Chris S ******************* GAP *************** ****Inert & FFE*** WW2 German Panzerschreck Round Very rare round for the German Panzerschreck ( Rocket firing anti tank bazooka ) which strips down enabling inspection of its empty interior. This piece has suffered the usual loss of some finish to its exterior & thus has been repainted in the most part with markings reapplied for visual effect. The tail fins section retains its original eagle & swastika marking. Bakelite nose tip present.

Chris S ***Website Updates Almost Daily *** We have alot of new stock for the website keep checking back as we will upload on an ad-hoc basis, sometimes daily if we are not travelling ! **Fresh To The Market** WW2 German M42 Combat Helmet With Chinstrap A totally untouched & fresh to the market German M42 helmet complete with its original chinstrap & pigskin liner.
This helmet is typical of the mid to late war German steel helmet worn by the infantrymen of the Army & SS devoid of insignia as per the order of 1943. On close examination it can be seen that an army decal partially exists under the paint no doubt covered to comply with the 1943 regulation. Exterior is factory painted in a rough slate grey paint now exuding an appealing naturally aged patina from prolonged loft storage. All three liner pins are undisturbed & 100% original to the helmet . Interior evidences a buildup of dust , dirt & grime between the liner band & shell , the band is tight to the helmet with no movement whatsoever. Faint markings to rear of the shell read \'CKL64 \' & \'*732\'. Liner is of the slightly later pigskin with no damage whatsoever & its tightening cord still present. Finally , leather chinstrap is still supple & with grey painted steel buckle. \'Die Kriegsmarine\' - Uniforms & Traditions Vol 3 One of the premier sets of books on the World War II German Navy uniforms, organization and rank structure with b/w photographs. Long out of print. \'Sleeper\' WW1 German Sawback Butcher Bayonet In Frog 1917 A WW1 German pioneers issue sawback butcher bayonet complete with its original brown leather frog.
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. There is general surface rust age to some metal surfaces which I have left as found.
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. \'The History Of The German Steel Helmet 1916 to 1945 \' Ludwig Baer \'THE\' reference book on the German steel helmet from 1916 - 1945 by the now legendary author Ludwig Baer. This was the first groundbreaking book on the subject with years of research by the author presented here along with photographs in black & white & also in colour . WW1 helmets , WW2 combat helmets including paratrooper & SS as well as camouflage & also thuse utilised in the postwar period by various auxiliaries.
A must have for any serious German helmet collector & the cheapest you will find on the internet today. \'Uniforms & Traditions Of The German Army\' Bender Book Superb publication by Roger James Bender, volume 2 of the 3 volume set, this a first edition published in 1986. 414 pages of hugely in-depth detail, pictures both in colour and in black and white of many aspects of the German Army.

Unusual organisations, foreign volunteers and many others. \'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. 1st March 2024 - Website Updated New items just added - We have recently purchased alot of new German items so will update as time allows!

Chris S 2 X Long Equipment Straps ( One Luftwaffe 1938 ) Two equipment straps one is a brown Luftwaffe issue with 1938 date the other unmarked.
Can be used to hold the zeltbahn roll on the belt equipment. An \'As Found\' WW2 German Blue MP40 Magazine Pouch A fabulous midwar blue web MP40 magazine pouch recently acquired directly from NW European sources & offered as it came to me straight from the outbuilding.
Constructed entirely from heavy blue web material its three closure straps are each metal tipped with belt loops to rear also in blue webbing . Side strap for securing to Y straps complete with D ring. Although due to age & wear it is difficult to see any markings I believe this to be an example of those that carried the 3 letter code \' gyc\' produced around 1942 . It is evident that this is a combat used piece with each closure flap still bearing witness marks to the storage of magazines.
Having lain untouched in a barn or other outbuilding for many years it has what appears to be a rodent gnaw to one part & a tear to one flap.

Chris S Published WW2 German Army M43 Field Cap An all original German Army M43 cap that can be seen on pages 42 & 43 of the superb reference book \'Einheitsfieldmutze\' by Oliver Lock.
A typical late war production piece with heavy cellulose & wool mix the trapezoid eagle is original to the cap this applied prior to the caps completion.
Grey rayon lining with RB number still visible. Rare WW2 German Army Double Decal Lightweight Parade Helmet By Erel A rare German Army double decal light-weight fiber parade helmet by Erel.
These were made for private purchase by members of the army as well as other branches of the German forces this piece having double decals for the Heer. Much of its original green paint finish remains with both decals still much intact. Interior liner resembles that of an officers dress helmet with champagne lining & leatherette sweatband having embossed \'Erel\' trademark . Comes complete with original chinstrap.
Some distortion to shell evident . Rare WW2 German MG34 Saddle Drum Magazine An excellent unrestored example of the WW2 German MG34 75 Round Saddle Drum Magazine or Doppel Trommel Magazine dated 1941.
This example has its original leather carrying strap & top bracket. marked to the top with maker code & date \' 41\' with a weapon serial number \'7122\' to side & number indicators to drum.
***Strictly UK Sales Only*** Rare WW2 German MG34 Saddle Drum Magazine WW2 German MG34 75 Round Saddle Drum Magazine or Doppel Trommel Magazine dated 1941.
Having typically seen some restoration these are near impossible to find in any condition other than restored ! This example has its original leather carrying strap & top bracket. marked to the top with maker code & date \' wq41\' with a weapon serial number \'4957\' to side & faint red number indicators to drum.
***Strictly UK Sales Only*** Rare WW2 German MP41 Loader Scarce Loader for the MP41 marked with manufacturer name \'Haenel\' & designation \'MP41\'. Rare WW2 German MP44 Pouch Rare & late war MKb42 produced assault rifle magazine pouch this a right side example.
Textbook example featuring typical late war features such as construction from tan canvas with red stripe & grey LUX marked web straps to each compartment. All tabs present with ersatz tan prestoff to sides of each compartments closure flap. Stamped ink markings to rear on both web belt loops , both fully readable . These include the assault rifle designation \'MKb42\' with waffenamt , makers code & date \'JWa 43\' .
Lightly used with some staining & overall a very rare pouch . 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 . Rare WW2 German Spares Tin For Juwell 33 Heater Dresden made tin relating to the Juwell 33 heater . There are contents sold as seen , I am unable to confirm if these have any relevance to the Juwell Heater.

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. This volume is indispensable for every serious collector of the awards of the Heer. Hardbound, in color. The Awards Of The Heer - Volume 1 An excellent work on the subject of German army awards & a must for advanced & beginner collectors alike. The Awards Of The Luftwaffe - Scapini An invaluable overview of the decorations a member of the Luftwaffe could receive between 1935 and 1945. In the usual format of the “The Awards of-Series” by B&D Publishing, history, regulations, award criteria, manufacturers, and documents are listed, supported by contemporary photos. 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. This book gives a solid referance source for the decorations of the Luftwaffe branch of National-Socialist Germany The Collector\'s Guide to Cloth Third Reich Military Headgear This book is jam-packed with practical knowledge on German cloth military headgear. Useful information to help novice collectors learn how to avoid costly mistakes - cap construction basics and materials, descriptions of each cap model and comparisons with altered originals, modified post-war caps, and reproductions - all neatly divided into individual sections for easy reference. Also included is a series of convenient quick check lists that identify common modification danger points for each cap type. For the advanced collector, the book offers historical background about the German cap making industry with the first-ever comprehensive listing of German cap makers, maker mark illustrations, and many individual histories, including never published information on the history and sad fate of the famous cap maker Robert Lubstein/EREL.

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.

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 M40 Single Decal Helmet - Named \'HORRMANN\' An M40 single decal army combat helmet complete with chinstrap & soldiers rank & name \'Gefr. Hormann\' ( Corporal Hormann) .

This practice was not uncommon for older serving soldiers who would often have , where tolerated , alterations carried out on their field blouses according to the mans individual preference. Tunic has a classic three holed rayon lining with some other wartime tailoring evident in the form of the tunic shortened as it was the fashion to have only a short skirt at the back. All buttons are present with dark green backed breast eagle of the M36 pattern & matching style collar tabs in preference to what the tunic would have left the factory with.

It is well known that helmets were often reissued & that personnel changed units this helmet being an example of either of those scenarios. Initally starting life as a Luftwaffe single decal M40 it has had at some point an Army decal applied over the top of it leaving the wings of the former visible on either side. Both showing natural age & wear commensurate to the rest of the helmet it is clear that this is a wartime expedient & the first I have encountered carried out so crudely. Exterior paint of the shell is a dullened blue grey with the underside of the rim being a more obvious Luftwaffe blue. Difficult to make out the maker & size due to age patina of the paint hpwever the rear lot number of \'T760\' is just about visible.

Constructed from a lightweight doeskin fabric it has issue quality red backed collar tabs & matching cuff insignia as per regulations. Both are totally original to this piece. The bullion breast eagle is original to the tunic as other ranks could purchase their own so it is not uncommon to see bullion eagles on other ranks Waffenrocks as well as as a whole other plethora of individual high quality features that could be bought by the wearer at his own expense. Faint traces of a proof marking just about remain above the interior pocket these applied to private purchase garments after inspection of suitability . Often these markings were never applied or poorly applied so can be very difficult to still see today. Corporal chevron to left sleeve.

These M40 helmets had failed to pass the stringent Wehrmacht quality controls for ballistic integrity & so were reworked with the addition of the raised beading around their circumference in order to readily distinguish them from satisfactory helmets. Although sub standard combat helmets they were deemed suitable for issue to Home Front personnel & as is the case here had a satin dark blue paint finish applied with a Luftschutz decal that was at somepoint later removed . This may well have been due to being used by another branch of the Civil Defence personnel , wartime photos show some beaded helmets in wear with decals & some without.

Showing much heavy wear & a dent to the front left most likely caused during battle this helmet received a tan overpaint on which short green swirls were applied over the top with a brush & the decal slightly subdued with the same green.

Overall a fabulous camouflage helmet with decal . WW2 German M40 Beaded Luftschutz Helmet A very appealing \'been there\' example of the M40 Beaded Luftschutz helmet .
These M40 helmets had failed to pass the stringent Wehrmacht quality controls for ballistic integrity & so were reworked with the addition of the raised beading around their circumference in order to readily distinguish them from satisfactory helmets. Although sub standard combat helmets they were deemed suitable for issue to Home Front personnel & as is the case here had a satin dark blue paint finish applied & the Luftschutz decal applied to the front for Luftschutze use. This specimen has a low quality leather liner & chinstrap fitted which is typical of several variants that can be found within these civilian issue examples.

Tunic has been worn by an Unteroffizier with NCO tress added to collar & universal green on light grey collar litzen seen as of 1940. The bevo breast eagle is very professionally machine sewn to the tunic & has been in situ for a very long time. I have left both shoulder boards on the tunic as it came to me these for rank of Unterfeldwebel with white Infantry piping. Two award loops to left breast pocket. To left arm is sewn a totally original field grey backed Krim shield showing this NCO to be a veteran of the fighting & capture of the Crimean region under Field Marshall Mansteins command in 1941/42 . Interior of tunic is lined, typically, in beige cotton twill with dice stamped size markings & 1940 dated \'Munchen\' inspection marking. All three of its original collar liner buttons still present to underside of collar.

WW2 German M40 Luftwaffe Helmet A totally original bringback German M40 Luftwaffe helmet which I originally acquired from private hands back in 2018.
An M40 single decal this helmet still has its original chinstrap & unmolested liner firmly in place.
The luftwaffe \'dotted wing\' decal is recorded as correct for the manufacturer \'SE\' as here. Its distinctions , compared to decals on other helmets, are the downward turned eyebrow & flatter chest ( See Pg 94 Helmet Decals of the Third Reich By Ken Niewiarowicz ) .
Marked to the shell rim as an \'EF64\' for the firm \' A.G.Fulda \' with a batch number of 22776 this conforms exactly with that recorded in the Brian ICE reference as a single decal luftwaffe helmet produced between the 190 & 1942 period. They are known for having the least clear markings as can be seen.
Condition wise this helmet has been in the shed for many years however is in surprisingly excellent condition. The decal is nearly 100% intact & the factory blue grey paint of the outer shell shows only minor rust age upon close examination. All three liner pins retain their blue factory paint these again being nearly 100% intact. The underside of the helmet rim was cleaned by the previous owner with a minor abrasive & the fresh rust of the chinstrap fittings given a wipe over. The chinstrap has never been off of the helmet & is maker marked to the firm Hermann & Sohne . It is dated however it has been stamped off centre so only the top part of the date can be seen. There is a small \'nick\' to one edge of the long strap & I am unable to unbuckle it due to it having been in this position for many years & now stiff with the ageing of the metal.
Certainly a time capsule of a piece & most likely one of the last surviving \'bringback\' pieces . WW2 German M40 Luftwaffe Single Decal Helmet An M40 Luftwaffe single decal helmet that has seen hardly any wear if any at all.

With grey collar , four pleated pockets , scalloped flaps & a five button frontage this is the classic M40 model. A veteran of the Russian Front as denoted by the \'frozen meat\' medal ribbon there are also two further award loops to left breast pocket most likely for an Iron Cross. Grey on green bevo breast eagle is neatly handstitched in situ with universal tabs & NCO tress to collar. Two of its horn buttons remain for attachment of collar liner. Interior lining shows heavy service wear with dice marked size stamps & manufacturer \' W.Kreulze Uniformfabrik Wurzburg \' . The depot stamp \'M41\' denoting 1941 is also visible. WW2 German M40 Reissue Luftwaffe Helmet - Double Named Liner A German M40 Luftwaffe helmet with decal removed & original chinstrap intact.

The ghost outline of a previous second pattern decal can be seen in obliging light this removed as per regulations. Fitted with a reinforced aluminium liner band the leather sheepskin liner is double named one being \' \'J.O.Skaland\' & the other in German lettering which I believe to be \'Juttemann \' with number. Tigthening cord intact. Chinstrap has grey painted steel buckle with maker name & date 1940. There is a very small hardly noticeable nick to the leather where it comes over the front lip of the helmet. I am unable to discern the maker of the helmet due to the thick handbrushed paint under its rim .
