0711so1 - Aluminum Army Paratroop Badge (Fallschirmschutzen - Abzeichen des Heeres). This
extremely rare badge (aluminum version) features the stylized diving Heer eagle. The Heer
maintained a separate Fallschirminfantrie kompanie and later regiment until January 1, 1938
at which time it was incorporated into the Luftwaffe. Fallschirmjager who worn this badge
after this date had previously been awarded the army version and allowed to wear the
badge. This makes the early aluminum version very rare being that its production was
discontinued after tombak became the primary material of construction prior to the
outbreak of war. This badge shows use and has wear to the finish. There is a period
repaired catch that protrudes through the wreath. This is a textbook example and
will make a great centerpiece for anyone who collects badges, Luftwaffe, Heer or
Fallschirmjager. $. More Photos

Wittman writes an entire page in his Exploring the Dress Daggers and Swords of the
SS. Please read page 121 of this "bible" for peace of mind. This is no parts
dagger. The Upper and middle scabbard fitting are the plated steel and the lower
is nickel. The center scabbard fitting is secured by a single screw - this is
identical to the one pictured in Wittman's book on page 131. All scabbard screws
are "un-turned". This too is commonly seen in the mid-production M-36's. The
Scabbard retains much of its original lacquer over the anodized finish. There
is no rusr. The chain is near perfect except that one link does have minor
oxidation to it. Apparently at some point this link was exposed to moisture
and the plating just wasn't up to the challenge. The obverse displays quite
well. The reverse of the proof stamped link shows more oxidation than the
obverse side (sorry but that's the way it is).There is also minor oxidation
on the clip as shown in the photo. Fortunately these areas are not on the
front so the dagger will display well. The cut -out cloverleaf shows the
DRGM mark as Type I's demonstrate Here's the really great part - the blade
is practically stone mint with fantastic crossgraining. This is one of
the nicest SS blades I've ever owned. The motto is deeply etched with
great burnishing. There is no maker's mark as you would expect on factory
produced M-36's. Great piece. More Pictures SOLD |

- Heer Panzer officer's visor hat. Usually I buy on condition and authenticity.
I seldom acquire "salty" pieces but this hat talked to me. I can easily imagine
this hat being worn by an officer climbing into his cupola and heading off to
destroy a T-34 or six. This early 1935-1936 period hat features unmothed, pink
piping. The bullion wreath has a metal cockade. The chincords set well on the
capband. The hat is without the internal spring and has a "jaunty", crusher
appearance. The inside of this hat is missing the diamond but the maker stamp
is "Erstklassig". There is a fair amount of wear. There are a number of
separations in the artificial silk lining most caused by age and wear. However,
this is not readily apparent. It is mostly in the "folds". The underside of the
visor tells the true story of how much this hat was on-and-off. It shows
authentic wear from the officer removing it and replacing it probably inside
an armor vehicle. The leather sweatband is joined by a bow and is complete and
unbroken. Great piece of panzer headgear and would display well on a mannequin
or headstand. More Photos SOLD |

the smallest size manufactured. Inside the band is the manufacturer's stamp
and the 1939 date. A very collectible piece of panzer headgear. More Photos SOLD |

- Heer Infantry officer's visor hat. This beautiful hat features a metallic
cockade with a bullion wreath. The eagle is nicely age toned. The white piping
is complete and free of mothing. The hat has a great shape to it. The visor
shows very minor age creasing. The interior is a combination of polished
cotton and rayon . The complete sweat diamond reads "Deutches Erzeugnis".
The underside of the sweatband reveals the original owner's name "Dittmer".
There are additional holes near the eagle, which indicates that the eagle
was probably off at one time. However, the fit is tight to the cap body.
Overall the hat shows light wear and displays well. It's getting harder
to find authentic hats in this condition. More Photos SOLD |

- Heer early NCO/enlisted visor hat. This mint hat features nicely frosted
early insignia showing excellent detail. The "teller" form hat has minor moth
damage at the rear bottom along the capband a couple of small nips below the
piping at the rear. This does not detract from the overall presentation of
the hat. There is no mothing or stains otherwise. The interior is lined with
a copper-orange cotton lining. The leather sweatband has a minor 1' tear at
the front. The celluloid sweat diamond is intact and the size "57" is stamped
under it. The maker Chr. Schweitzer… Koblenz is stamped under the leather
sweatband. Under the maker's stamp is the date 1935. There is another stamp
next to the maker stamp but it is illegible. There is another 1/2' tear in
the sweatband above the area of the maker's mark. The hat appears to never
have been worn. More Photos SOLD |

the black velvet band of cloth separating the capband from the
sweatband. The interior has a gray rayon lining that shows minor
wear. The sweatband is likewise gray leather that shows light
wear. The rhomboid sweat diamond is complete. Overall, this is
an excellent example with great shape and appearance. More Photos SOLD |

Luft. officer's visor
hat by Erel. Straight from the vet's family. This hat displays well. The exterior is in
overall excellent condition which is good to see considering these are getting harder to
find especially from the family of the vet. The hat features a vented cockade characteristic
of Erel's. The eagle displays excellent detail. There is no mothing or staining. The aluminum
piping is not frayed. The visor has normal age creasing. The chincord is tight to the hat's
band. The black mohair capband is complete and free of moth nips. The interior shows normal
wear. The Erel rhomboid sweat diamond is complete indicating that this hat is an "Extra".
I couldn't find a date stamp or size inside the sweatband but judging by the high cockade and
construction, this is an earlier piece. The hat size I would guess is a 55 by the way it
displays on a headstand. This hat displays well and would look great on a mannequin. More Photos SOLD |

Luft. officer's
visor hat by Clemens Wagner - named to the officer. I picked this hat up at the recent MAX.
This Clemens Wagner is a great example of one of Germany's premier hat makers (my opinion).
Clemens Wagner supplied "soft caps" to the armed forces including the SS. The CW stamped into
the leather sweatband indicates the maker. The exterior of this hat is free of mothing and
stains. This hat displays well (understatement). The interior shows normal wear . The rhomboid
sweat diamond is silver foil stamped under the celluloid "Verkaufsabteilung…". Part of the
celluloid is missing. The officer's name is typed on a paper insert tag - Karl Ostermayer.
(No, I didn't research him). The leather sweatband shows wear but is complete. Under the
sweatband there is a stamp but I couldn't make it out for fear that I'd tear the leather.
Personally I like Luft. visors with their springs to give them shape but this hats spring
hat been removed and it gives it a jaunty appearance. Great hat. More Photos SOLD |

go through the material and does not detract from the cap's overall appearance. The cap
is lined with blue-gray satin lining and is size stamped 57. There is no partial leather
sweatband. Overall this is an excellent worn example of a relatively rare cap. More Photos SOLD |

pebbled aluminum buttons have each lost a small amount of their paint finish.The

Luftwaffe flight
helmet w/throat mike. This exellent example is made of light brown cotton cloth with dark
brown leather earphone attachments and trim. The helmet shows light wear, with mild oxidation
to the steel buckle and side clips. The brown leather is in very good condition but being worn
it is not mint. The earphones are fleece-lined. The remaining interior is copper brown satin.
The Siemens manufacturer tag indicates this as a model LKpS101 helmet. There is one small
section of wear on the inside where the chinstrap meets the helmet's body. The sheepskin
chinstraps are otherwise fully intact. The throat mike and power cord show mild age and
use but are 100%. This is an excellent example showing light use.

Luft. enlisted
man's artillery (red) piped white summer visor. This hat is a stunning example
made by Erel. The hat featured a waffle pattern white cotton removable top. The
stiffener has been removed leaving the hat with a more "jaunty" appearance. There
is very mild age yellowing to the top. The eagle is the early style with down-turned
tail feathers. The winged cockade is the standard aluminum enlisted variety. Along
the upper edge of the mohair cap band is the red piping signifying artillery.
The hat has the Erel air vent through the band. The interior features a complete Erel
celluloid diamond and leather sweatband. The artificial silk lining I would rate
in mint condition showing no staining. The size is about 58. An excellent addition.
