This is an attractive - and actually rarely encountered! - example of a silver-coloured- and/or alumnium-based, WH (Luftwaffe-) ie. 'Fallschirmjäger'-related ID-disc (ie. 'Erkennungsmarke') that came mounted onto its period (black-coloured) cord and that that is bearing the clearly stamped- (and/or: 'coded') unit-designation (aka: 'MOB-liste-Nummerierung') that reads: '63125' (and as such belonging to a paratrooper-soldier (or NCO ie. officer) who served within the: '1./Fsch.Jg.Rgt.1 “Stendal”) (or: first company of the 'Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 1', based in the town of Stendal). The disc comes in an overall very nice (albeit clearly used ie. worn-), condition (and is executed in an attractive letter-type!) and shows the clear evidence of having been used ie. worn (see pictures). The disc shows the bearers'-blood-group-type (Type 0) (something that was more often but not always seen on these 'coded' ID-discs and shows a clearly stamped bearers-numeral that reads: '1220'). Moreover, does it show a stamped capital 'T'-character (for which I could not find an explanation). The disc was never cleaned nor polished (it is still a bit stained and/or dirty). The disc originates from a private household where it was recently uncovered. The back shows a 'scratched-out' name or alike. Simply a very attractive and honest 'coded' WH (Luftwaffe-) ie. 'Fallschirmjäger'-related ID-disc that is IMO priced according to its unmistaken rarity and/or desirability!

This is a truly very attractive - and IMO only minimally used- and/or worn - example of an Iron Cross 2nd class (or: 'Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse') that comes period-mounted as a so-called: 'Einzelspange' (or: single-pieced medal-bar) and that comes in an overall very nice (albeit issued- and IMO only minimally worn-), condition. The cross was most certainly issued and/or worn as such and was most certainly never cleaned nor polished. It has a beautiful age-patina and black-coloured- and somewhat 'shiny'- ie. satin-like 'core' (which shows no paint-damage whatsoever and which retains a nicely ie. fully preserved, satin-like black-coloured surface as can be seen on the pictures). I could not determine if the cross is a maker-marked-example: the ring is firmly hidden under the neatly confectioned ribbon: the cross is, however, a typical example of the 'standard-IC-pattern'-design that was used by companies such as: 'Steinhauer & Lück' based in Lüdenscheid. The cross just shows some minimal dirt and/or dust acquired over the years: the (bright-red-coloured!) ribbon shows some equal minor usage and/or staining. The cross has great detail and was never polished: it retains, moreover, a vast part of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or polished sides) as can be seen on the pictures. The cross ie. 'Spange' has truly very nice detail and is neatly 'backed' with a piece of bluish-grey-coloured wool as is more often encountered and comes mounted on its (still functional) pin-/catch set-up. Hard to find a more attractive IC 2nd class as was period-mounted as an: 'Einzelspange'!

This is an attractive - and actually rarely encountered! - example of a greyish-coloured- and/or zinc-based, WH (Luftwaffe-) ie. 'Flieger'-related ID-disc (ie. 'Erkennungsmarke') that is bearing the clearly stamped- (and/or: 'coded') unit-designation (aka: 'MOB-liste-Nummerierung') that reads: '60317' (and as such belonging to a pilot (ie. 'Flieger'- ie. NCO ie. officer) who served within the: 'Stab' of the: 'Jagdgeschwader 51 “Mölders”). The disc comes in an overall very nice (albeit clearly used ie. worn-), condition (and is executed in an attractive letter-type!) and shows the clear evidence of having been used ie. worn (see pictures). The disc is void of the bearers'-blood-group-type (something that was more often seen on these 'coded' ID-discs but shows a clearly stamped (low!) bearers-numeral that reads: '22'). The disc originates from a private household where it was recently uncovered. Simply a very attractive and honest 'coded' WH (Luftwaffe-) ie. 'Flieger'-related ID-disc that belonged to a member of a well known 'Jagdgeschwader' and that is IMO priced according to its unmistaken rarity and/or desirability!

This is an attractive - and truly detailed! - silver-toned- and/or (IMO) 'Buntmetall'-based- and early-pattern- and IMO political-style visor- (ie. 'Schirmmützen'-) cap-eagle being an unmarked example that comes in a moderately used- ie. carefully cap-removed, condition. These eagles were intended for usage on the various (early-pattern) visor-caps (ie. 'Schirmmützen') of one of the national-socialistic- (ie. party related-) organisations (such as SA- and/or SS). The eagle has truly great pronounced detail and retains both its (IMO copper-based) pins ie. prongs (which were IMO once bent but which are of course still fully functional). The tiny piece - which is right-facing and that is having an approximate wing-span of 3,7 cms. - has most certainly never been cleaned nor polished and has a somewhat tarnished 'age-patina' (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very attractive and detailed 'early-pattern' visor-cap-eagle: hard to upgrade this example!

This is a truly very attractive - and IMO issued albeit never worn nor once tunic-attached - example of the 'BeVo'-like cuff-title (or: 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrikakorps', as was executed in so-called: 'flat-wire'-type, silver-coloured braid, interwoven on a rust-brown- (ie. darker-green-) coloured background and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. never worn- and/or: 'virtually mint'-), condition. The piece is as stated above never shortened and measures approximately 45 cms. in length. As usual are both ends 'unfinished' and do show some normal ie. minimal fraying as to be expected. This example was stored as such for years by the veteran to whom it was issued. As most certainly known are these 'Afrikakorps'-cuff-titles copied at a large scale: this is naturally a 100% original item that shows the various details as such (see pictures). The piece was never cleaned and shows some mininal age and/or staining simply caused by decades of storage only: it was never in a collection before and came as such from a private household. Simply a superb and never worn example of this desirable 'BeVo'-like 'Afrikakorps'-cuff-title!

The attractive piece - which was IMO surely issued and/or worn - came together with its pre-folded and/or minimally confectioned (and approx. 29 cms. long-sized-) truly orange-red-coloured ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt'). The cross - which is void of a makers'-signification as more often - was with certainty never cleaned and has a nice and/or attractive age-patina: it has also lost most of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has a minimally 'darkened' finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross has a nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'satin-like'-) core: it is truly void of any real damage or alike: it just shows some minimal 'hair-cracks' on the right side (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained but was never cleaned nor polished. The cross - which has all the specifications of a by the 'C.E. Junckers'-company produced IC - has very nice and/or pronounced detail as to be expected for a piece by this maker. This example was recently found at a German private household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive 'EK II. Klasse' by the 'C.E. Junckers'-company: IMO did I price this with certainty desirable piece accordingly!

This is a neat (and IMO mid- ie. later-war-period-), 'standard-issued'-pattern-, black-coloured- and/or genuine leather-based WH steel-helmet-strap (ie. 'Riemen für Stahlhelm') being a never helmet-mounted- (and/or 'virtually mint- ie. unissued') example that bears an impressed 'RbN.'-stamp (that reads: '0/0750/0100'). The strap shows some moderate (storage)age ie. staining but is naturally still fully functional and/or souple: it bears an impressed 'RbN.'-stamp that clearly reads: '0/0750/0100' and comes mounted with its period pair of (IMO steel-based- and/or minimally stained-) studs in place. Simply a neat and nowadays actually unusually encountered WH-equipment-item that can easily be graded 'scarce' and that is ideally fitted to complete any German steel-helmet

The neat pair was with certainty used as such and comes in a clearly worn- ie. moderately used condition: the pair - as well as the greyish-blue-coloured container - shows the text: 'Masken-Brille' on its top and shows some regular usage-marks but is of course still fully functional (as can be seen on the pictures). It came complete with its metal-rimmed pair of glasses (that still shows its firmly attached linnen-based cords): next to this it also comes with a set of spare cords and blue-coloured (explanatory) inlay. The paper-based personal-details 'inlay' is also present but somewhat stained (and shows a filled-in name that reads: 'Vinzenz …..'). These interesting WH-'Masken-Brillen' were specifically constructed in order to be worn in conjunction with the WH-gasmasks and saw wide-spread usage throughout the war. Simply an attractive and/or fully complete example: great to add to any WH-equipment set-up!

This is an unusal item that originated from a German soldier and that was recently found during a house-clearance: a certainly Russian WWII-period, aluminium-based tobacco(?) tin ie. box (showing a crudely engraved text, communist-type 'star' and/or date: '2-09-1944' and that comes in an overall nice (and IMO clearly used- ie. worn-), condition. The aluminium-based 'box' (which might be a privately produced piece) measures: 10 x 8 x 2,5 cms. and has a 'folding' (and still functional) top ie. lid (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece shows some moderate age, wear and/ or staining as to be expected. Nevertheless a neat and unusual 'German'-acquired 'souvenir' that most certainly originated from the Russian campaign!
