		1.German WW2 tropical a-frame. This is from my own collection. It is a super example made from different shades of web material including olive browns and olive greens. Webbing is near mint. Metal parts have much of the paint left, are in great shape and the top hooks are H&C marked. Other parts are OLC and LUX marked. Nicely maker marked and the date looks to be either 1942 or 1943. Great condition. $1350 NEW b)named tropical a-frame bag. Excellent lightly used condition, original soldier wrote his name in twice. Super example. $325 Buy both pieces together- $1500
	2.German WW2 MP40 pouch, maker marked clg43 and waffenampted. Awesome original pouch, as you often see these unissued, but this is the first used example I have ever seen. It has some light staining, but is overall excellent condition. Also great to complete a set. Super pouch. $599 NEW
		3.Luftwaffe paratrooper knee pad sets. Two great RB numbered sets, one olive brown, the other fieldgray/green. Very scarce. $1600 a pair. NEW a)olive brown set, unissued, just light storage wear. Both are RB numbered. b)green/fieldgray pair, perfect condition, one strap on each pad has a stamped maker mark for the elastic straps. One pad is RB or RF numbered.
	4.German WWII army or luftwaffe clothing bag. Perfect, mint unissued example in OD cotton with tan & olive web straps. Hardware is marked "LUX". Fully complete, even has the internal cord for lacing it up inside. has web straps for carrying it and wearing as a backpack. These were used for carrying extra uniforms, personal belinging, etc, to the front line and were left wherever the soldier was stationed. It is large, measuring over 2' high and 1 1/2' wide. Nicely marked inside the top flap with RB number. One internal snap on an inside flap has a sewn repair, but the pack has never been used. Perfect condition. $220 NEW
		5.Luftwaffe pilot flight gloves. Beautiful unissued pair in top quality brown leather. Wrist adjustment straps have Prym snaps. Pair is lamb's wool lined for high altitude conditions. Size only marked in cuff (9 1/2), same type font I have seen all pairs marked in. They have just light storage wear, overall excellent to near mint. $299 NEW
	6.German ww2 M37 lowboots in cordovan red/brown color. I am selling 2 pairs from my own collection, this is one, the gray pair is the other. Great pair of unique corcoran colored M37 Issue low ankle boots, very similar in color to many Luftwaffe jump boots. They look to be dated 1940, but the number could be 43. They are in lightly used condition, the only real wear is on the soles. They come with original wehrmacht issue laces. Size is marked "29" in German WW2 size, which is about a US 10 or 10 1/2. Only pair like this I have ever seen. Would look great with a luftwaffe uniform. $2000
		7.German ww2 early a-frame, 1941 dated. Beautiful near mint example, probably the nicest continental type I have had. Most of all the paint is present on the metal parts and they are maker marked. Leather is in top shape and is supple. Web material is extremely clean. Maker marked very nicely and dated 1941. Superb example. $1100 HOLD
	8.German ww2 wehrmacht canvas action covers for the MG 34/42 and the k98 rifle. a)MG 34/42 cover- Super example with just storage soiling on it, possibley never used. Blue-gray canvas material, leather straps, rubberized canvas protective pieces (like G43 pouch material). Horse hair protective end pads are perfect. Clamp for gunner's gear is present. No markings I can find, they probably wore off or were light to begin with. Outstanding example $975 b)K98 carbine protector - Nice example, slightly used, but leather is in great condition and very solid. Green canvas shows light wear/soiling, but is solid. Inside leather pad is stamped with the manufacturer ("hck", which stands for Georg A. Lerch, Berlin) and is dated 1941, so it's an early example. Also is waffenampted. You can still see the red pencil marks which the factory cutter used as a guide. Great k98 weapon accessory. The green cover is 20 times tougher to get than the blue cover. $1175

		9.German ww2 RB numbered Mountain Troops (Gebirgsjäger) mountain boots in unissued condition. Great issue type official pair of these boots that have been blackened, as per regulation. The size is a German ww2 29, which is about a 10 1/2 US, approx. They have just a couple minor scuffs from storage, but are overall near mint. Bottoms are complete with all the correct hardware. They are very well size marked on the sole and also inside, along with the RB number and M43 for Munich depot, 1943. Great pair. $899
	10.Wehrmacht later style y-straps in really nice condition. Beautiful example that I had on one of my uniforms. All stitching is solid and leather is in great condition. I believe the center circular section is RB numbered, but I am not sure, as the black finish is very crackled and it's hard to see anything. However, the backstrap is marked with what looks to be a 3 letter code for the maker. Metal parts are overall very nice, a little oxidation here and there, but nothing bad. Set is overall excellent conditon. Would be perfect to complete a combat uniform. SOLD
		11.German army late war unissued tropical breadbag. Really nice, RB numbered example in olive cloth with all web straps & loops. Only detraction is one metal dish button may have been resewn, as the rest are sewn with brown thread, but it looks like it was done that way, perfectly, so who knows. The D rings have a lot of paint left. The bag has a bunch of numbers stamped on it, probably for assembley, and also the manufacturer's RB number. Just an outstanding example that was never used. $200
	12.German WWII Luftwaffe tropical tall boots. Decent used pair, slightly mismatched, but the same size. Very nice overall with some soiling, but nothing bad. Right boot has more wear and needs to have the end of the leather strap sewn down. Leather on both is very good and also the canvas is still very strong, no problems. Both boots are dated 1942 and they have their hobnails. US size is approx. an 11. Sole measures 12 1/4". if you don't need a perfect, mint pair, these look very good together. $1425 $1050 SALE $950
		13.German WW2 Gebirgsjäger styrian gamaschen. Superb RB numbered pair that is complete with the leather laces still intact. I don't think these were used, probably the wear is from storage. They are made of a heavy canvas type material. These were worn over the mountain boots. One strap is missing the metal end tip. There is a 2" section of edging missing from the right one. The metal pieces exhibit surface rust. They are otherwise in great shape and are very clean. These were worn by Hochgebirgsjäger and also the Waffen-SS handschar division is seen wearing them. Outstanding and hard to find example. $545
	14.German WW2 issue wehrmacht skiboots in mint condition. These are very similar to the mountain boots, but much tougher to find. They were made for use with skis and not as mountain boots, as there was no need for the rugged hobnails on the bottom. The boots are an exact match, but are marked 1/2 size off. Also, one is dated 1942, the other 1943, which may be just that they were assembled with pre-stamped leather pieces. The finish is an exact match. Size is outstanding, about a US 11-11 1/2. You can see late-war photos of Luftwaffe pilots/crewmen wearing these with their channel suits and M43 caps. Only detraction is some mothing on the blue wool at the top. $899
		15.German ww2 wehrmacht pioneer (combat engineer)explosives tool pouch. Rare accessory used by combat engineers to keep their tools (scissors, pliers, crimpers, etc), small fuses, wire, etc. in. This is a nice example made of prestoff and one of the only examples I have seen with the inner tool loops still intact. I can't find the maker's mark, I think it probably wore off. The leather shoulder strap is 100% intact and sewn perfectly. The leather parts have a little wear, but this is an overall really nice example of this scarce pouch. See "Uniforms and Traditions of the German Army", vol3, pg196. Choice! $599
	16.Wehrmacht straps, web and a-frame types. A)web strap for mess tin. $100 B)Mess tin strap for a-frame, web type $250 C)Mess tin strap for a-frame, web type , very good , some rust stain sold D)Mess tin strap for a-frame, leather, continental type, excellent SOLD

	17.German WW2 issue wehrmacht jackboots. Nice, used pair in great condition. These are about a US size 10. They have had the heel pad replaced and they never had hobnails, they might have been a walking-out pair. The markings on them are gone from use, but I would say they date from approx. 1941/42. If you don't need unissued, these are a perfect pair. $650
		18.German ww2 wehrmacht a-frame pack. Standard continental type with leather parts. Nice original condition with nothing repaired or monkeyed with. Faint maker stamp that I can't read. The metal parts have rust, but not real bad and the photos look much worse than it really is. I would grade it near excellent. Nice, honest, used example, perfect to complete the combat gear of your mannequin. $799
	19.German tropical k98 bayonet frogs. Two great examples, perfect to complete a DAK or tropical equipped mannequin. a)olive/khaki with manufacturer stamp on the reverse, partially visible. Excellent condition. $239 b)early DAK green color, has some wear and partial fraying on the front bottom, but it does not go through. Very tough type to get. $220
		20.German WW2 optical sighting scope Z.F. 3x8 Flak for the 37 mm flak gun. Manufactured by gwv and also marked "3.7 cm 37". This scope is 13 1/2" long total and is complete with the original rubber eye protector, maker marked "D&N 3". Optic has flak style lines/numbering in the reticule. Seems very clear and clean optically. Blueing is very nice. Rubber is in superb excellent to near mint condition. Absolutely fabulous example. Choice! $550 SALE $450
	21.German WW2 wehrmacht gas masks w/cannisters. a)field gray cannister, dated 1938, waffenampted on inside lid. 1938 lense replacement packets in lid. Mask has a nice early fieldgray color, lenses dated 1938 and filter is dated 1942. Cannister has light rust in spots, but very nice overall. No short strap, long strap has wear and tear, but is solid. Nice example. $199   b)Field gray cannister, dated 1940, has the scarce "microphone" gas mask inside, used by the Kriegsmarine. Cannister is waffenampted, but not KM marked, but mask and cannister are both named to the same person. Cannister has some light rust spots. Mask is 1940 dated and in very good condition. Long strap for cannister present, no short strap. Spare lens packets in lid. Very hard mask to get. $199   c)Fieldgray 1940 dated container that has been painted over with dark gray paint, for either army or luftwaffe use. Cannister is very nice, comes with all straps and is named. Includes a blue gas cape pouch and leather strap that is 1941 dated. Mask is a beautiful all black rubber, 1944 dated example. Makes a very nice set for display with a late war set-up or could be used for fallschirmjäger or ground troops. Very nice $250
		22.German ww2 M37 lowboots, unissued in gray and natural leather. I am selling these from my own collection. This pair is unissued and in a very large size (31 1/2 German WW2), about a US 11 1/2 maybe?. Tops are gray colored leather, foot area is natural leather, undyed. On the front area, sole, there is a "41" mark, which is for the date 1941. The maker is stamped on the soles and also inside the ankle "Vereinigte Wiesloch". Also has original issue laces. Large, unissued early pairs like this are extremely rare. $2500
	23. German WW2 luftwaffe paratrooper grenade bags. RB numbered and mint/unissued set that is absolutely perfect. Standard green canvas type material. Zippers are the correct plastic "Ri-Ri" type with the original material ties still attached. Retaining straps are a heavy, matching color olive green. If you need a perfect, mint pair to accessorize your fallschirmjäger, this set is for you. I doubt it could be upgraded. Textbook example. $1499 SALE $1299
		24.German handgrenades, 2 practice grenades and an Imperial German WW1 "potato masher" handgrenade.   A)German ww2 wehrmacht M24 practice handgrenade, "41 brb"(later Richard Rinker mark) marked on metal head and wooden handle, handle also "Ub" marked and waffenampted. Has string and porcelain pull. Dent to bottom cap. Near excellent. $400 B)German ww2 wehrmacht M24 practice handgrenade, "RR 1940" (earlier Richard Rinker maker mark) marked metal head and wooden handle. "Ub" marked handle. has the string cord and porcelain pull. Overall excellent+, beautiful example. SOLD C)German WW1 M1917 potato masher hand grenade. Beautiful example with a nice 1918 date on the handle, along with the the maker mark. Another line of stamping on the handle notes the fuze timing of 5 1/2 seconds. Head stenciling is mostly intact and reads "vor gebrauch sprengkaspel einsetzen", which translates to "insert detonator before use". Top of head not shown, but stenciled with "W.A.S.R." and a date, which I can only make out the year, 1918. Has the cord and the pull ball. Really nice example. almost 100 years old! SOLD
	25.German WW2 Army/luft, etc "issue" jackboots. Really nice pair and an uncommon variant with the re-inforced top. They are well marked, dated 1942 and also depot marked "B.A.S." for Stuttgart. Leather is in excellent supple condition. They are complete with all their hobnails and also have the heel irons. Sole measures nearly 12" long. I think they are about a US 10 1/2 or 11. Really nice used pair of tough to find jackboots. $975 SALE $850

		26.German WW2 Kriegsmarine marked jackboots. Scarce example marked inside on the sole "BAW 26" for Bekleidungs-amt Wilhelmshaven and the size (26). Leather is in overall nice, clean condition with strong stitching. There is one little 1/6" tear on the top of the right boot (see photos), but it is not detractive. These are the variation with the extra leather at the top. The soles have a lot of the original hobnails still present, but some are worn down. The sole measures almost 10 1/2" long, so the size is about a 9 1/2 US. Overall near excellent, decent, worn example. $599 $450 SALE! $400
	27.German WW2 Luftwaffe tan tropical rucksack. Fairly scarce backpack to come by, used in Africa and southern Europe. This example is salty, exhibiting use and wear. It is maker marked and dated 1942. Hardware is early aluminum style. One ring on back has a loose area where it is attatched to the bag, but it is still firmly attatched. Overall solid, used example. $245 SALE $210
		28.German WWII Luftwaffe "schwimmweste" or life vest. This model is the 10-30 B2, used by pilots and crews of all types. The B2 is distinguished by the use of plastic mounts instead of the earlier metal. This is a veteran bringback example that was unissued, but has some light soiling from storage. It is complete with the original air bottle for inflation. Also has the air tube for manual inflation. Complete with all straps and friction buckles. This example is unique in the fact that it has snaps under the collar to attach it to something, I have not seen that before. The manufacturer's bevo tag dates it at May 1941 and it was made by Auer. Other than the slight soiling, it is nearly perfect. Beautiful example and hard to get piece of flight equipment. SOLD
	29.German ww2 a-frame RB numbered bag. This is a neat example for a couple reasons. First, it is a tropical version, but secondly, it is made in a green waterproof type canvas that is a bit heavier than the standard version. It may have been very lightly used, as there are 3 soiling marks on the front. Other than that, it appears never used. Nice RBN stamp inside. holdChoice example. $299 HOLD
		30.German wehrmacht issue canteen. Nice 1943 dated example. Cup has a neat green/brown paint color and maker marked and dated "MH 43", I think. Bottle itself has the reddish enamel coating. The outerstrap is a replacement I believe, as the cap strap is broken. Wool cover in nice condition except for a few stain spots. Canteen is overall near excellent. Decent example. $75
	31.German WW2 army issue cavalry saddle bag connector or coupling device. Very rare item to find, you see the bags all the time, but this is only the second "überwurf" I have come across. This example is in near excellent, used condition and is fully complete and workable with everything intact. It has wear from use, some minor surface rust and the leather straps show a bit of wear, but nothing is wrong with it and it is very solid. In the middle, it iscreased a little, but comes right into shape, as soon as it is laid across something, like it would be with a horse's back. It is comprised of a rawhide inside, covered mostly with leather and has metal parts for coupling. Device is nicely maker marked and dated 1941. The metal parts are also maker marked. Perfect for a cavalry or equipment display. Choice! $650
		32.German WWII wehrmacht MP38/40 ammo pouches. This is not a set that came together, but they work well. Blue canvas, brown leather. Both were originally maked across the top "MP38 u. 40" in white ink and had a maker and waffenampt. This has mostly faded from the loader side, but some can be made out, the other side still has it fairly visible. A)loader side- one small repair on bottom front of middle pouch, one belt loop has had it's stitching re-inforced. Very good, used condition. $950 SALE $750 B)standard side- very good used condition, markings nicely visible on reverse, belt loops have been replaced post war (Norwegian Army). $650 SALE $550
	33.German ww2 tropical version of the S.F. 14 Z. Gi. rabbit ear style rangefinder optic, used by artillery units. Maker is "bmj", which is M.Hensoldt u. Sohne Werk f¸r optic, Wetzlar. Has the wooden and metal backpack style carrier with all web strapping and sand yellow type color. Interior has provision for other accessories and is custom fit for the optics. One accessory is with it, which is the "baumschrauben" or tree screw. I think this was so you could mount it anywhere to wood, if the tripod was not available. Case has one small brake in the wood, but is very, very sturdy. The optic itself has a range gradiant (grid) in the right lens. It is in very nice condition, with mostly all (98%) of it's paint. The lenses are nice and clear and it's easy to read the range grid. Overall example is in excellent, used condition, in all tropical paint with web straps to the carrier. Scarce. $2499 $1950 SALE $1600

		34.German WWII luftwaffe paratrooper bandolier. Great unissued or barely used K98 paratrooper bandolier in the blue cloth. It would be perfect except for the head of one snap being missing (still works though!). No markings that I can find. Very nice example of a harder to get piece of fieldgear. $1100
	35.German Wehrmacht issue holsters. Couple of tougher to find holster, perfect to finish a combat mannequin. a)Cz27 holster, unissued condition. Super nice pebbled leather exterior with RB number, code and 1944 markings on the back belt loop, but all hard to see because of the pebbling. $255 b)Radom P35 holster, well used, but in nice solid condition. Hard to read inside holster marking, but it is "P35p". Really nice, hard to find example. $175
		36.German ww2 enlisted soldier's belt and k98 ammo pouch, as it was brought back by a US GI. Nice example with just normal light use, just as it came back from WW2. Belt is maker marked and size marked "90" for 90cm (36" overall length without the catch). Pouch is RB numbered and has all the dividers inside. Just has edge wear. Superb start for a combat equipment set. $175
	37.German ww2 1945 dated P38 pistol holster. Rare example and the only maker I know made '45 dated holsters. Basically unissued soft shell example with just storage wear. Back is marked "gxy 1945" and also "P38". (gxy is Gebr. Klinge, Dresden-Löbtau) If you are making a late war mannequin or have a late 1944-45 pistol, this is the example you've been looking for. Scarce. $299
		38.German army tropical belt with army buckle. Nice late war RB numbered example, near mint condition. Belt is size marked, RB numbered on leather tongue and also stamped 1940 with maker, but I believe those stamps are either postwar applied or the tongue is an earlier piece that was re-used on this later wartime belt. Buckle is in excellent condition with brown leather tab, marked "H.Aurich, Dresden, 1942". Nice example. $350
	39.Luftwaffe tropical web belt. Interesting tan example with light brown tongue that has been period dyed blue (I think). The buckle clasp is painted a light green. Belt is 36 1/2" long and in excellent condition. Nice example. $360 SALE $299
		40.German WW2 Army/W-SS G43 pouches. These are for the G43 and or K43 rifle and are done in ersatz oilcloth material. They are unissued and near mint, with just storage wear and maybe a little dirt. Top 2 and bottom left examples are "ros 1944", bottom right example is unmarked. The 3 ros 1944 pouches, each have backstraps in different material (leather, black web, green web is sold). Unmarked example has leather belt straps. All are the "pebbled" finish variety. $299 each SALE! $250 each
	41.German ww2 medic stretcher canvas. Scarce canvas pieces that when put on wooden poles, create the German ww2 medical stretcher. These are extremely scarce and this is only one of a handful I have ever seen. One half is missing the connecting strap, otherwise they are complet and in very good condition. They are in a luftwaffe blue type canvas, but were probably used by all branches. Both halves are maker marked dny, dated, though I can't read it and are also waffenampted. Overall it shows field use, wear and tear, but is still very strong, about very good condition. First one I have ever seen for sale. $599SALE $499

		42.German ww2 MG34/42 gunner's tool pouch. Decent 1945! dated example, marked and "fuq 1945". It is made of black prestoff and shows a bit of combat wear, but is still very solid. Has a slot inside for an extractor and also the anti-aircraft sight. (no items included) Would look great on the belt of an MG34 gunner, in a mannequin display. Nice example. $375
	43. German WWII wehrmacht scarce strap for the 12 or 18 flare pouches, also the same strap for the flare holster. Each end has a spring clip for attaching. It is adjustable with a buckle and has 2 leather keepers. Excellent, used condition. Scarce. $275
		44.German WW2 U-Boat binoculars by blc (Carl Zeiss) 7x50. Really nice pair from my collection. Paint is super and is the standard smooth sea green (looks more tan in my photos, but it is green). Serial number is 64138. Rubber has some wear, but is complete and intact. Optics look very clear to me. I am not sure if the strap is original to them, as I have no reference for it. It is brown leather with brass studs. Looks to have been there a long time. The bakelite protective eye cover (Benutzer) is there, but is no longer attached. It is marked on the bottom to the bakelite firm "HRS" for H. Römmler, Spremberg. On the top, it has been prefectly engraved with "U-277". I am not sure if this is original to it, but from the looks of it, it has been there a very long time. Overall, a really nice example that I hate to part with. Tough set to find. $2995 SALE $2400
	45.German ww2 blc 6x30 binoculars in bakelite case. Nice example to complete a mannequin. The bakelite container is marked inside. Someone has carved a swastica in the top, probably the vet who brought them back., but it is very neatly done. Leather strap is intact, but not the belt loops on the back. Binoculars themselves are average. Wear here and there, but nicely marked. They have the leather strap, but also a 1936 Leitz Wetzlar dust cover that is waffenampt marked. Overall nice set. $299
		46.German ww2 scarce 1940 saddle bag. This example was for the right side of the rear of the saddle and was the "battle bag". It could be worn on the back as an assault pack. It held food, sweather, k98 cleaning kit, zelt rope, washcloth, soap, razor and has 3 sections for k98 ammo, built in. The saddle bag is in nice, used condition with soft leather. The only dectraction is someone has removed the top straps. An extra piece has been included with it, to be able to use it on the saddle. Very scarce, I have only ever seen 2 of this type. Leather is maker marked and dated 1941. For details see "Uniforms and Traditions of the German Army", vol3, pgs 235/236. $599
	47.German WW2 Wehrmacht late war backpack carrier (tragegestell) often used for 8cm GrW34 mortars. It is 1944 maker marked and dated, also waffenampted. The metal frame is also maker code marked, dated 1942 and waffenampted (behind the waist belt). I notice 2 arms are gone from the top, maybe they were removed? There is a photo of Hungarian Arrow-Cross troops using this for carrying the 8cm mortar. Excellenct condition paint on the metal and also beautiful condition webbing. Very nice example! $550 SALE $499
		48.German WWII matched pairs of K98 ammo pouches. Clockwise from upper left. a)RB numbered set, excellent, separaters still present inside!, one slightly nicer than the other$165 b)"gfg 1943" marked set, very good/exc $155 c)SOLD d)RB numbered set, rivited front strap, one has separaters, very good/exc $155
	49.German ww2 Kriegsmarine deck mount binoculars, U.D.F 7x50 manufactured by blc (Carl Zeiss). Outstanding example, this type was used on U-boats and other vessels, I think. Hans Seeger's book describes them as "watertight U-boat sight for firing torpedos when on the surface." They are made of heavy (I mean HEAVY) brass construction and the rubber eyecups are in perfect condition. Lenses are clear and not foggy. Knurled knob on right adjusts the 2 lenses bringing them closer together or farther apart. There is a single line vertical for a gratical. I don't see anything luminous when I move the "hell/dunkel" knob. Everything works well on these and they are very tough to find. The paint is really nice on the and is the original factory battleship gray of the Kriegsmarine. Outstanding piece that I am selling from my collection. $7500 SALE $6500
