Waffen-SS SS-Rune Collar Tab – Uniform Removed (!)
€850,00Original WWII German Waffen-SS SS-Rune collar tab / Kragenspiegel, featuring the characteristic white/light-grey embroidered SS runes on a black wool backing. The collar tab is uniform removed! The way I prefer and like them.
The collar tab is constructed on a black wool base with embroidered SS runes and shows clear period wear, age and patination throughout. The reverse retains the original folded wool construction with the tan/brown backing material visible.
A very attractive, genuinely worn example for the collector of German WWII uniform insignia. The piece has not been artificially cleaned or restored and is offered exactly as photographed.
Condition exactly as shown in the photographs.
WWII Russian Liberation Army ROA / POA Sleeve Shield (Uniform Removed!)
€325,00Original WWII German/Russian ROA (POA) sleeve shield, belonging to the Russian Liberation Army, also known as the Vlasov Army.
The shield is constructed on a dark green wool backing, with a machine-embroidered red, white and blue shield bearing the traditional St. Andrew’s Cross, together with the characteristic golden-yellow Cyrillic letters “POA” (РОА – Russkaya Osvoboditelnaya Armiya / Russian Liberation Army).
This is the machine-embroidered wool construction, rather than the later printed type. The construction, materials and embroidery are consistent with known wartime examples of this scarce Russian volunteer insignia. Comparable machine-embroidered examples are documented by specialist dealers and auction houses.
The reverse shows the original wool construction and embroidery work. The piece displays honest period wear and age, including some loose threads and minor wear to the embroidery, consistent with a removed uniform insignia.
The ROA sleeve shield was introduced for Russian volunteer formations serving on the German side during WWII. The insignia incorporates the traditional Russian colours and the St. Andrew’s Cross, deliberately distinguishing the Russian volunteers from the Soviet state symbolism.
NSDAP Member’s Armband (Armbinde) – BeVo Wuppertal Variant
€250,00Original NSDAP Member’s Armband (Armbinde). This classic NSDAP political armband is manufactured from red cotton with stitched edges and features a finely machine-woven black swastika on a white roundel, woven directly into the red cotton armband. This high-quality construction is commonly associated with BeVo (Bandfabrik Ewald Vorsteher), Wuppertal, one of Germany’s leading manufacturers of woven insignia during the Third Reich period. The reverse displays the characteristic woven construction associated with this desirable variant. A rare and highly collectible original BeVo-type NSDAP member’s armband, preserved in good used condition with honest period wear.
Luftwaffe M43 Field Cap (Einheitsfeldmütze) (Also worn by Luftwaffe-Helferinnen)
€650,00Original Luftwaffe M43 Einheitsfeldmütze (Field Cap) dating from the Second World War. Constructed in blue-grey Luftwaffe wool with the characteristic fold-down side panels and short visor.
The cap is fitted with an original hand-stitched embroidered Luftwaffe officer-style eagle above the national cockade. The eagle has been individually sewn to the cap. The interior retains its original grey rayon lining with faint traces of an ink depot stamp still visible beneath the crown.
The cap remains complete with its original pebbled closure buttons and shows honest wartime wear, including light moth tracking and age-related use. Overall, it presents as an attractive, untouched example with excellent display appeal.
Condition: Good, untouched wartime condition with age-related wear. Please study the photographs carefully for condition details.
Luftwaffe EM/NCO Belt Buckle with Original Leather Tab – Berg & Nolte A.G., Lüdenscheid – 1941
€375,00An original Luftwaffe enlisted/NCO belt buckle complete with its original leather tab, manufactured by Berg & Nolte A.G., Lüdenscheid, and dated 1941.
The buckle is the standard wartime Luftwaffe pattern, manufactured from blued steel, featuring the Luftwaffe eagle in flight clutching a swastika within an oak leaf wreath. The original dark finish is well preserved, displaying honest age-related wear and light oxidation in the recessed areas, giving the buckle an attractive untouched appearance.
The reverse retains its original leather tab, clearly embossed:
BERG & NOLTE A.G. – LÜDENSCHEID – 1941
Berg & Nolte A.G. was one of the principal wartime manufacturers of German military belt buckles and leather fittings, making this a desirable maker-marked example.
The leather tab also bears a separate purple ink stamp reading: Horst Wenderoth, Langebrück, Sachsen, Hermannstr.
This is believed to be an ownership or identification stamp rather than a manufacturer’s marking, adding an interesting historical element to the piece.
The original leather tab still retains its wool/felt backing and remains firmly attached to the buckle. The buckle is complete with its original catch and prongs and has never been cleaned or restored.
An excellent untouched Luftwaffe buckle with desirable wartime maker markings, date, and an interesting named leather tab. Near Mint Condition with lots of paint left.
WWI Imperial German Kingdom of Württemberg Enlisted Belt Buckle – M1895 Pattern
€140,00An original Imperial German Army enlisted man’s belt buckle (Koppelschloss) of the Kingdom of Württemberg, featuring the state motto “FURCHTLOS UND TREW” (“Fearless and Loyal”) surrounding the Württemberg coat of arms.
Unlike the more common Prussian “GOTT MIT UNS” buckles, Württemberg buckles were issued exclusively to troops serving under the Kingdom of Württemberg within the Imperial German Army, making them considerably scarcer and more desirable among collectors.
This example is the Model 1895 (M1895) pattern, constructed with a brass body and a silvered applied center roundel. The reverse retains its original attachment hook and steel catch, with no apparent repairs or alterations. It exhibits an attractive untouched patina with honest service wear consistent with age.
A fine and increasingly difficult-to-find Imperial German state buckle, ideal for collectors of WWI German militaria or those specializing in the individual kingdoms of the German Empire.
Condition
- Original Imperial German enlisted buckle
- Kingdom of Württemberg issue
- Brass body with silvered applied roundel
- Original hook and catch
- Attractive untouched patina
- Honest age and service wear
- No visible maker mark
WWI Imperial German (Prussian) “GOTT MIT UNS” Enlisted Belt Buckle – M1895 Pattern
€100,00An original Imperial German Army enlisted man’s belt buckle (Koppelschloss) featuring the famous “GOTT MIT UNS” (“God With Us”) motto surrounding the Imperial Crown within a laurel wreath.
This is the classic Model 1895 (M1895) buckle worn by enlisted soldiers of the Kingdom of Prussia, by far the largest contingent of the Imperial German Army during the First World War. The buckle is constructed from brass with a separately attached roundel, while the reverse retains its original steel catch and attachment bar.
The buckle displays honest field wear and an attractive aged patina consistent with military service. The reverse shows typical oxidation and wear expected from an original period example. No maker’s mark is visible.
A classic and highly collectible Imperial German military item, suitable for any collection focusing on the German Empire, Kaiserreich, or the First World War.
Condition
- Original Imperial German enlisted buckle
- Brass construction with separate applied roundel
- Original steel catch and attachment bar
- Attractive untouched patina
- Honest service wear
- Reverse shows age-related oxidation
- No visible maker markings
WWII German Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht Armband
€175,00Original late-war German Volkssturm armband, featuring the classic “Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht” printed design with eagle insignia.
A textbook wartime example in red, black, and white construction, showing honest age and wear. The armband remains well-preserved overall with strong visible printing on both sides and retains very good display appeal. A nice untouched original example of increasingly sought-after late-war Volkssturm material.
WWII German Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht Armband
€175,00Original late-war German Volkssturm armband, featuring the classic “Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht” printed design with eagle insignia.
A textbook wartime example in red, black, and white construction, showing honest age and wear.

WWII Wehrmacht Artillerie Officer Visor Cap
€795,00An attractive and original Wehrmacht (Heer) Artillerie Officer’s Schirmmütze, with the distinctive bright red (hochrot) Waffenfarbe denoting service with the Artillery branch. The cap displays the elegant appearance expected of privately purchased officer-quality headgear and retains excellent display appeal.
The cap features a high-quality feldgrau wool body with a dark bottle-green center band, beautifully highlighted by vivid red piping around both the crown and band. It retains its original aluminum Heer officer cap eagle, finely hand-embroidered silver bullion oak leaf wreath with metal officer cockade, silver officer chin cords, and black vulcanfiber visor. The buttons are sewn on with black thread (also used to sew on the sweat band in the middle at the back and the oak leaf wreath, this all looks period done so the extra thread might not have been cut back in the day).
The overall shape remains very attractive, with the typical saddle-form crown giving the cap excellent display characteristics. All insignia appear period-applied and match the cap well. The interior retains its original brown leather sweatband and silk lining.
Overall condition is very good, exhibiting only light age-related wear, with no significant moth damage observed to the exterior cloth. The colors remain strong, with particularly vibrant artillery piping that contrasts beautifully against the feldgrau body.
A highly desirable original Wehrmacht Heer officer’s visor cap from the Artillery branch, offering excellent display quality and representing one of the most recognizable pieces of German officer headgear from the Second World War.
Condition: Very good original condition with honest period wear. Interior shows use and age-related staining, with partial separation of the sweatband stitching. Please study the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
Belgian Army Bonnet de Police (Kwartiermuts) – 6de Linie Regiment – WWII Era
€100,00Original Belgian Army Bonnet de Police / Kwartiermuts dating from the Second World War period, attributed to the prestigious 6de Linie Regiment (6th Line Regiment). Constructed in the typical Belgian khaki wool with dark blue piping, retaining a strong untouched wartime appearance.
The cap is fitted with the original regimental numeral “6”. Cap retains its original kwispel (tassel).
A fine and honest field-used example showing clear wartime wear and age, exactly as expected from an original used item. The interior displays service wear and staining, while the exterior retains a pleasing untouched look with good overall shape.
A desirable and increasingly scarce piece of Belgian WWII headgear, especially with clear attribution to the 6de Linie Regiment and the evocative captivity-related insignia.
Condition
- Original WWII-period example
- Original “6” regimental insignia present
- Honest field wear and age throughout
- Interior with service-related wear/staining
- Exactly as shown in the photographs
Named Belgian M35 Officer Uniform – Lt. Georges L.L. Saint-Maux – Administration Service
€550,00An exceptional and historically researchable Belgian M35 officer’s uniform set, consisting of the tunic and matching trousers (the trousers are unfortunately not pictured, as they could not be mounted together with the display). The uniform belonged to an officer of the Belgian Army Administration service and pairs perfectly with the administrative kepi previously acquired from the same grouping.
What makes this set especially desirable is the fact that it is fully name-attributed. The interior label bears the name “Lt. St. Maux”, allowing the original owner to be positively identified as Georges L.L. Saint-Maux of Aarlen (Arlon).
Further research revealed Saint-Maux in the well-known “Guldenboek der Vuurkaarten”, where both his full name and portrait photograph are published, giving this uniform a direct and personal historical connection to its wearer. In addition, he also appears on the website of the Fraternelle Chasseur Ardennais, where he is listed among the Chasseurs Ardennais in 1938. During the First World War, Saint-Maux served with the Belgian 10th Line Regiment.
The tunic remains a fine and attractive example of the Belgian M35 officer uniform, showing honest period wear and age. A highly interesting named Belgian officer grouping with documented provenance and excellent research potential.
A rare opportunity to acquire a fully identified Belgian officer uniform belonging to a documented prewar and wartime officer with confirmed military service history.
Belgian M1935 Officer’s Tunic – 12e Linieregiment (Infantry)
€450,00Interesting and research-worthy Belgian Model 1935 officer’s tunic, fitted with shoulder boards of the 12th Line Regiment (12e Linieregiment). The tunic displays a remarkable combination of pre-war, wartime, and post-war elements, illustrating the continued use and adaptation of Belgian military uniforms throughout and after the Second World War.
Most striking are the eight gold front stripes on the lower sleeve, indicating four years of frontline service during the First World War. Such a distinction would only have been awarded to a veteran with extensive active front service between 1914–1918.
Inside the tunic is a name label dated 1940, reading — as far as currently decipherable — “Schouveller.” Research in Belgian military annuaries reveals a likely candidate: Schouveller R.V.J., Infantryman, born 15 October 1901.
This immediately creates a historical inconsistency, as an individual born in 1901 could not realistically have accumulated four years of effective frontline service during the First World War, and therefore would not qualify for eight front stripes. Furthermore, Schouveller appears associated with the Chasseurs Ardennais (Ardense Jagers) in period records.
Several plausible explanations exist:
- The tunic may originally have belonged to Schouveller and later reused by an older First World War veteran during or after 1940.
- The uniform could have been privately acquired or reused following mobilization, demobilization, or captivity circumstances.
- The handwritten name may have been misread, requiring further archival comparison with similar surnames.
The tunic is decorated with numerous award ribbons connected to both World Wars, including:
- Leopold Order with Palm
- Fire Cross (Vuurkruis)
- War Cross with Palms
- Victory Medal
- Iron Medal with four stripes
- Belgian Centenary of National Independence Medal 1830–1930
The uniform is additionally fitted with the Fourragère / Vuurkoord, further enhancing its visual and historical appeal.
Rank insignia indicate Captain-Commandant, though these are clearly early post-war additions — entirely consistent with Belgian military practice, as pre-war uniforms were frequently reused and updated after 1945. The shoulder boards themselves also appear to be early post-war manufacture.
An especially interesting aspect is the historical connection between the 12th Line Regiment and the Chasseurs Ardennais, strengthening the possibility that the tunic reflects a transitional or reused service garment rather than a straightforward single-period issue.
Overall, this is a highly attractive and historically layered Belgian officer’s tunic with excellent research potential, illustrating the complex continuity between First World War veterans, the 1940 campaign, and post-war Belgian military service.
Belgian Army Visor Cap – Post-Liberation / Early Postwar – Royal Crown Badge
€100,00Original Belgian Army visor cap dating to the immediate post-liberation / early post-WWII period, likely manufactured shortly after the liberation of Belgium in 1944–45.
The cap is constructed in classic Belgian khaki wool with a brown leather chinstrap and retains its original Belgian national cockade together with the royal crown insignia to the front. The overall appearance strongly reflects transitional Belgian military headgear used during the rebuilding of the Belgian armed forces following occupation.
The interior retains its original diamond-shaped retailer/manufacturer label from:
“Vêtements Civils et Militaires Van Den Haute-Rabou”
86 Rue de Diest, Louvain (Leuven)
Condition remains very good overall, showing only light age and storage wear. The cap retains an attractive shape and displays very well.
A desirable and increasingly harder-to-find piece of early postwar Belgian military headgear, closely linked to the liberation and reconstruction period of the Belgian Army.
Insignia – 4th Infantry Brigade “Steenstraete” (Belgium, 1945) – First Pattern
€15,00Original printed insignia of the Belgian 4th Infantry Brigade “Steenstraete”, first pattern.
A scarce early example, produced shortly near the end of the Second World War. The insignia remains in overall good condition, showing typical age-related wear (see images for details).
An attractive and historically relevant piece of post-liberation Belgian military material, seldom encountered on the market.

WWI Württemberg Enlisted Visor Cap – Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 120 (Somme, Verdun, Flanderns!)
€295,00Original enlisted man’s visor cap from the Kingdom of Württemberg, attributed to Reserve Infantry Regiment No. 120, a unit with extensive and active service throughout World War 1.
The cap remains in good, color-fresh condition, with the cloth and trim retaining a pleasing and well-preserved appearance. It shows typical signs of age, including light moth damage and a few very small holes, the most noticeable being a small hole on the reverse within the red band.
Inside, the cap is clearly marked with the wearer’s name “Stemmler” alongside the regimental designation “Res. IR 120”, giving it strong historical authenticity and personal attribution.
A highly collectible and historically rich example, directly tied to a regiment that fought in many of the defining campaigns of the Great War. The named interior adds an extra layer of research potential and personal connection.
Hitlerjugend Shoulder Boards (Pair) – Bann 564 (Complete with Slip-Ons)
€125,00Original matching pair of Hitlerjugend (HJ) shoulder boards for Bann 564.
Complete with slip-on attachments. The pair remains in overall good condition, showing typical age-related wear consistent with period items (see images for details).
A solid and authentic set of HJ insignia, clearly identifiable to a specific Bann unit, making it a desirable piece for collectors of youth organization material and German WWII uniforms.
Belgian 2de Jagers te Voet Side Cap – WWII Belgian Army Infantry – Rare Bonnet de Police
€130,00Original Belgian Army Bonnet de Police (side cap) attributed to the 2de Regiment Jagers te Voet (2nd Foot Chasseurs).
A desirable and increasingly hard-to-find piece of Belgian WWII-era infantry headgear. The cap shows honest period wear and age, with all characteristics consistent with wartime or immediate pre-war manufacture. Condition is exactly as shown in the photos.
