This is from a WWII; bought @ his garage sale in SE Michigan last summer, by one of my pickers. It is a rare Panzer work lamp marked "Panzerhandlampe". The base is very heavy, and I think it must contain a very large powerful battery. It looks like the top must come off with threads. The top is a molded opaque glass dome, that @ one time was sealed with some type of white material. It sits in there, but in a loose manner. It has a nice stamp into the body on the bottom. this is the 1st one of these I have had. This is perfect for you Panzer guys!
This is a great example of a standard wartime Zelt. It has no problems and the colors are very bright, with the exception of a piece of the front, that was exposed to sunlight for a while, and has faded a little. It is perfect for a display.
ACHTUNG!! Just in from the Eastern Front (Ukraine) we have original WWII German G/K 43 magazine pouches All are in very good condition without any bad spots in the leather, solid stitching and good hardware. A few are just a bit crunched, but will come back to life with a bit of newspaper stuffing. Get them here now without sending your $$$ off to Armpitastan or some other place in the old Soviet workers' paradise. I have inventory listed the pouches by a letter i.e.. pouch A, B,C ...Z etc FYI There is no difference between a G43 and K43 magazine pouch. Only 1 pouch was issued per rifle. The soldier one G/K43 mag pouch with a standard K98 ammo pouch on the other side.
This is a great natural leather pouch marked "cny45"
This is a great natural leather pouch marked "cny44"
This is a great natural leather pouch marked "cny45" and a WaA proof
This is the standard black leather style pouch marked bla44
This is a standard issue set of K98 Ammo pouches. The makers are not the same, but they look like a set in terms of condition, style of manufacture and era, both being early war. style. The top one needs to be stuffed with newspaper to fill it out. Overall they have no breaks or problems, and display very well. 
These are the standard WWII German ammo pouches used by German infantry and other troops. All of them are very solid and without problems. All the leather and hardware are very good. Each one is maker marked. I will do my best to match up a pair for you. They will look like a set, but not with the same maker. They will be a set in terms of style of production, condition, early or late war etc. They all need a little wipe down from years of dusty storage, but are otherwise great and solid.
This is the rare tan cleaning kit with full length braided chain. The can is in great condition with 98% original tan paint. The oiler is not the last ditch type, but I have seen this type in these tan cans before. Both brushes are original and very good. Only the tool is missing. Overall, this is a tough one to find, and is the way it came out of the woodwork in Toledo, Ohio.
This is right out of the woodwork in Pontiac, Michigan from a 1st Inf. Div vet' estate. It is a nice complete ARR44 dated cleaning kit complete with stamped oiler and braided chain. The can has 2 solid latches and some original grease in the short end. The tool is also marked ARR44, the end pin is there, but loose. Overall, this is a great cleaning kit to go with your favorite 3rd Reich rifle.
This is a classic piece of military hardware. I love these things. This is a good late war Normandy example. It features a pressed on head, and not held to the wood with screws. The handle is marked flf43. The head has just a lot number and a nice WaA proof. There is a shallow dent on one side of the head. The pull ball and string are also original, making this INERT grenade very nice overall example, just missing the "bang". 
This is typical of what has come out of Europe in the last 20 years. The handle is solid, but very dark. The steel parts show old rust and have been repainted. The bottom end is missing. It is good for a general display or for a mannequin. If you fear replicas, this is for you.
These are original WWII German ceramic pull igniters for the stick grenade. I have replaced the rotted string with new made in Europe correct looking string. The knots are tied correctly, and are aged a bit. They look really good.
These were designed to give the stick grenade some extra shrapnel, and allow them to be used in a more defensive nature. It is typical of what comes out of Europe as being excavated from old bunkers. The finish is mostly brown with rust, but still displays well. It is an excellent addition to your 3rd Reich fieldgear display.
These are from a large quantity fond in a collapsed bunker in North Russia some years ago. They are rusty, but still nice for a display. Most of them have the bottom threads broken off, but could be used to fix a grenade missing a fuse. I only have a small quantity available.
This is so German! It is over produced, and really a piece of craftsmanship, just made to go boom! The condition is great, and it is a really nice piece to go with your fieldgear stuff.
These pouches have experienced much debate over the last 15 years. A quantity of them was found in Czechoslovakia. Some people think they are post-war Czech. If you care to read further, I will explain the logic in why I feel they are original WWII. The pouch is maker marked MER 45. The exact pouch is pictured in the 1945 G/K 43 manual. The maker also made holsters during the war of the same material. I have a sling which has the same maker mark and is dated 1944. I will upload the photo of the sling markings as soon as I find the sling. My mother lived in Czechoslovakia in 1945, she was 12 years old, and told me of the shoe shortage. Do you think a country that just survived the war, and has a shortage of EVERYTHING is going to make magazine pouches!!! Now you decide if they are original. Yes, they do have Czech markings from about 1950, but that is typical of re-issuing surplus military gear. The Czechs did that commonly with surplus German equipment. Overall the pouch is in really nice un-messes with condition. You will not be disappointed!
These were used only by flight personnel. This piece is just perfect!!! It is 100% untouched and original. It is 42 dated and maker marked with a large Luftwaffe proof mark. The inside is marked to be used for the Hungarian P37 pistol only. Those Germans, so rule oriented!!! Ordenung must sein!! If you like holsters, you will love this one!!!
This is a perfect holster. The leather and stitching are just the way they should be. It reminds me of my wife, soft yet firm. Unlike my wife, it is police marked. The front strap has never been buttoned. This one is a winner; you will love it!
This is a very solid example. The black leather is very solid with tight stitching. The front strap and rear belt loops are all very solid, but the stitching under the front strap is broken is a few stitches, but still very solid. Overall it is a really good example.
This is a very solid example. The black leather is very solid with only some light crazing towards the bottom front. The stitching is all very good without problems. The front strap and rear belt loops are all very solid. Overall it is a great example.
I pulled this out of a really nasty original holster. I see no WaA mark on top, but perhaps it is there. The bottom is numbered 7889. It shows a little rust and some use. But, is a 100% original piece.
This is the rare Kurz or short 8MM ammo for the MP44 series weapons. I have assorted maker marks and both 44 & 45 dates. All is original German WWII packed, and not postwar East German or Czech. It will display well with your guns or field gear.
This is the best replica WWII Soviet PPSH model ever made. It is the Japanese copy from the 1980s. Everything that should be made of metal, is made of metal. If feels just like a real one in terms of weight and materials. The condition is basically perfect. It disassembles just like a real one. It does not fire, and can not be made to fire, and requires no paperwork. This is a great piece to fill in your Eastern Front display.
This is a standard WWII Soviet PPSH sub-machine gun made from original parts. The lower receiver, trigger group, stock, but plate, drum and sling are all original. The front barrel and barrel jacket are replicas. The barrel jacket/ upper receiver are cast and painted black. Nothing moves, and the appearance is a little rough, but as a whole it is a great display piece, and looks really nice. It is a non-gun and does not require any paperwork, but I will not send it out of the U.S. or to Rio-Linda, CA.
This is the best replica MP40 model ever made. It is the Japanese copy from the 1960s-1970s. Everything that should be made of metal, is made of metal. The condition is very good looking. The finish has faded a bit to a black/grey making it look even more like a real one. It disassembles just like a real MP40. It does not fire, and can not be made to fire, and requires no paperwork. This is a perfect display piece for your man cave!
This is a neat pair of high quality replica pouches that have been aged a little, and look to have some red "movie blood" added for a cool look. They are the right size to hold mags and a loader, and will look great in your display.
This is an original WWII German MP38/40 sling. It is really nice crosshatched brown leather, and it has the original markings with a WaA mark. I dug through hundreds of Austrian post-war slings to find the original ones. This is a perfect one, for your collection. Yes, I will hand pick one out of the pile to make you happy, but if you run into me in Key Largo during Spring break, you owe me a margarita.
These are very often missing. It is from a recent garage sale in Ohio. The strap came on an original MGZ 40 can, which I have kept for my collection. It is a bit dirty, but still solid. This is ready for use with your favorite MG 34 or MG42 optics.
This came together with the above mentioned cup (#110772) and strap. It will not fit the MGZ40 optical sight. It is the standard amber filter for the MG34 optical sight. It is perfect without any chips or damage.
This is a good solid example. The leather is a bit greasy, but very solid. The steel hardware is original and very good.
These were very a typical item within an infantry unit; as the MG42 barrels were changed often. It is an original WWII German example originally painted tan, and repainted later, perhaps by the Germans or maybe post-war. It is a good solid example without any problems.
This is a super example of the standard MG34 75 round ammo can. The paint is original and really great. The markings are very clear, and 39 dated. It is all around very solid, and without any problems.
This is a nice tight original set that has been repainted by the Germans later in the war with a very dark green grey field color. The original factory paint is visible under the green. The carrier is dated WA maker marked. The mags are both maker marked by the same company. The carrier and both mags are very good without any problems. Everything is functional and original wartime German and NOT POSTWAR. The cloth pads on the inside of the holder that keep the mags from bouncing are both there, and tight. Overall this is a very good MG drum set. 
What, you don't have one of these on your MG34??!! Are you crazy? What will the duty NCO say?!! You had better buy a supply right now. All of them will fit either MG, and are basically perfect.
This is for the MG optical sight batteries, but also for the rabbit ears, and large 10X80 Flak binoculars, and other German WWII optics. It is a nice example with almost all of the tan paint.
This is for the cm or larger Mortar. It has been painted grey over the original tan paint, which is still visible on the outside. The inside mountings have been removed a long time ago, but the exterior fittings are all present and functional. These are tough to find, and would be fine for your combat display.
This is a nice early Walther marked and 41 dated flare pistol. The finish is very solid and it is mechanically functional. He barrel is matched to the frame, and it has lots of nice WaA and Walther proofs. These aluminum flare pistols do not hold their finish well, but overall, it is a nice example of an early Wather made piece.
This is a really good version of the later war flare pistol. The finish is excellent, and it looks to be functional. I would cal this a collector grade example.
The Germans used flare guns heavily in combat for signaling and for illumination. This is a good solid example featuring a good amount of the original zinc finish. One grip is broken, and the trigger is a bit touchy, but for the most part the gun is a good example. These were not blued during the war, but often seen with that type of finish post war refurbished. Overall it is perfect for a display or reenactor. Cannot be shipped to Rio Linda, Ca or outside of the US.
These are really nice original bakelite canisters made to hold 5 standard 27 mm flare cartridges. They are mint and 1941 or 1942 dated. I have both colors available, which hold red or green flares.
This is the early short canister which is approx 3cm shorter than the later version. These were still used during the war by front line troops. The can has very good paint and original straps, and the original owner's name. The straps still have the original leather inserts, which help to extend the life of the straps. these are always missing. he mask is solid, but not numbered to the can. The filter has a rusted through spot on one side, but is still solid. This is a good example for a field gear display.
Every gasmask can should have a set of these to wipe the eyepieces. The spring holds the cloth in the bottom of the can. Take a look in your gasmask can. Do you see one of these? I thought so, it's missing. You should buy this one before I raise the price because you need it. Ok OK just kidding, I wont raise the price, just yet.
These have become really hard to find. This is a great example that is dated 43 on the body and the cup. All the straps are very solid, and it has no problems. I bought 2 from an old collection. One is for me to keep, and the other is for you. It is a great example, don't miss it.
This is the standard issue spork that everybody had. It is an early one made of aluminum and maker marked HHL 38.
These were favorite GI souvenirs. It is all dated the same, and is of the same make, but 2 are made of steel and 2 of aluminum. The set came out of a flea market in the back roads of Ohio. It has the ever popular Nazi eagle. Overall, it is a good set.
This is a very solid example. It shows a bit of use, and has one small crack. Overall it is a very good example.
This is a good example of the standard issue bread bag. It shows very little use, and has a very small amount of damage on one belt loop, but is still a good display example.
This is the standard police blue green color. It shows some age and use, but is still solid. These police bread bags are tough to find.
This is standard for the SA or other political organizations. It is nicely RZM marked on the throat of the bottle. It has good solid leather straps, and a nice wool body. The belt hook is made by Ritter with a DRGM mark. It is ready to display with your paramilitary stuff.
This is a standard political bread bag. It would be appropriate for SA, RAD NSDAP, NPEA NSFK etc. The entire piece is in excellent condition.
These are original zinc plated steel dog tags. The have no damage or rust.
This is a good sound example of the tropical bayonet frog. Green canvas is army and the tan is for Luftwaffe. It shows some age and use. It is almost cut-through @ the bayonet stud, but is good for display. I think it could be fixed to look better. A wash would also help it. Tell your wife you bought a tropical frog; she will not expect this!
These were used to hold a blanket, over coat or shelter quarter to the backpack, or hold the shelter quarter on the belt or Y straps. They are NOT for the mess it. All of them are in almost mint condition. They were used by the Czech Army after the war, but are original WWII German issue. I will match up sets for you in you need the as a set. These are really nice.
These were used to hook the Y straps to the belt if an ammo pouch was not worn. Or carry an extra canteen. these are not for your SS or SA dagger. All are original and marked. Condition is solid, but used.
This is a solid example of the standard issue map case. It has no problems, and has solid leather and stitching. Overall it is a good example for a field display.
This is a mint and perfect set of artillery gloves. they are made of a white leather and have nice markings. You will not be disappointed!! they are a recent garage sale find by one of my sheeney guys.
These guns were used much by the German armed forces. The pouch holds three magazines for the Steyr Solethern sub gun. They are shorter than MP40 mags. It is made of very nice quality brown leather made by Stolla of Vienna in 1935, and is in super nice condition. It includes one WaA #189 marked clip, which has been worked on to fit some other gun. So it is not functional, but looks good, and is a nice filler. This is a nice addition to a 3rd Reich fieldgear collection.
This is the standard German WWII type medical kit can or box, but used by the Luftschutz or air defense. The paint is 90%+ with all the latches in working order. It is a really nice example.
It's not as attractive as the one above, because the lettering is a standard stencil and not that fancy German script. Still this medical box is in very nice condition, and has no problems. Everything is functional and original.
There is some debate if these are war-time or post-war pouches. This is my "take" of the subject. Those that don't have one consider them post-war. Those that have one in their collection claim them to be original 3rd Reich. You can decide, but I will help you a little, if I may be so bold and offer the following info. I bought several of these in Czechoslovakia, before the wall came down. They were still full of original German WWII MG stuff. Some collectors think they are post war Austrian, but these were behind the iron curtain, left there after the war by the Germans. The construction and material are typical German WWII. They are post war marked, as the Czechs used them after the war. It was standard policy to mark German surplus gear for the Czech Army after the war.
This is a very standard German Army furpack. If is set up to be worn with the Y straps, as it has the hooks @ the top. It has the extra "D" rings on the front to carry the "A" frame. One of the bottom retaining straps is torn, but there. The side on the bottom has broken @ the seam. Otherwise it is good, and displays well.
This is the large mountain troop size rucksack with one large external pocket on the outside. It has seen use, but is still solid. It needs some straps, or is ok to display the way it is. The mess kit is pictured just fore size comparisons.
This is a good honest WWII dated flashlight battery. It is marked to be used by 1947 and made in 44. These wartime batteries are really hard to find. It is in very nice condition, and will fit the standard issue flashlight, which is pictured above.
This is from a recent vet load of WWII German souvenirs. It is a standard WWII German issue battery for the issue flashlight. It has no problems, and is a very good field gear item that is often missing.
This is right from one of my antique pickers. It is made of oil cloth and designed to fold in half an droll up. The use was for range or shoot /no shoot areas, as well as caution areas. it is the 1st one I have had. The poles are made of wood with leather fittings. Overall it has no problems, and is in very nice condition.
These are made in Europe, and are a very high quality replica. They are made of a synthetic material with wonderful markings. I see them sold as original too often. I have 4 available.
