Original spare cleaning rod which measures 32cm (12 1/2 inch) which indicates it is produced in 1940 or later! This type is will fit all the post 1940 produced K98 and later the K/G43 rifles as well. Original cleaning rod which is nowadays almost impossible to find as a spare. Most examples on the market are replicas and could damage the thread inside the rifle itself, an original like this example is a must!

Textbook original US M1 helmet net. This is the brown coloured pattern with rather big holes and fine thread. The drawstring is constructed out of a lighter coloured thread. Nice example which would be perfect on a US M1 helmet!

Excellent can opener which is part of the Wehrmacht field cutlery set which were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The can opener is also the base part which keeps all 4 loose parts together. The can opener is nicely marked 5266 but its still unclear which manufactured this should indicate. As is the case with almost all parts of the field cutlery sets this fork is marked with an clearly visible eagle which clarifies it’s Eigentum der Wehrmacht. Perfect as a spare or to complete a field cutlery set!

Excellent stainless steel fork which is part of the Wehrmacht field cutlery set which were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The fork is nicely marked GAG 42 which indicates production by Gustav Auerswald, Besteckfabrik, Grünhain/Sa. in 1942. As is the case with almost all parts of the field cutlery sets this fork is marked with an clearly visible eagle which clarifies it’s Eigentum der Wehrmacht. Perfect as a spare or to complete a field cutlery set!

Textbook Göffel marked HRE 1939 which indicates production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen in 1939. Beautiful Göffel nicely matchable with an HRE 1939 produced messkit and canteen!

Textbook EM Artillery visor in mint condition. This one is a excellent example that would be very hard to upgrade. The wool retains most if not all of its nap with only one damage to the back on the piping. The liner is nicely marked Ernst Voigt Altenburg Stirndruckfrei Deutsches Reichspatent. The visor is partially loose but firmly attached to the cap itself. A minty cap that would be very hard to upgrade!

Textbook British green dispatch Rider helmet marked BMB 6 3/4 1942. Nice original example that would be very hard to upgrade!

A stunning single decal ET64/CKL64 single decal M42 Heer helmet indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. Still retains up to 95% of the original decal which is the textbook factory decal for ET helmets. The helmet retains 99% of the original textured factory applied paint. The helmet has a 57 size liner which is factory fitted to the helmet and was fitted with two, not 3 washers to the rivets. Inside the dome the dome stamp is still clearly visible and the skirt of the helmet is nicely named to Rudolph. A nice late war helmet that has the tell-tale late war manufacturing with typical steel finish. If you’re looking for a textbook M42 Heer helmet this is it!

Original, untouched German M18 helmet straight from the Woodwork in Saint–Lô, Normandy. This helmet survived not one but two wars and was found with 5 other helmets in a farm in Saint–Lô by myself, 5.6.2021. The helmet is in the exact condition how I found it with its factory installed liner with one filled cushion and US-Style chinstrap that was added at some point. The helmet is in overall good, used condition and is marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke, Thale. The helmet is a nice untouched example that has never been in a collection before!

Rare and unique British Bergen rucksack as issued to Royal Marine Commando’s, Glider Pilots and other special ops units. These large Rucksacks were the tell tale equipment piece for any Commando as they were intended for use by troops that were not followed by transport vehicles and whose mission demanded that they take equipment which could not be carried in the large pack or haversack. This Bergen rucksack is exactly the type as used on D-Day, but this one has the proof it was actually there; the tell-tale invasion markings on the back of the bergen show it was used by a Royal Marine Commando or a Glider Pilot. The exact unit for these invasion markings is not known but would be a great base for further study that is worthy of this rucksacks history! The rucksack was originally obtained from a Vide-Greniers or flea market east of Caen, around 1995. This is a unique D-Day item that would be the prime piece in any Commonwealth D-Day display!

3 matching equipment straps in unissued condition. All the individual straps are unmarked but all have the same construction futuristics and are a real matching set. Nice set of 3 matching straps, perfect to finish a mannequin!

Nice early brown coloured equipment strap with quick release strap. The strap is clearly dated 1938 and features typical early construction details as aluminium hardware and brown coloured leather. The strap features a unit mark which is nice for further research, nice pre war equipment strap in good used condition!
