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) 20594 WWII German Aircraft Recognition Flag- Capture date and location marked! - This is a medium-sized 39 by 46 inch two-piece cotton panzer tank turret aerial ID flag with a 30 inch central disk used to identify a unit on the ground to aircraft above. It is one-sided and has tie down grommets on all four corners. Condition is excellent with period marking “Marburg, Germany, 30 March 1945” neatly inked on the back hem. This was made with the design only on one side as it was intended to be tied down over vehicles or ground positions to allow German aircraft to avoid friendly fire situations. (They probably decided to pull these off when Allied aircraft were in the area!) The U.S. First Army took the city of Marburg on March 28, 1945, three weeks after the first troops crossed the Rhine at the Remagen bridge. No further identification of the individuals or unit involved in the capture, but at least it has a place and date which is more than is known about the history of 99% of all souvenirs. This would also make a great backdrop for a display of WW2 German militaria items. $395.00 (View Picture) 5178 WW2 GERMAN SMALL ARMS MANUAL - Scheissvorschrift fur Gewehr (Karabiner), liechtes Maschinengewehr, Pistole.

20381 WW1 GERMAN (Prussian) 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class with ribbon - The Eiserne Kreuz (Iron Cross - often abbreviated EK or IC) was originally instituted on 10 March 1813 by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III and was re-introduced by Kaiser Wilhelm II (acting as the King of Prussia) in 1914. It was awarded for bravery in the field - without regard to rank or status. The obverse had the Imperial Prussian Crown at the 12:00 high position, a W central (for Kaiser Wilhelm II) and the date 1914 at the 6:00 low position. The reverse had the King's crown with FW below followed with a 3 leaf spray of oak leaves and the date 1813 below that. The Cross was worn looped through a buttonhole on the jacket (typically the buttonhole closest to the heart) or worn on the left breast close to the heart. If awarded to a Prussian recipient, it took precedence over other medals worn on a medal bar. If the recipient was not Prussian, then that state or country rules were followed. Condition is as shown in the photos. Ribbon is a bit tired, but not too bad. $75.00 (View Picture) 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)
SMA2410 Stock - German/Czech G33/44 Rifle. - We have located a rare original stock for the G33/40. So if you`ve had a barreled action sitting in a closet now you can complete your rifle. 19576 WWII German M1930(?) Luftschutz Gas Mask and metal carrying canister - Drager was (and still is) a leader maker of chemical masks and related items. This is (probably) one of the several variations of the Model 1930 Gas Mask adopted by the Germans. Some were for military issue, and others, like this, were for the quasi-military Luftschutz personnel. Overall good-very good condition with good markings as shown in the photos. Canister has all the straps and most of the original paint. No waffenamts or RZm marks noted, but we did not unroll the mask to look as it is a pain to get it stuffed back into the canister once opened. There are people who collect gas masks and in researching this we noted that there are an unbelievable variety of gas masks out there, so it might be a varied, and inexpensive field to specialize in. $125.00 (View Picture) 19622 German WWII MG 34 Spare Barrel Carrier with Sling- Laufschutzer with spare MG34 barrel - Only one available. One end of the carrier bears WW2 German maker code 963 and 1940 date. Waffenamt not visible, but may be under the several coats of paint. Overall in very good condition. Barrel is the standard WW2 German manufacture MG34 8mm barrel in good to very good condition with some original bluing still intact. Bore is good or better, but irrelevant to most people. Barrel has multiple German WW2 proofs and markings. No longer importable to the USA, these simply won’t be readily available in the near future, so get yours today. $350.00 (View Picture) SMA2336 Magazine P.38 Pistol - - This is a modern production magazine for P.38 and P.1 pistols. Quality and condition are excellent. $35.00 (View Picture) SMA2372 Magazine Cz 27 - Excellent condition with the correct wartime CZ markings on the bottom. These are hard to find. $65.00 (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) 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) SORRY- None right now. Please check again. SMA2427 Excellent Early Brown WWII German P.08 (Luger) Holster Dated 1938. - Holster is stamped on back with the German WW-II Heerswaffenamt inspector's mark eagle over ``WaA523``, the year of manufacture (1938) and the manufacturers name (A.FIACHER/GUTTSTADT). The pleasing dark brown finish of the holster would rate about 90 - 95% with some wear on the flap. The flap has a small hole in one corner. The stitching is still white, this indicates that the holster is in original condition and has not been ``touched up`` or polished with shoe polish. The leather including the flap and buckle strap is supple and in good condition. Overall a very nice holster, complete and in original condition. Early Nazi period holsters like this with brown instead of black finish are extremely hard to find. $350.00 (View Picture) 20380 WW2 GERMAN LEATHER TRIPLE POCKET RIFLE AMMO POUCH- USED - German infantrymen were issued a pair of these with two stripper clips of five rounds each inserted in each pocket in the pouch, for a total of 60 rounds (while US troops carried 100 rounds in their M1923 belts in 5 round clips, or 80 rounds for the M1 Garand). Every Mauser or WW2 collector needs a pair of these to display with German rifles. This pouch is used, fine to excellent condition, with 1939 date and maker markings. This was made in brown leather and then later dyed black. $35.00 (View Picture) 20320 WW2 GERMAN LEATHER TRIPLE POCKET RIFLE AMMO POUCH- MINT! - German infantrymen were issued a pair of these with two stripper clips of five rounds each inserted in each pocket in the pouch, for a total of 60 rounds (while US troops carried 100 rounds in their M1923 belts in 5 round clips, or 80 rounds for the M1 Garand). Every Mauser or WW2 collector needs a pair of these to display with German rifles. This pouch is just about mint unissued, among the nicest we have ever had. $70.00 (View Picture) **SOLD** 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) **HOLD** 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 Return to Collectors Headquarters.
19626 WW2 GERMAN MODEL 1940 STEEL HELMET WITH ORIGNAL LINER & CHIN STRAP - Liner is size 57 and the shell is size 64. This looks like it has original dark green/gray paint job, but someone added a fake SS decal which could be steamed off to make it more historically correct. Paint is chipped and worn, especially around the sharp lower edge which is rusty now. Liner is in good condition and the chin strap is also in good condition. $225.00 (View Picture)
