mid to late war steel gray general issue buckle almost 100% condition with some light rubs to the surface... Check out the European guys asking $250 and $300!
original 80 year old vintage Field Gray Bevo EM Heer Cap EAGLE and cokarde Set, for overseas or M-43 caps.
Yes they were a few dollars, FIFTY or SIXTY years ago. (When a Ford Mustang was $1995. !)
Beautiful, private-purchase heer artillery senior NCO ( oberfeldwebel ) service tunic.
Fine grade field-gray premium gabardine wool construction with machine-embroidered breast eagle. Nice unteroffizier (NCO) braid running around the collar and shoulder straps.
Bevo woven artillery specialty badge sewn above the left sleeve cuff. Regimental unit number "23" on the shoulder straps. Tailor tag in the collar and in the pocket. Identified and dated.
Looks fantastic on a mannequin torso.
Exceptional condition. 1 tiny moth right on the right side of the waist area.
Some slight wear and age showing inside the tunic. some minor blemish to the lining from the missing integral buckle. (soldier often removed these useless "old fashioned idea" buckles as they came undone during wear and required unbuttoning the tunic and removing belt etc. just to re-buckle, and then ... yeah, again! Merde!
EXTREMELY RARE! Last photo is of a mint unit I found to show you.
WW2 German Selbstfahrlafetten-Zielfernrohr Sfl.Z.F. 1a/1 5x10 Gun Scope BOX, as used on various Assault Guns and Tank Destroyers! This SPECIFIC type was used on the JagdPzr. 38 "Hetzer", Sturmgeschutz StuG III/IV, JagdPzr. IV/70, and Sturmpanzer 43 "Brummbar"!
Easily restored to accept the optic Panzer sight! A great display item and useful for storing Relics in STYLE!
Having a magnification of 5x10?, this was the gunners main aiming scope. It featured an an aiming pattern consisting of 7 triangles laid in a horizontal row, each separated by 4 mils. Placing the target on the point of a triangle allowed the gunner to aim without obstructing his view of the target. The distances between triangles were used to lead moving targets. The triangle height and separation distances in mils were also used as an aid in estimating the range to a target. The sight was mounted to the left of the main gun with the head just protru
This is a super nice and scarce 6th SS Gebirgsjager Division Nord/Regiment 6 Reinhard Heydrich cuff title. The cuff title is for an NCO, is full length (47cm) and features silver flat wire trim on the upper and lower edge. The face of the cuff title has machine embroidered script, in silver gray cloth that reads Reinhard Heydrich. The reverse has a fully intact paper RZM tag. A fantastic example!
It is genuine and you can see the condition. A great value, and always in demand.
I have various sizes of complete original WW2 German combat helmet steel wartime liner frames, complete with the inner spring band.
$55 each while they last. Or you can buy the Chinese made fake junk everybody is selling, instead of these 80 year old frames I have.
I also have numerous Liner frames without the inner band for $30 each.
North Vietnamese Army Officer Belt and buckle
Original Bring Back from Cu-Chi tunnels area.
Lots of fakes and modern junk out there but comparatively few real ones like this!
This is exactly as removed from an original helmet.
In premium condition and nearly impossible to find (without buying it IN A HELMET!)
Wear and age are shown.
54/55 Early ALUMINUM Liner pictured sitting in a size 62 Helmet shell.
Nothing has been added or replaced. No cleaning or restoration was undertaken. That is up to the new owner.
Frame assembly is marked , leather is still attached with the original brads.
Chinstrap Hinges are intact.
This buckle was faked in Aluminum as early as 1984 as far as I can tell. About the same time the "Czech SS Aluminum EM" Buckles, started appearing in the displays of the European dealers at our USA Shows.
(Back when the first spools of "RZM LABELED" "SS Uniform Thread" Started appearing from those same European dealers.....
Almost every example I have had in hand since that time has been a fraudulent piece of junk. Sure they look pretty at first glance, but side by side with this genuine one I own they just do not compare.
So if you want to bargain hunt good luck. The nice aluminum copy sells for about 40-60 pounds Sterling if you can find one that the owner is not trying to pass of as an original.
If however you want to own a dead mint original, here it is.
I have perhaps 45-50 SS Singles, and none are "Trashed", or replicas.
Add to that about 60 various matched pairs of SS Officer, SS NCO, and SS EM.
You can stop searching acquire the genuine article.
Or of course you can buy some of those "really good price!" that every other collector somehow missed.
If you see something that is of interest, simply ask for pictures....
I have perhaps 40 various prints from this series at $25 per print.
A VERY RARE Poster print in color produced by the Nazis using field propaganda korps photographer's Photos taken in the front lines.. There are dozens of different prints in the series, They look great framed on the wall of your bunker!
Here are some very scarce items... The sleeve badge is uniform removed, and is a genuine original, unlike every other example I encountered in 55+ years! ............. $245
The Blue on white flak helper is also so rare (especially sill on the tunic piece) that you will not find a photo of ANY EXAMPLE easily. I have never even seen another. ....................... $275
Something few vets found interesting or brought back.
Africa was the first contact, and there was years ahead.
Lugging around a couple pounds, did not fit the program.
Grabbing up some insignia, a cool looking tan "ski cap", or a buckle (easily mailed home) was far more often done.
What the Arabs did not scavenge, our military piled up and burned.
This example was acquired from a footlocker and was stuffed full of useless European money, nicnaks, and coins.
Very rare late code and date marking. Red primer and very dark late paint very apparent on the steel parts.
One of the very few which was never burned up!
I seldom ever see one which isn't roasted in a campfire and most of the paint scorched off!
Steel is in excellent overall condition for a service used example, and where the handle latches the pan to the bottom of the pot, the strap guide popped off due to shoddy install ! (hey Heinrich, feed those slaves better and your mess kits won't have parts falling off of them in the field!)
No tricks or gimmicks, buy it or not, no drama. Look at the crap other people are selling. I looked at many ! Junk condition, , fakes and also stuff that is not WW2 German made and issued.
A Kampfmesser or battle knife. In excellent used condition. I bought this from a friend many years ago. He stated it was from his neighbor who was in the 4th US Infantry division, and was taken off body. Just what he said, I have no prrof if it was true or just more "Vet Story"

I have 5 or 6 of these in excellent condition, that I bought over the years because they were in such great condition and so cheap at the time. My choice $ 165. I will send pics to anyone willing to spend the money without hassling me over price.
Here is a very fine example of a Heer M-38 combat communications Overseas Cap from my own collection.
Not dead mint, but a real beauty.
Well marked and Dated, andretains the original machine applied yellow branch soutache V on the front.
This has very little signs of its age considering it survived WW2, Bugs, Kids, Women, and 75 years!
Let me know if there is anything you need to know.
Army dagger, manufactured by Eickhorn in great condition -Blade is in great shape with very light signs of its 70-80 years of age. No plating loss.
Eickhorn's Crossguard, has the best looking eagle of any HEER Army dagger in my estimation. -Fittings and scabbard are in very nice condition.
The Silver plated finish remains uncleaned , and shows very light wear from use.
Nice undamaged grip / handle no chips or cracks!
A nice well used example likely from a early or pre- war helmet.
Minor age, but not fragile or damaged.
Just moderate genuine age and use.
This would clean to full excellent, and lighten up in color, as there is lanolin on the surfaces.
It appears to be maker marked but my old eyes cannot make it out .
As far as I can determine, this is the sole decent original example of this weapon, currently available for purchase on the internet.
Vintage British Machette , J Kitchin Ltd, Sheffield, Commando Issue; J KITCHIN Ltd, SHEFFIELD No 2640 1952
Overall size 20" - the blade is 14 3/4" The Broad Arrow indicates this example was made for the War Department .
J Kitchin of Birmingham, specialised in war contract edged weapons. Used by the British Army, the U.S. and Australians, and issued them for jungle use, during the 1950's in the Korean War - The Mau Mau uprising in Kenya in 1952, the Malayan uprising from 1948 to 1960, and the war in Vietnam.
The Broad arrow proof is clear, 1952 is the date.
The impressed company information strike on this blade is typically not deep, in order not to damage the almost finished weapon. You can hardly see the J', a shallow 52 on the date impression means and can't make out the last digit.
5 Large rivets secure what appear to be Bakel
>Nice and RARE German Late War Cable Laying Packframe Reel.
a Simplified version , compared to the over complicated original technical marvel they started with. These are usually really beat up and missing most of their paint, and with the leather being in bad shape. This is by far the best one I ever saw, so I had it in my combat communications equipment collection for the last 30+ years.
I cannot find a single example ANYWHERE to compare prices, they simply are not available in the market. I searched in English and in German!So I will take $375, which is far less than I believe it is worth. This is Museum stuff, not common canteens and bread bags!
WW2 Army Air corps Pilots Summer Flying gear. Here is a Veteran Estate set up from a 345th BG (Air Apaches) B-25 Pilot's estate. set up including rare summer long billed flying cap with Polaroid style goggles/sunglasses built right into the visor. All is in Excellent war used condition and a rare chance to add an entire pilots head to your trophy wall. Does not include the mannequin head, just the war relics!
A rare type. This M-35 double decal was brought in and serviced for wartime use after France. It received a thick matte field grey repaint and the national colors shield was also separately carefully concealed at a later time.
Just a couple very minor chips to the eagle decal, which rates about 97% condition.
The shell size is a 60 and the chinstrap is well marked. The liner is also in almost mint condition.
An exceptional example of this type.
You will wait years to find another in this condition, with all the features undamaged.
Very early era Luftwaffe regulation piped Shiffen Cap for Luft. Pioneer. In near new/mint condition.
Most collectors will not see another piped "first years" cap like this again. They are that rare.
A mint Bullion Wire Officer Heer, Kriegsmarine, or Luftwaffe cap rosette. These new old stock items still in unopened packaging were discovered in German by Major Atwood and I purchased a few packets of them directly from him. These are rare as hens teeth and once they are gone they will be sold for far more! ...You think a bullion eagle is hard to find? How many have you seen since you saw a bullion rosette for sale?
Very seldom can you locate one of these truly rare eagles.
Priced $60 under market so You can afford the shipping!
Norwegian Nasjonal Samling Party
The Norwegian Nazi party was founded by Vidkun Quisling in May 1933. This political movement was called the "Nasjonal Samling" (National Unity). By February 1942 Hitler appointed Quisling as Minister President of Norway, however, it was Reichskommissar Terboven who had the real power especially since Norway was an occupied country.
This example recently sold for $360 USD (Including auction fee)

A perfect example of the Freiwillige or Volunteer Legion Buckle. I am of the opinion that these are NOT penal battalion buckles as has been so long thought. I have seen photos of these on foreign troops of the Wehrmacht. This is NEAR mint condition.
I have dropped the price from $150 to move it out!
Original Late 1950's Japanese (I assume) Made Grayback Class Submarine Crew Patch.
NOT A REPLICA.
USS Grayback (SSG-574)
The USS Grayback (SS/SSG/APSS/LPSS-574), the lead ship of her class of submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the grayback, a small herring of great commercial importance in the Great Lakes. Her keel was laid down on 1 July 1954 by the Mare Island Naval Shipyard of Vallejo, California. She was launched on 2 July 1957 sponsored by Mrs. John A. Moore, widow of the last skipper of the WW2 USS Grayback (SS-208) and commissioned at Mare Island on 7 March 1958 with Lieutenant Commander Hugh G. Nott in command. Grayback was initially designated as an attack submarine, but was converted to a Regulus guided missile submarine (SSG-574) in 1958.
These submarines carried the primitive short-lived Regulus cruise missiles that were quickly phased out by Polaris SLBMs. They were the sole class designed specifically to carry the Regulus mis
A Pair of Wehrmacht Ankle Gaiters. These are marked on the leather. They show some storage and and rust to the metal. Eagle Arms found a whole box of these 20 years ago and I got to pick out the best about 15 pairs. They are really hard to find. The leather straps on some are fragile or stiff. Fine examples for display with your field gear!
The pictures are an example of the sets I have. I have 4 matched sets all found together. The set you receive will be whichever pair is on the top of the stack when you order them.

Mint Heer Jaeger M-42, M-43, Bergmutze Metal Leaves Insignia... All prons intact, and dead mint condition.
Rare pattern with edge prongs...sometimes mistakenly called late war... these are very rare jager insignias indeed.
Dished buttons for Heer und Luftwaffe. These are the same as used on many pieces of field gear and uniforms. Shirts, trouser pockets, sleeves of parkas, the Herman Meyer cap etc. $3.50 each.
An Eagle Order with Swords Silver Medal , One of the most appealing medals from Germany in WW2. These sell for up to $600 in minty condition at times.
A small proportion of these are wartime awards with SWORDS, and even fewer of those survived in this beautiful condition.
Original German WWII Luftwaffe Paratrooper Gravity Knife, Weyersberg,
If mint these sell for $1250. and up.
Brought Home By A U.S. Army Veteran, who took it as a prize during July 1944.
A Rare German Paratrooper Knife! This excellent example was produced by Paul Weyersberg, one of the major producers of this knife during WWII.
Un-modified 4 inch long blade, is in great condition and has clear maker's marking, as does the spike.
The blade release button allows the blade's tip to slide out slightly due to age and use.
(Likely was this way when captured, as the vet who sold it to me in 1978 had no family, and one leg)).
These were a prewar design, just for cutting through parachute shroud lines, so long term durability was not of a major concern.
The blade still fully releases with gravity, but I am not playing like a little boy, and have always respected keeping it intact.
The marlin spike works fine. All the springs are intact.
This knife is in excellent condition, It
In general, the manufacturers of visor caps seldom installed maker matching sets of metal cap insignia.
These have been selected from examples found decades in the past, and may or may not have been from the same cap originally. Cap makers generally ordered more of either without being concerned they were matching makers. That is a "collector fetish"
They are all paired up with very similar cosmetic appearance.
All retain their original prongs, and offer a rare opportunity to restore an original cap properly, or to have a proper "set" in among their insignia.
I also have 22 other various original eagles, and a few loose skulls.
I also have a few items missing one or more prongs. ALL of mine are in very presentable visual condition.
I do not own and "Dug Up" crap
This is not a fire sale or the dumping of these expensive, in demand original SS Insignia.
If bargain hunting is your game, please dribble on down the court and score elsewhere.

My crisp clear photos show everything clearly.
This is my original WW2 nazi M-35 single decal helmet.
This helmet has some minor light surface wear and normal uncleaned patina intact. No dents or notable damage.
The original leather chin strap is intact and attached.
The decal is very nice deep gold toned color and nearly 95% intact, which is rare for KM combat Helmets.

Very nice leather liner on the interior.
All guaranteed original and authentic from WW2. A very rare and excellent collectible helmet.

The SE company made very few KM helmets.
The Navy was the smallest service, and had and had a service demand for very few helmets at all !

"Honor Chevron for the Old Guard" Introduced in Feb 1934, and phased out already by September 1934!
Only issued or worn at all for a mere SEVEN MONTHS !
The SA Ehrenwinkel, introduced in February 1934, lay on a light brown background. It consisted of an interwoven gold-colored aluminum counter, which had two red dividing strips, about 1 cm wide. The Ehrenwinkel was awarded to all members of the SA who had joined the NSDAP before 30 January 1933 and thus had a membership number of up to 300,000. The rank was irrelevant and so this angle was worn equally by both crew and officer ranks.
In September 1934 this style of honor chevron, was replaced by the new system of a single type of Standardized "honor chevron". These indicated early membership for various organizations.
They replaced a large number of various stripes of different types which were previously worn on both forearms over the cuff of the uniform jacket.
Carefully made, complicated hand made doll for a sailor's daughter.
Very detailed down to a "dogtag" and hand embroidered blue eyes, and bright red hair.
Wearing a detailed USN Blue Uniform and Cap, both with insignia.
This 80 year old doll is a true piece of vintage American Folk Art.
A very fine example retaining almost all its original black finish and it has unstained white stitching intact.
It was was war time repaired in the typical in the field manner. This does not detract from the desirability at all because it is obviously a combat captured artifact. Waffenampted, and coded 1943 maker.
WWII Nazi German SS 8 year service award.
SS-Dienstauszeichnung 3. Stufe for 8 Jahre . The 8 Year SS Long Service (4th Class) was awarded to EMs and NCOs for 8 years of good standing service.
Die struck bronze alloy construction third class award, with a near mint condition bronze wash. It features a raised outer lip with central embossed SS runes encircled by an embossed oak-leaf wreath, superimposed over a large embossed static swastika. This, on a subtly textured background field to the obverse.
The reverse has the embossed block Latin script with SS runes "F?r Treue Dienste in der SS", (For Loyal Service in the SS) superimposed over a large numeral "8" also on a subtly textured background field.
The medal ring and the suspension loop are both intact. This is known as the 'Deschler & Sohn' version, easily identifiable by the beveled jump ring.
A very Scarce SS Medal in superb condition overall.
On January 30TH 1938, Adolf Hitler introduced a series of four long service
SS-Dienstauszeichnung 4. Stufe for 4 Jahre . The 4 Year SS Long Service (4th Class) was awarded to EMs and NCOs for 4 years of good standing service.
A typical Deschler & Sons, Munich manufacture. A great piece missing from most collections!
It is constructed of a die struck bronze base that has been chemically blackened. The round shaped obverse features two centrally placed SS runes that are surrounded by an oak leaf and acorn wreath that is tied together at the bottom and all lies on a pebbled background. The reverse reads: Fur Treue Dienste in der SS (For Loyal Service in the SS) and is in front of a 4 on a pebbled field. The top features the proper loop and tear drop suspension ring. This example has a full undamaged blue rayon suspension ribbon. A great piece missing from most collections!

original 80 year old vintage Field Gray Bevo trapezoid Heer Cap EAGLE and cokarde insignia.
For overseas or M-43 caps.
Yes they were a few dollars, FIFTY or SIXTY years ago. (When a Ford Mustang was $1995. !)
Heavy, Luftwaffe blue/grey wool construction, double breasted style, full length.
Mine is $500,
The Collector's Guild wants $250 M O R E (Later war) , and $350 MORE, for similar with NO SHOULDER STRAPS!

Nice markings.
Original owners name tag is still present.
Nice lightly war used condition, minor signs of light age , no major damages.
A seldom available coat, due to the need for well made warm clothing. in devastated Europe during the 3 cold winters after the war.
Here is a fine undamaged example that came right out of a 10th US Mountain Infantry Division footlocker I tripped over at a yard sale about a decade ago.
Medium size of around 57 though not inked.
This Late War Dark Brown variant is very rare. $785.00
Note the earlier pattern is identical in weave to the more common (but still quite rare) Tan pattern.
These items are nothing like most police stuff, this HEER formation, was a very tiny section in my 55 years of collecting 3rd Reich Combat.
Like the SS, they disposed of anything that would identify them as army police security troops.
Despised by every soldier who ever saw another comrade strung up without trial, and a cardboard sign around the neck reading "I am a coward and a traitor".
They all became a potential target for every armed soldier when chaos set in, and anything could happen at any time. No doubt many were executed on the spot when found among soldiers.
Cloth Insignia from these Heer troops, is far scarcer than the Field Police Gorget.
Feel free to search for other pieces (which are both original and in perfect condition), if you feel like there is a chance to save a buck.
I sure could not find
Luftwaffe Enlisted Early War MANTEL Overcoat. This one has great markings, and is in very good condition with light signs of actual use.
It does have some minor insect damage which is why it is not expensive at all.
There is enough great condition Original 80 Year old wool and lining in one of these to make a pile of hats and caps (to say nothing about shoulder straps and other things. This is why there are almost none for sale anymore. They mostly made the nice fakes of the late 1970's onward out of garments such as this ! ! Imagine what it would cost today to have one made! If you don't buy it , maybe some cap maker will!

Japanese Military Saki Cup I got an entire USMC Sgt's Estate from his son. He had a lot of items including this saki cup. very pretty piece of Japanese art.
Heer is a rare survivor. He probably achieved NCO after the fall of France when the Germans lost about 40,000. The replacements and build up of armed forces numbers started to accelerate rapidly and within a few months the Dark green collar and scalloped and pleated pockets, were dropped for faster more economical versions as the uniforms became simpler and less attractive.
This is from the era of the smaller mostly German Heer. Still carries the same colorful early war insignias and is a wonderful example showing very light age and a few tiny insect bites.
Sets, original and in excellent to near new condition.
You will someday have a need, and you will check back and.... will they be here to buy?
Contact for information if you are serious.
NOT $15 each!
I bought original packets containing 10 each of these still wrapped in the brown tissue, which Jim Atwood had found back in the 1950's when he, Snyder and the rest were digging around and finding stashes of left over original wartime stuff.
I hear all these tales about those old guys, but I never bought a thing from any of them which was crap. They had good stuff, and I guess sometimes bad stuff too, but all anybody had to do was learn what was real, and not buy stuff they did not know about!
I still have most of these, because most guys think if something is small it should be dirt cheap.
Funny how some $800 or $1000 cap that is missing this insignia is worth a lot less when it is gone!
This collection, if even similar to this Condition, would cost art least $1000 - $1250 to assemble (Plus fees and shipping, or any other costs, and those many hours, driving, admissions, searching,correspondence etc.
Those are VERY REAL actual COSTS to be seriously considered.)
I did a lot of research time, and tried very hard to come up with a very fair price.
A good value, which also saves a guy a ton of time and effort!
I collected coins with my dad, starting when I was 11, in 1961. I started being interested in WW2 in1964.

In fact the majority available everywhere even now, seem to be in 50% condition.
Even worse for the Zinc 'War Time' issues of all denominations, and the scarcer aluminum alloy ones.
The Silver ones currently available for purchase on the coin sites, are not much better!
89.6 % SILVER.

You will need to research the exact model weapon sight, I forgot. These were in a huge vet's German souvenirs haul maybe 35 years ago. Probably missing from every unit you might find!
SS Bevo Ranks are way rarer than other bevo SS Tabs. Barely any of these rank tabs were interesting to Veterans. They wanted the lightning bolts and skulls, and just look at how rare and sought after those are!
Later pattern Map case in mint condition. You might pay less, but this quality will always resell when you need to. Crap will sit unsold, and often you will have a loss when trying to resell junk you bought cheap.
OK First the technical stuff. and later the story.
First examine all the edges front and rear. Perfectly sheared all around to an even thin wall.
This being an arched award, that precision was never present on any early replicas. (things cost dollars, not thousands, back then. A set of hand carved stamping dies cost? They would have had to manufacture thousands just to break even on die cost alone, at those prices, and good luck finding another example today.
Second actually examine the appearance front and back. NOT GOOFY like what is floating around.
The zinc oxide is not yet any issue, just tiny surface specks. A q-tip and light oil will erase in and protect the surface for years.
Today's new collectors are too poorly informed and not considering factors other than appearance, and the opinions of internet gurus on forums.
Trusting the opinions of total strangers to influence your investing seems outright stupid to me, but just wait long enough and a book with some dire

Three nice ones in 50 years and hardly another example observed.
There were few punishment battalions in the German military.
These are NOT "Eagle ground off" for post war use! No eagle ever!
Early war Aluminum by Friedrich Lauer, Wartime steel Pebbled center, and wartime steel smooth. ALL Three from different dies!
Some of the rarest buckles from WW Germany and even the buckle collectors cannot appreciate what they are because no "Cool eagle and swasisticker of them Nazis"
Collectors are confused by the mis-identification of the generic steel "Brain" industry workers buckle with no Motto, wreath or national symbol, as being for these probationary service personnel .
These are the buckle made with no National Emblem but retaining the Heer Motto, worn until reinstatement of membership in the ranks, by Military Prisoners serving sentences .
ALL CORRECT FROM VET... WW1 Officer's Estate find... 1919 3rd Infantry Division Newspaper from France... Read it first hand! Remember it was WW1 ! It is incredibly rare to find anything like these newsprint Divisional newspapers printed in Europe, and has been for many years! No swazstickers or SS runes, just real rare antiques, stored for 100+ years! With history and name. This could be the last surviving copy, it was just a divisional paper in a foreign land, Likely no more than 10,000 if that many, and WHO saves an old newspaper? Think about it, if it was a copper penny and only 10.000 made, could you buy it for $49? C'mon! You cannot go wrong buying quality and great condition. All long term collectors have seen the huge increases in prices that the best examples of militaria have enjoyed over the last few decades. Even large lots coming into markets has not dimmed investment values due to the ever increasing demand for what few fine items still exist in a market
A real nice example in well preserved condition.
exact priority mail cost for USA shipping.

They usually sell up to $250 in this condition.
Often seen in original photographs but rarely found in this condition!
For a change here you have one NOT DUG out of the earth!
