Item 6088 WW2 German Teller mine fuse
It continues to amaze me at how much time and effort that the Germans put into creating and manufacturing items that were intended to just blow up. This is a fuse for the Teller mine model 35. which was the basic anti-tank defensive mine used by the Wehrmacht until the creation of the larger Model 43 type. This fuse is well marked and dated 1938. It has a waffen ampt stamp and the words "safe" and "set" along with the set-screw. A very nice example of German technic. Will look as great sitting on your desk as it does mine. Price $100.00

Item 6081 WW2 German DAK painted bayonet.
This bayonet has me scratching my head. The paint appears to be the real thing. Short of taking it down to the DOW chemical laboratory for analysis, I don't know how I could confirm it. The tan paint covers the grips and most of the scabbard. The blade does not match the scabbard but both are early enough to have seen service in Afrika. The blade is nice. There are no dents, dings or rust. Once again, I think it is the real thing but opinions may vary. Be sure of yours before you buy this because I can attach no guarantee to it. Price $200.00
----------------------------------------------------------------
Item 6080 WW2 German ammo pouch

Item 6085 WW2 German soldier's cigarette lighter
An ever popular item. This aluminum body lighter has an engraved picture on it of a hunter's cabin.

Perfect for the personnel items display. Price $25.00

Item 6071 WW2 German Water transport bag
Here is a fantastically rare item for those of you who are connoisseurs of rare field gear. This is the 20 liter carry bag for potable water. ( Note that I said "potable" not "Portable" but in this case both words apply). It has sound wooden handles and the canvas is in very nice condition. I cannot guarantee that it will still hold water after all these years but that's not why you'd be wanting to buy it anyway is it? (if so, then you'd be best to use canvas waterproofing on the inside) I bought this item in Normandy France some years ago and have recently upgraded it so it can leave my collection.

The leather is in fine shape and the stitching is even still white. The maker marking is clear and readable. The only problem is a small snag or hole at the lower front near the corner of the left side pocket. I am still convinced that you will really like this rucksack and will never regret having bought it. Price $90.00

Item 6046: WW2 German 200 Liter fuel drum
Now, isn't this special? The standard 200 liter (40 gallon) drum for transporting the life's blood of Hitler's war machine. I bought this drum (and the one below) at a scrap yard in Isigny sur-mer, Normandy a few years ago so obviously it belonged to a unit which had participated in the Normandy battles of the summer of '44. It is well marked on both the top and bottom with "Kraftstoff, 200L, feuergefahrlich, Wehrmacht B42" (Vehicle fuel, 200 liters, flammable, wehrmacht, maker mark 1943). This drum has the heavy rings around it to prevent dents. They are the stamped type rings found generally on later war drums. There are no holes or leaks. The filler hole at the side is capped. Has a few dents in the sides but nothing really serious. Size is 34 inches tall and 23 diameter. Perfect to set your TV on or use for hoarding gasoline. ( Obviously, I cannot mail it to you so we'd have to work out a way to get to your house) $375.00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 6047: WW2 German 200 Liter fuel drum
Here's an item that accompanied every German motorized unit where-ever they went. I bought this drum (and the one above) at a scrap yard in Isigny sur-mer, Normandy a few years ago so obviously it belonged to a unit which had participated in the Normandy battles of the summer of '44. It is well marked on both the top and bottom with "Kraftstoff, 200L, feuergefahrlich, Wehrmacht 1943" (Vehicle fuel, 200 liters, flammable, wehrmacht, 1943). This drum has the heavy rings around it to prevent dents. They are the cast type rings found generally on early or mid war drums. There are no holes or leaks. The filler hole at the side is capped. The hull has many dents in it. This can be remedied if you wish to cut off one of the ends and then crawl inside and hammer out the dents and then weld the end back on again. I have done this before but leave this job for the buyer. Size is 34 inches tall and 23 inches diameter. Price $275.00 ( Obviously, I cannot mail it to you so we'd have to work out a way to get to your house)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 6043: WW2 German Pre-war (1937) Binos with case
The case is actually a big plus with these binoculars. You just don't see the early ones around anymore. These have the Roman numeral I at the top as they should for all 6 X 30 glasses of the era. The carry strap is present and intact. The case is well marked and dated 1937. The binos themselves are just a bit less as impressive. The "dienstglas" word is scratched off as is commonly found. The optics are not super clear. Just good enough to get into trouble with if you go spying on the lady next-door. The finish of the binos is a redeeming factor; being quite nice. Price $225.00

Item 6042: WW2 Luftwaffe bread bag

I bought this steel grenade can at a military show in Belgium and used it for luggage coming back to the US. ( no dirty underwear was put inside...I promise) It is in great shape with no dents or significant rust. The exterior has been re-painted in battleship grey. It must have been done a long time ago.
