This bayonet has \'Mauser Oberndorf\' maker to ricasso with \'W\' cypher for Prussia to back of blade & \'17\' date. Both of its wooden grips are in good order with pommel catch fully functionable.

Interestingly the bottom edge of the frog has been fashioned with a tipped curve as was the preference by older serving German soldiers of the period.
\'Winter Uniforms of The German Army \' Book - Werner Palinckz Comprising 448 pages, this illustrated book is the first comprehensive reference work covering winter uniforms used by the German Army, Air Force and Waffen-SS during the period from 1942 to 1945. The book is intended for collectors, historians, model makers and those with an interest in military history. Following the attack on the Soviet Union and the first experiences with the Russian winter in 1941-42, it quickly became clear to the powers that be standard German Army uniform was completely unsuitable for waging war in the east, where temperatures often dropped far below zero. This made it necessary to create a new uniform capable of dealing with the climactic conditions on the Eastern Front. This book describes the creation of the Winteranzug 42 winter uniform, the first of its kind, and the following versions for the army, air force and Waffen-SS later in the war. First the complete winter uniform - balaclava, parka, trousers and mittens - is illustrated schematically in all its details.

Rare WW2 German Pioneer Officers Visor Cap By Carl Kuhlmann A stunning German Pioneer officers visor cap to the rare maker Carl Kuhlmann. Kuhlmann worked under licence for the highly regarded cap retailer Peter Kupper whose high quality standards were evident on every one of its contracted caps this piece being no exception. Made of a fine high quality black piped doeskin wool both front insignia are of the early \'leichtmetall\' & still tight to the cap. The lesser seen oxide green underside to peak & sweatband as well as a velvet insert running around the circumference of the cap between the sweatband & the body accentuates the fine workmanship that could be purchased by an officer at his own expense . The ornately patterned front section of the green sweatband incorporates a cleverly designed system \'Stirndruckfrei\' which reduced pressure on the forehead when worn & was again only found at the higher priced end of private purchase caps. The celluoloid dimaond bares the name \' Carl Kuhlmann ,Holzminden \' & \'Stirndruckfrei Deutches Reichspatent\' . I have closely examined this cap & can find only a couple of very very minor surface only tracks upon very close inspection. Fabulous high quaity piece .

The Awards of the Heer - Vol. II by Dietrich Maerz/Bernd Hartmann This was the long awaited Volume II of the most complete and comprehensive overview of the decorations a German soldier of the Heer could be awarded. Volume II not only covers such well-known decorations as the Spain Cross, the Campaign Shields, and the Cuff Titles. For the first time in the English language the Flower War Medals, the Motor Vehicle Driver Badge, and the Bravery Medal for Eastern People are covered in detail. Each chapter is divided into history, regulations, design, the decoration itself, award documents, cases, miniatures, fakes and 1957 version if applicable. The final chapter covers the manufacturers and for the first time all the producing companies, including the LDO members and all of the known 142 companies with a Präsidialkanzlei-Number, are presented with address and products manufactured for the Heer.

The book will be an important tool for the novice as well as the advanced collector. For the first time, every Luftwaffe decoration has been documented, supported by the original decrees as outlined in the Luftwaffenverordnungsblätter, correcting and clarifying some of the misinterpretations found in earlier literature.

WW2 German Army /Waffen SS M42 Helmet A recently European surfaced German M42 raw edge helmet in slate grey as issued to Army /Waffen SS combat troops from 1942 onwards. Careful examination of this helmets liner band ascertains a date of 1944 & its late manufacture with no decal. Factory finished in rough slate grey paint there is evidence of wartime service with ships & scuffs to the exterior & wear to the liner. All three of the liner pins are original to it & undisturbed. Liner is of late manufacture with its rear section wartime constructed from a seperate piece of leather to save on materials. There are tears to the leather in places please see images.

WW2 German Army Dagger , Hangers & Knot- E.Pack & Sohn WW2 German Army Dagger , Hangers & Knot - E.Pack & Sohn A very nice straight from the woodwork army officers dagger by a more unusual maker. EP&S. Ernst Pack made a variety of the daggers across the board, but their trademark on an army dagger does not appear very often. Its also the very desirable LARGER trademark with the oval center piece showing the man wielding the hammer and the \'Siegfried Waffen\' lettering above and below. Orange grip in good order with original tied knot still present showing fraying throughout. Nickel plated fittings, crossguard etc are good. Scabbard very good with no dents having a natural age patina where it has been stored in a cupboard for many years. There is a very nice set of green velvet backed hangers.

Dated 1939 on the liner band this \'NS66\' manufacturer & size marked helmet has a reinforced aluminium liner with all three liner pins totally original to the helmet. As per 1940 orders the tricolour shield has been covered by a light brushing over but is still partially visible underneath the paint. The army decal has been painted around & remains largely intact. Decal is a textbook NS decal totally correct for this helmet. To the interior can be seen the first early factory green paint to dome with underside of rim brush painted in the later dark grey having slightly touched the aluminium band in places. The maker & size \'NS66\' are clearly visible as is the lot number to rear \'E200\'. Liner in good order & tightening string totally intact.
WW2 German Army HBT Tunic 1943 Four pocket Army HBT tunic with original machine sewn collar patches & bevo breast eagle. Following the style of the early M42/M43 issues of tunic with scalloped pocket flaps & non pleated pockets there are faint traces of markings to inside of front fly with a depot stamp of \'P43\' . Both collar insignia & breast eagle are originally machine stitched & of the midwar pattern. Partially lined in correct grey rayon there are three equipment hook holes to each side.
WW2 German Army Infantry NCOs M43 Field Blouse A German infantry NCOs M43 combat tunic with white piped shoulder boards & ink stamp to the uniform maker \'E.REITZ\' based in German occupied Belgium. The M43 model of tunic was an economical simplification of those before it with a new six button closure required due to the lesser quality wool used in its construction. None of the pockets have central pleats with only early M43 tunics having pointed flaps as seen here. Collar litzen are of the universal pattern & are WW2 original stitched to the tunic with thread matching that of the NCO tresse so collar applied upon his promotion. Breast eagle is Bevo grey on green & although not factory machine stitched it is neatly hand applied & most likely a wartime replacement according to the mans preference. Medal loops have been applied above the left breast pocket with loops for two combat awards on the pocket. The rayon lining is indicative of midwar manufacture with dice style size markings & the manufacturer stamp for \'E.REITZ\' of Antwerp , Belgium. All three of its pressed paper collar buttons are intact to hold the collar liner with all four of its belt hook web equipment tabs still present. In overall excellent condition & coming complete with shoulderboards there is some hardly noticeable moth repair to right lower sleeve with several tiny pinprick holes to lower right pocket , please see images.
WW2 German Army M31 Breadbag Early issue German breadbag in green with aluminium fittings. No holes but one D ring minus from rear.
WW2 German Army M35 Helmet
WW2 German Army M35 Reissue Combat Helmet An M35 double decal combat helmet repainted in 1940 specification rough textured paint over both decals & with its original chinstrap still fitted. Another helmet that recently manifested itself after years of forgotten storage it is offered as it came to me uncleaned & uninterfered with straight from the war. It would appear that it was refinished fairly late in the war or after the end of decal usage in 1943 as both decals are painted over . The underside of the helmet shell remains in its original M35 smooth paint. There is some age to the helmets underside & a small part of the leather liner which is dark stained & decayed. Chinstrap remains intact & interesting to note that the soldier has trimmed it slightly on its long section & shortened the pointed end to suit his own fit . This is not uncommon & totally period done as can be seen from a minimal inspection. Overall a sleepy untouched combat helmet typical of the NW Europe fighting.
WW2 German Army M43 ( Keilhose ) Combat Trousers 1943 Scarce pair of the textbook M43 pattern of German combat trouser ( Keilhose) these were standard issue from midwar onwards & are now very hard to find . Dice stamped with size markings & with inspection date of 1943 date they are overall in very good condition with all buttons to front fly & both front slanted pockets. Both side adjustment buckles are still functional with one of tis rear belt loops removed. Nicely worn pair with no holes or damage .
WW2 German Army Officers Brocade Belt & Buckle A German army officers full dress brocade belt & buckle in very good condition. Introduced in 1937 it is of silver ribbed brocade with two horizontal green stripes running its full length. Buckle is of white metal with finely detailed Wehrmachts-Adler surrounded by oakleaf wreath. The entire belt is backed in green felt to prevent rubbing & slipping. Condition is very good with some wear overall & to reverse side some small moth nips in places to felt & a small rust stain none of which is visible on the outside display side. Interesting piece & a souvenir of the German occupation of Europe.
WW2 German Army/Waffen SS M42 \'Raw Edge\' Combat Helmet A recently Europe found large sized untouched M42 raw edge combat helmet complete with original chinstrap. Typical of the mid to late war period onwards this helmet retains almost all of its original slate grey factory paint with all three liner pins totally untouched & original to the helmet. Leather liner is still good with a couple of the tongues having been apparently rodent gnawed to some extent, original tightening string intact. rear underside of shell rim marked \'hkp68\' ( Formerly SE of Saxon Emaillerwerke ) & what appears to be \'4463\' for lot number. Chinstrap has faint markings with date 1943 clearly visible.
WW2 German Bakelite Dienstglas Case Late war speckled black bakelite case for the 6X30 Dienstglas binoculars . Both carrying strap D rings intact to each side with buckle section of strap remaining to right side. Both belt loops to rear in ersatz prestoff material with black painted steel tabs still firm. Sprung loaded fastener fully operational with padded inners. No damage or cracks to bakelite.
