out of household clearing and has all insignia and the piece of lining cloth where SS-BW was once stamped removed. The garment would be a perfect example to fully restore or have the collar underneath a smock or dot 44 tunic. The garment retains most of the fluff on the wool and is in good condition.

  • Spectacular M40 Heer tunic with factory sewn insignia

    A stunning Heer M40 EM Feldbluse in mint/unissued condition. The tunic is not shortened or restored in any way. The grey Einheitslitzen are period factory sewn to the collar. The breast eagle is period factory machine sewn on the top, flipped and finished by hand. The picture coming after the breast eagle shot shows the stitch line, underneath the lining. The tunic comes with a set of wool piped M36 type EM infantry shoulder straps  in mint condition that have been with the tunic. The tunic is missing the bandage pack which is neatly removed, not visible from the outside. This is really a stunning textbook EM M40 tunic in mint condition!

  • Unique blood stained Heer EM M40 tunic

    Unique Heer EM M40 tunic with a bullethole gone right through the garment, with the lining fully blood soaked. The garment is a typical early M40 with first pattern Einheitskragenlitzen dating pre May 1940. The Einheitskragenlitzen are factory sewn to the garment, the breast eagle is in my opinion resewn. The garment has a small hole to the front and the back, at the shoulder hight. This is a genuine bullet hole that went straight trough and wounded the wearer. The area around the hole is blood-soaked inside and out. Other then these holes on the top there are shrapnel damages with period repairs on the bottom pockets indicating the wearer (probably) survived the ordeal. The garment was found in Magdeburg at some point. The garment is a unique example of a blood-soaked jacket that would be a prime historic piece in any collection.

  • Rare Luftwaffe survival machete Alcoso Solingen

  • M41 Heer tunic with factory sewn insignia

    A superb large sized Heer M41 EM Feldbluse in good, lightly worn condition. The green Einheitslitzen are period factory sewn to the collar. The early style breast eagle is period factory machine sewn. The insignia are all wartime factory machine sewn and it does not show any signs of moved, replaced or restored insignia or stitch holes. The garment was most probably kept for walking out because it shows little to no wear. The garment has not been shortened or tailored. It has a set of two period sewn award loops on the left breast pocket. The Ostmedaille ribbon is hand sewn but in my opinion it is added to the piece. The tunic comes with a nice set of early M40 style wool piped infantry EM shoulderstraps. The garment retains up to 95% of the wool fluff and is near mint. This is typically the rarest type of Heer Feldbluse that would be very hard to upgrade!

  • Heer Panzergrenadier EM / NCO visor Pz.Gr.Regt. 73. 19 Pz. Div.

    2,250.00

    Heer Panzergrenadier EM / NCO visor Pz.Gr.Regt. 73. 19 Pz. Div.

    This visor was veteran acquired from Niemann trough a collector who worked out his personal history. A brief history on his service can be read underneath. The visor is in excellent condition and in the rare Panzergrenadier piping colour. The lining is marked VI indicating the size 56. The visor was made by J. Lettel from Hannover. The visor retains its original insignia and would be very hard to upgrade. Interestingly this Visor was with the veteran in Paris where his transport was strafed by Allied fighter planes where he lost the visor. Beautiful and textbook cap with a interesting history!

    The visor belonged to Helmut Hans Niemann, who served with Infanterie Regiment 73 since 1.1.1940, then transferred to Geschutz Kompanie, Schutzen Regiment 73. Then to the 11. Kompanie Schutzen Regiment 74 in 1941. In 1942 he was transferred to 9. (S.I.G.) Kompanie Schutzen Regiment 73 which was renamed to 9 (S.I.G.) Kompanie Panzergrenadier Regiment 73. This unit was part of the 19. Panzerdivision and served on the eastern front.

    At the beginning of the 1943–1944 winter, the 19. Panzer-Division was withdrawn from the front and relocated west of Kiev to take part in the Christmas Offensive near Brussiloff/Broussilov.

    The 19. Panzer-Division suffered heavy losses and was forced to withdraw into the Jitomir region.

    The division was then deployed in the Shepetovka area and, together with the 1. Panzer-Armee, was drawn into the Kamenets-Podolsk Pocket in March 1944.

    At the end of May 1944, the 19. Panzer-Division was transferred to Denmark to be rebuilt.

    Helmut Niemann was then granted four weeks’ leave in Western Europe. He spent a few days in Paris before taking a sightseeing trip to Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy. When the Allied landings began on 6 June 1944, he was recalled to Paris and was then ordered to report to the training camp at Arys-Rostken/Orzysz in East Prussia in mid-July 1944.

    His Panzergrenadier Schirmmütze was lost together with his personal belongings just outside Paris when the transport convoy was strafed. (Train or bus; no further information is available.)

    From there, Helmut Niemann and the 19. Panzer-Division marched towards the Grodno–Białystok region before being deployed on the Russian bridgehead at Wark, 50 km south of Warsaw and 43 km north of Radom.

The helmet is named to Kradmelder Franz Berndt, LS Pol Gruppe Victoria Kaserne. The Victoria Kaserne in Hamburg was a notirious Polizei headquarters where many captured Jews where imprisoned later to be transported to destruction camps such as Neuengamme which is really close!  Allthough the helmet no longer retains its SS decal – its a real peace of history that would be a great base for further research!

  • Rare m38 gasmask in three-tone ‘Normandy’ camouflage from Pont des Réaux sur le Cagnard

    Rare m38 gasmask in three-tone ‘Normandy’ camouflage from Pont des Réaux sur le Cagnard which is south of Coutances. This gasmask was found in a household clearing a long time ago and has been in a single collection since. The mask and its canister are in untouched, as found condition. The canister still retains its vibrant, wartime applied three-tone camouflage pattern up to 90%. The gasmask was found in Pont des Réaux sur le Cagnard which us near Trelly and Quettreville-sur-Sienne which where both the scene of fierce battles fought by the 6. Fallschirmjäger Regiment and 2. SS Panzerdivision ‘Das Reich’. Considering FJR6 had a very typical camouflage pattern, distinctly different then this example my assumption is that this camouflaged gasmask once belonged to a member of the Das Reich division.
