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.

**NEW ADDITION** 15378 WW2 8mm Mauser Rifle ammunition- cardboard carton - Looks like it holds about 200 rounds in 15 round boxes.

One end looks okay but other end got messed up a bit when ite was opened, but can be folded back in place and look okay s part of a display. $10.00 (View Picture) 11671 HANDBOOK ON GERMAN MILITARY FORCES (TM-E 30-451) - Massive publication of about 600 pages published 15 March 1945 by the Army with loads of good information (including many photos) on virtually every aspect of German military forces, including SS, Luftwaffe, etc. Sections cover all types of weapons (small arms and artillery, chemical warfare, uniforms, field equipment, communications gear, unit types and organization.

SMM2029 WWII GERMAN EM/NCO'S BELT BUCKLE (Koppelschloß) - On January 24TH 1936 a new pattern EM/NCO’s belt buckle was officially introduced to replace the previously worn Weimar era Reichsheer buckle. The basic design of the Reichsheer buckle was retained with the addition of the new Wehrmacht style national eagle. This pattern buckle was worn through-out the Third Reich period with minor manufacturing variations and different colored finishes. The colored finish was determined by regulations depending on what form of uniform it was to be worn with. Originally military buckles produced under government contract had the addition of a leather, (canvas web for tropical buckles), tabs which were designed to help support the ammunition pouches and prevent slippage but regulations in 1942 discontinued the tabs to preserve leather although the directive was not completely adhered to. 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) SMM1623 - GERMAN WWII SS VISOR CAP EAGLE. (Schirmmütze Adler) On July 20TH 1934 shortly after the, June 30TH 1934, purge of the SA on the "Night of the Long Knives", the SS was rewarded by Hitler by being granted the status of an independent organization under direct control of the NSDAP. Originally, (circa 1932), SS personnel had worn the Imperial Prussian Danziger style skull and the political style national eagle on their visor caps. In an attempt to distance themselves from the SA, the SS introduced a new pattern cap skull to replace the previously used Imperial Prussian Danziger style skull on October 6TH 1934 and on February 15TH 1936 a new SS pattern national eagle was introduced. Both these pieces of insignia were worn through-out the war. **NEW ADDITION** SMM2133 Magazine Nazi Marked P38. - Excellent condition marked ``P.38v`` on the side and marked on the back with the German WW-II Heerswaffenamt inspector`s mark on arms produced at Mauser Werke AG, Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany, eagle over 359. $125.00 (View Picture) 15053 GERMAN RIFLE GRENADE LAUNCHER FOR K98K MAUSER (WITH GRENADE!) - Officially 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 have a rear section which clamps to the barrel of therifle, and a rifled barrel section which crews into the other. The grenade has a pre-engraved rotating band and is loaded from the muzzle, and launched with a special blank cartridge. These launchers are extremely scarce and I have only seen 2 or 3 in the last 10 years until we found this one. The grenades are even scarcer!. This set is in badly rusted and pitted relic condition, and the grenade has been professionally dieactivated so there are no explosive components. Just collecting different rifle grenade launchers would be a very interesting niche, with a wide variety to seek, some common, orthers very scarce. Some are integral with the rifle, but most are detachable. They date from WW1 to the present, and I can think or at least a dozen made just for U.S. military rifles. Of course, your spouse will understand the necessity for getting a suitable rifle after you acquire a great launcher. (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..) Overall used fine with most of the black painted finish. $225.00 (View Picture) 9761 P08 LUGER HOLSTER - Not sure if this is a repro or original, but it was brown leather then dyed black. No markings, so we assume it is a non-military type, perhaps police or commercial sale. God for use as a representative holster for a reenactor or a filler for a display. Used about good. Cheap at only $65.00 (View Picture) SMM1917 - WWII German 10 X 50 power Binoculars And Case by Leitz. The German army used a wide variety of optical enhancement items with the 6 x 30 power, (6 power magnification with a 30mm diameter objective lens), binoculars being the standard issue optics utilized by all branches of service. Although the 6 x 30 power binoculars were the standard issue, specialized personnel such as Artillery observers, Reconnaissance personnel, Searchlight personnel, etc., required stronger optics and assorted larger power binoculars were issued to these specialized personnel on a limited basis. These binoculars are 10 X 50 power. Tooled alloy and aluminum construction, black Bakelite and simulated leather fittings. The lens bodies retain all of their simulated, grained black leather coverings and the aluminum fittings retain about 80% of their original smooth black painted finish with small spots of wear to the base alloy. The binoculars have molded, black Bakelite eye sockets which are fully intact and the focus adjustment still functions. The optics are still quite crisp and clear. The right lens has a horizontal reticle pattern with vertical bars emanating from the center, outward, to either side. The central lens joining bracket with swivel width adjustment is intact and still functions. The right hand side, back (ocular) end, body panel is well marked with impressed designation, "Dienstglas 10 X 50", (Service Glasses), serial number, "400386". The left hand side, back (ocular) end, body panel is also well marked with impressed manufacturers three letter code, "beh" indicating manufacture by Ernst Leitz, Wetzlar, Germany and early lubricant code, "KF", indicating Kältefest, (cold resistant), which was effective in temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius. The left hand side, front end, body panel is marked with the scratched initials "A.R.". The binoculars come with their original blackened leather carrying strap. The carrying strap is attached to two raised, cut-out bars on the bottom of the binocular lens bodies with one alloy and one steel stud retainers. The strap shows moderate chafe wear but the leather is still quite supple. The case is kidney shaped molded black leather construction with sheet metal and blackened leather fittings. Roughly, 7 5/8" tall, 8 3/4" wide, 3 5/8" thick, tapering. Case features a fold back top lid with a stitched blackened leather hinge and a black leather pull tab to the obverse. The case is marked with an impressed maker and waffen-amt "HA???DRG" in an oval and 1936 / eagle / "WaA 273 279??. The interior of the top lid has a simulated black leather lining and the interior body has two simulated black leather covered frame panels to secure the binoculars in place. The case is in overall good condition although the top lid has the name "Rogers A" cut into it, this is possibly the name of the GI who "liberated" the binoculars. $350.00 (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) 9810 Original Reichluftschutz (Reichs Air Defense) Uniform- tunic, pants and hat - Deinstfrock (Service Uniform) for Luftschutzhauptfuhrer (Air Defense Chief Leader or Captain. sometimes noted as Hauptluftschutzfuhrer). The Reichsluftschutzbund (National Air Defense League) had a rank structure and wore insignia similar to those of the Luftwaffe, and were engaged in a variety of missions ranging from aircraft spotting and Anti-aircraft firing to post-raid search and recovery operations. Members ranged from full time service to part time volunteers. Background color on the shoulder strap and collar tab is lilac, and the half wreath and two stars are for the rank of Captain. Uniform is overall excellent condition the exceptions being three or four tiny moth holes just below the fly area of the riding breech type pants, and one worn spot on the edge of the tunic (about 3/4" long even with the left breast pocket. One label has been removed, but label in the inside breast pocket remains with the owner's name (which I cannot read, but maybe you can in the photo). Two or three minor rips in the sweatband of the hat, and one of the attaching prongs on the hat's winged wreath insignia has broken off. All original uniform. Very handsome example $2,950.00 (View Picture) 3558JB238 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. $395.00 (View Picture) 2631JB63 3rd Reich Fleece lined great coat, Infantry Major with ribbon for Iron Cross 2nd class. Slightly unusual in that it has strap on sleeves rather than regulation French cuffs. Excellent, few moth nips, but very heavy. $225.00 (View Picture) SMA2103 WWII GERMAN HOLSTER FOR THE FN BROWNING HI POWER - The holster is marked under the flap with the German WW-II maker code `cgn` over `4` which was used by Joseph Poeschl’s Söhne Rohrbach (By). This company manufactured holsters for Browning HP pistols in 1941. On the inside of the flap, `H9878` is hand written in pencil. The holster is light brown in color and in good condition with good stitching. The leather is soft and supple, with no cracking. There is some light scuffing and some stains on the flap that do not detract much from the holsters appearance. Overall this is a nice original WWII HP holster that would really clean up nicely with a little TLC. $175.00 (View Picture)
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. SMA2092 WWII German Luger (P.08) Holster. - Holster is marked on back `A.FISCHER/BERLINC.2/1941`, with an Eagle over swastika in a circle and the number `25271. Condition is very good with intact stitching, ``lift out`` strap, buckle strap and belt loops. The leather is supple but it has light cracking on the flap. The stitching is all in good condition, it is black in color instead of the usual white. This is usually a sign that the holster has been polished with black shoe polish but the stitching is black on the inside of the holster to. Overall this is a nice original WWII Luger holster. Luger holsters at the last gunshow we attended were going for over $550, this holster is a bargain priced at less than half of that. $185.00 (View Picture) SMM2032 Ammo Pouch K98 German WWII & Short Strap - When issued all K98's were equipped with one or two ammunition pouches. Front line personnel were usually issued two of pouches while second line personnel were only issued one. Each pouch would hold thirty rounds of 7.92 mm ammunition, they were utilized through-out the war with minor manufacturing variations. 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) 13383 WW2 GERMAN K98K LEATHER BAYONET FROG - Fine to excellent condition black pebble grain leather with clean white stitching. Leather is flexible and not cracked or flaked. Used but not abused, an above average example. No markings that I could find. $59.00 (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
