German WW1/WW2 Militaria Many of the items listed here are from a collector who has decided to sell off his collection acquired over several decades. Many very fine and rare pieces are included, as well as some reproduction items clearly identified as such. These are mainly hats obtained to complete a comprehensive collection of German military headgear. If there is any doubt at all about an item, we will identify that fact and sell it as a reproduction. This is an opportunity to get some very scarce items, along with many in superior condition. We expect to be adding many more uniform items, including German Kreigsmarine Admiral uniforms, UBoat leathers, Army overcoats, and lots more headgear plus many other items as the collector releases them to the market.
Medals Buckles and Insignia Miscellaneous Treasures (tools, knives, gas masks, canteens, flags, etc.) Uniforms (dress and combat pants, shirts, jackets, coats) Leather and Web Combat Gear (holsters, slings, belts, packs, pouches, etc) Head Gear (helmets, hats and caps)
Return to Collectors Headquarters. 11215 LOT OF 2 WORKER DAY (TAG DER ARBEIT) TINNIES - 1934 and 1935 dated. Both excellent but pin mising from back of the 1934. Both for $29.00 (View Picture) SMM1621 - MOUNTAIN TROOP SLEEVE EDELWEISS. BACKGROUND: On May 2ND 1939 the Oberkommando des Heeres, (Army High Command), authorized wear of a distinctive Edelweiss tradition badge by Mountain Troop personnel to be worn on the upper right sleeve of the service, dress and field uniforms. Design of the badge was based on a badge worn by the WWI German Alpine Corps. On introduction the badge was on a blue/green badge cloth base, but in early 1940 this was altered to a field-gray wool base. Of Note: A metal edelweiss with stem was designed for wear on the mountain cap and a stemless edelweiss was authorized for wear on the visor cap. Original regulations, unsuccessfully, dictated the edelweiss's were to be removed from wear if the personnel were transferred out of a Mountain Troop unit. On November 12TH 1944 regulations were altered to permitted continued wear of the edelweiss after transfer out of a Mountain Troop unit as long as the individual had combat experience with the Mountain Troops. SMM1753 - German WWII Group. Cap insignia, belt buckle and more. We are not sure if this stuff is real or reproduction so we are offering it at a bargian price as a group. Maybe a great deal maybe not. $125.00 (View Picture) SMM1616 - German WWII Pebbled Aluminum RAD Enlisted Buckle. (Koppelschloß) The basis of the RAD, Reichsarbeitsdienst, (National Labour Service), dates back, at least, to 1929 with the formation of the AAD (Anhalt Arbeitsdienst) and the FAD-B (Freiwillingen Arbeitsdienst-Bayern), Shortly after Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor, (January 1933) the NSDAP consolidated these, and other labor organizations into the NSAD (Nationalsozialist Arbeitsdienst), a national labor service. On June 26TH 1935 the NSAD was re-designated RAD. Originally personnel serving with RAD wore a variety of earlier FAD/NSAD belt buckles until February 15TH 1936 when new pattern belt buckles for Officer’s and EM/NCO’s were introduced to provided uniformity in dress. SMM1629 - German WWII Arm Patch Reichskriegerbund (National Veterans Organization). $35.00 (View Picture) **NEW ADDITION** 9867 WW2 GERMAN PIONEER AXE CARRIER - Black leather with metal fittings. Used fine-excellent. No markings that I could find, but definitely WW2 German workmanship. Used for building field fortifications, urban combat, clearing fields of fire or trails, making bridges, gathering firewood, etc. $50.00 (View Picture) 17298 GERMAN RIFLE GRENADE FOR K98K MAUSER (INERT) - Used with the "Gewehrgranatgerat (G Gr K98k)" and discussed in detail on Richard Law's "Backbone of the Wehrmacht" on pages 333-335. These were adopted in 1942 and had a rear section which clamps to the barrel of the rifle, and a rifled barrel section which screws into the other. The grenade has a pre-engraved rotating band and is loaded from the muzzle, and launched with a special blank cartridge. The launchers are extremely scarce and I have only seen 2 or 3 in the last 10 years. The grenades are even scarcer! This is in badly rusted and pitted relic condition, and the grenade has been professionally deactivated so there are no explosive components. (NOTE: this cannot be sold or shipped to places run by idiots like Kalifornia, New York, Massachusetts or any other city or state where prohibited.) $75.00 (View Picture) **SOLD** SMA2308 Reproduction Luger Magazine. - Excellent condition. Magazine has a wooden base and nickel plated finish so it will go well with WWI vintage Lugers. This magazine would be perfect for someone who wants an extra magazine for his Luger but does not want the $150.00 or more that an original would cost. $35.00 (View Picture) SMEW1633 - Sword Hanger German WW2 (?). This hanger was included with a collection of captured German and Italian items that we purchase from a retired WW2 vetern. It is made of gold wire on a gold cloth background with a blue stripe running down the middle and back borders. Hanger is about 45 inches long and adjustable with silver (probably nickel plated) buckles and clips on both ends. Hanger is in excellent condition with no tears, holes or fraying of the fabric and no rust or damage to any of the metal hardware. $125.00 (View Picture) Return to Collectors Headquarters. Uniforms (Coats, shirts, pants, belt buckles, etc dress or combat types) **NEW ADDITION** 3561 WW2 German Kriegsmarine- War Official (RSV) tunic - This is from a very advanced collection of German items and we have relied on his identification for this item, but it appears to be 100% genuine original pre-1945. He determined that it is for a “Master Technical Official” which I assume is a quasi-military status whereby technical representatives are given military status and rank equivalency for Geneva Convention purposes. Or, maybe just so they could dress up in cool uniforms like everyone else they worked with. Overall excellent condition with no moth damage. Very light signs of wear on the sharp edges, and the button on the right epaulette is dented. No maker label or owners name or obvious signs of removal. This has been stuffed in a closet and needs to be pressed and will be a very impressive example of a Third Reich uniform that actually looks a bit different. $425.00 (View Picture) 3558 Deutsche Jungvolk (DJ) brown shirt - Insignia indicate Mittel Elbe Division. Correct without armband as the DJ did not wear the armband. (See Chapter 18 of Littlejohn's "The Hitler Youth") The DJ were sort of a junior version of the Hitler Youth. Missing button from left breast pocket (sewn on type) and two from front that are detachable types, plus those from the cuffs. Size is about 15 neck by 33 sleeve, so must have been worn by a leader rather than a youthful Jungvolk. Some rust stains on the back (about 8-10 circles like from a chain?) and three on right front. Seams need to be restitched in two places (about 2" under left armpit and 1 inch on yoke at back of the collar. $350.00 (View Picture) **NEW ADDITION** 17950 GERMAN LEATHER SLING FOR MAUSER M8171 OR 1871/84 RIFLES - At least that is what we were told it was for. Black leather with a heavy cast brass buckle permanently sewn to one end. Other end is typical late 1800s design with folded over loop secured by a brass stud. No markings we could find. Nice and supple, great for display, but probably too weak from age to hold up to actual use. Overall Vg-fine condition, has been cleaned and polished. $95.00 (View Picture) 17860 German P.08 Luger holster dated 1941 - Black leather with good markings on back A.FISCHER/ BERLIN C.2/1941 over eagle/swastika. Leather shows scuffing and some scrapes and will look a lot better after a good touchup with black polish. Some very minor light surface cracking to the finish. Leather is firm, but flexible. Good stitching except rear belt loop stitching at the top is weak. Fine for display, but might not last through another winter on the Eastern front. $175.00 (View Picture)
SMA2092 Rare WWII Vintage German Luger (P.08) Police Holster Dated 1941 - Germans have usually favored holsters that covered and protected the entire pistol while Americans like holsters that provide a "quick draw". The Luger was issued with such a holster and given the millions of Lugers that were issued these holsters are frequently seen on the collector market. A much rarer holster is the one made for Lugers issued to the German police. The basic design is the same, but the strap come up from the body of the holster rather than down from the flap.
SMM2208 SLING Repro - K98, WWII German. (K98 Trägriemen) - When issued all K98's were equipped with a carrying sling. All K98k"s, G43"s and MP44"s used the same "Karabiner" sling made of leather with a diamond pattern embossed. It had a keeper (Frosch) in butt stock end and three holes for adjustment.
SMM2072 SLING - K98, WWII German. (K98 Trägriemen) Reproduction - When issued all K98's were equipped with a carrying sling. All K98k"s, G43"s and MP44"s used the same "Karabiner" sling made of leather with a diamond pattern embossed. It had a keeper (Frosch) in butt stock end and three holes for adjustment. SMA1999 WWII German Luger (P.08) Holster. - Holster is dated 1940 and marked on back with the German WW-II Heerswaffenamt inspector's mark eagle over ''WaA300''. The back of the holster is also stamped with the maker name ''D.RICHEL / CENGEFELD''. ''P.08'' is stamped on the inside of the flap. Condition is very good+ with intact stitching, ''lift out'' strap, buckle strap and belt loops. The leather is supple with one crack on the flap and about 90%+ of the original finish remaining. Overall this is a nice original WWII Luger holster that would really clean up nicely with a little TLC. $350.00 (View Picture) SMEW1962 German WWI Vintage Leather Frog for the K98 - MODEL 1898/05 (Butcher Blade) Bayonet. - Frog is marked on back "BERLIN / 1917" The white stitching is intact and in very good condition. The metal rivets have pulled out of the leather on back but this is not noticeable from the frond and they could be replaced or repaired. The leather is in good condition except for some cracking and on back where the rivets have pulled out. WWI German frogs are especially hard to find in any condition. Overall a very nice frog with good markings, it will probably clean up nicely with a little TLC. $99.00 (View Picture) 3634 German Brown Leather Ammo pouch Triple pocket design similar to the common WW2 issue, but compartments are larger,and I believe intended for use with the earlier 11mm Model 71 or 71/84 series Mausers. Could also have been used with three clips of 8mm cartridges in each pocket. Dark brown leather is fairly pliable. Stitching weak in one or two places and the tab for the suspender "D" ring has been repaired with a rivet after sticthing broke. Marking on back looks like it might be JD over IVI, all in a circle. Overall good. $39.00

White cover is soiled somewhat so it looks older than it is. About 2 or 3 inch diameter stain on the white cover in the front by KM eagle and rondel. Not sure what caused stain or how hard it will be to remove, but it adds character. (In the US Navy we trained people that if they got sea sick they should not puke in their hat, but Maybe the Krauts had different doctrine.) $95.00 (View Picture) 2643JB90 Third Reich Schutz Police EM Dress Hat Excellent quality Reproduction, late style. $135.00 (View Picture) 2636JB75 3rd Reich Army EM Field Hat Inverted V is white (infantry) cloth insignias.
