Standard German army field lantern. This example is made of Bakelite and
operates either as a "Karbid" carbide, or a candle lantern. Its an easy
conversion from one to the other. The candle attachments are quite rare and
desirable. On the back of the carbide part of the lamp is the waffenamnpt
stamp. It is missing the water tank and burner but its much rarer in its set up as
a candle lamp.
£65
Tent pegs made of Bakelite, each one is maker and date stamped. They were
recovered from the German tunnels here in Jersey, Channel Islands quite a few
years ago. I have a small quantity of them and they vary in condition, but there
are no real nasty examples amongst them. They go in bundles of 5 at a time.
£20
German army bicycle pump, in its original black paint finish. The pump is in
excellent condition as well as working order. If you have a German army bicycle
then you really do need to get hold of this piece of kit.
£30
German army hand generator torch. These torch's were made under license by
Philips of Holland for the Germans. This one is in superb condition as well as
working order.
£40
Hand held field siren. Bakelite and metal construction, most field units would have
been issued with one of these. This one has much of its original paint finish in
place and is waffenamnpt on the back of the support strut. Crank her up and she
screams although a clean and oil would definitely help, as I think the years of dust
and dirt have dampened the effect. It even comes with the rare canvas protective
cover which is also nicely stamped. A very nice and unusual piece of kit.
£275
Metal case for the head wound gas mask. This tin is in very nice condition with
an extremely good waffenamnpt stamp on the inside of the lid.
£50
Anti gas over trousers, these a super rare piece of kit. They are usually
encountered in a mid grey finish but the camo finish is highly unusual. See
Camouflage Uniforms of the German Wehrmacht by Palinckx page 262 for more
info.
I have only ever found 3 or 4 sets of this anti gas clothing, and only this one set
in camo. It is in perfect condition and is 3 letter coded.
I have never seen the boots or hood to go with this set of over trousers.
