New Items
| 1. German WWII M30 Gasmask and M1938 can, complete, all original. M-38 can is dated 1939. Has spring in bottom and extra lenses in the accessory box. This is the early wartime, canvas and rubber mask, not the late/post war all rubber mask. Original wartime filter with the multiple, small inlet holes vs the postwar single hole in the bottom center. Can has the original WWII straps and even has the leather slider. Original, field gray paint on the can in very nice condition. Has the name of the soldier and his position of Stabzahlmeister (staff pay master) typed on a strip of paper and glued on the inside of the lid per normal Wehrmacht tradition. All in all, the nicest one I have seen in a long time. |

$225 |
| 2. German M1930 Pre-War Gas Mask can. This is the shorter can. Has the waffen amt stamped on the inside of the lid. Original paint, no straps. Supposedly, these were favored by panzer troops due to the smaller size as compared to the M1938 standard issue. Nicest one I have ever seen. Pre-war, light olive gray paint. |
|
$85 |
| 3. German WWII M1941 Rucksack. This is the olive colored canvas rucksack that fastened to the loops of the Y-Straps. RZM marked, dated either 1942 or 43 (hard to make out). Un-issued condition. Cannot be upgraded. |
|

| 16 | 1933 National Election TinnieIn 1933, this meant Yes, vote for the Nazi party. Hitler was already Chancellor, but it was this election that the Nazi party won 95% of the vote and secured their opportunity to seize all power in Germany. These pins were sold at polling stations for 5 pffennigs and indicated that you had just voted for the Nazis. I have read that even the Berlin hookers got up to vote and proudly sported these badges. Truly a watershed memento of the Third Reich. |

| 6 | Luftwaffe 1950s Gabardine 4 pocket Uniform made up to look WWII. Actually, these early, post war tunic sets are very hard to come by, especially when they are a large size. The FLAK patch, gull wings on the collar tabs, and the Gefreiter badge look original. I would say it is a 44 chest, Regular length. Comes with matching trousers that are a tight 36 inch waist. The legs are tapered, so I am assuming you are supposed to wear boots. If not, this was one post-war kraut with skinny chicken legs! Comes with all badges as shown plus the trousers. |
