What's your newest militaria III

Hi John, great other itmes too. If you dont mind? but, how much was the replica MP-40?

 

Don't mind at all, Carl, it was £125.

 

Good price - not 'crazy' at all.

 

I saw them on another dealers table for £165.

I just need to get a strap for it now!

 

Found the same replica MP40 here on IMA for $219.95 + shipping. The price is comparable to what I paid.

I got this at the Thrift store here in town for $7.50

 

Thanks mate. Im guessing that would be about $250.00 USD. The one I went for last year was $250.00

 

I ran out of salutes and cant give more rep points yet but, thanks for the link and I would not mind getting a few more of them. Now if I only had the money for another???????? I guess this means maybe selling off more of the collection. Anyone here intrested in Imperial German Stuff? ;-))

 

Very nice! And a good price too

 

Thank you!

 

Can't go wrong with 7.50 Josh ......i've often thrown away more money then that with nothing to show for it.

 

Great finds Vegar! That Permit from the Reichskomisär is a great document.
I don't know why the Norwagians use dswedish jackets at one point . Many nations boroowed gear fro mSweden, just because it was available. Finland for instance bought a lot from Sweden because it was easier , faster and cheaper to do so.
Hi John : the cleaning tool is something istill need to add to my collcetion

Josh: great field jacket with the perfect label, well worth the money invested to say the least!

 

Then i shall explain:

The uniforms were used by Norwegian police forces(Polititroppene), these were men trained in Sweden during the war and they were sent into the country on May 8th to keep order and arrest enemy soldiers and Norwegian traitors and such.

 

Therefore they had Swedish uniforms, but they had armbands saying "Politi"(Police) and Swedish helmets with a white N on the side.

Nice uns Kai. I HOPE someday I can view your entire collection in person ;-))

 

Another one to add to the collection!

A german civilian gas mask made by either Drager or Auer, who both used WaA 104.



WaA 104 was for Auer-Gesellschaft A.G., Gasglühlicht, Werk Orianenburg, Berlin N 65
and Drägerwerk, Heinr. u. Bernh. Dräger, Gasschutzgeräte, Moislingersallee 51-53, Lübeck

Hi John I hope yours is a good one, but I have been having doubts about large quantities of German civilian , child and Luftschutz GM's appearing all the sudden on Ebay Germany, all with original cardbox box, great markings and Luftschutz user manuel . I have been offered these for a few euros each. (several with different markings but all looking alike) and declined the offers.

 

It is the real thing, Skipper, I've seen and handled a lot of them. The only fault with it is that some idiot has forced off the bottom of the filter and this is causing the small charcoal pieces to fall out.

German military gas mask canisters and M35 and M42 helmets seem to be the things that are heavily copied at the moment, but they are still (for now) recognisable from the real thing.

Still, the mask only cost me £1.20.
