RAD BeVo-Woven Cap Badge – EM/NCO Type
€50,00riginal Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) Mützenabzeichen for the Schiffchen / Einheitsfeldmütze, in the BeVo-woven EM/NCO (Mannschaften/Unterführer) type.
The badge is executed in the characteristic woven construction, featuring the RAD emblem with the stylised spade, wheat ears and central swastika. The reverse shows the characteristic folded and woven construction, with the original fabric still present. BeVo-woven RAD cap badges of this type were intended for wear on the RAD field and side caps.
A nice original example for the RAD collector, particularly suitable for completing a period RAD uniform or insignia display. The piece shows age-related wear and some handling/storage damage, as visible in the photographs, but remains an interesting original period textile insignia.

€225,00Original WWII SS Ehrenwinkel für Alte Kämpfer (Old Fighters Honour Chevron).
The insignia features a black wool triangular backing with silver/white metallic woven tresse, with the characteristic black detailing. The reverse shows the original stitching and construction.

WWII Luftwaffe Flak Leutnant Officer Kragenspiegel – Uniform Removed
€60,00Original WWII German Wehrmacht Heer officer’s Kragenspiegel (collar tabs) for a Leutnant, presented as a matching pair.
The tabs are constructed in the typical officer-quality embroidered style, with silver/aluminium-coloured bullion embroidery on a red Waffenfarbe backing. The distinctive officer pattern and rank style make these an excellent addition to a Heer uniform or insignia collection. Heer officers wore embroidered collar patches, with the branch colour incorporated into the collar insignia.
These are original period pieces, removed from a uniform, rather than reproductions or newly manufactured insignia.
Both tabs retain their original construction, with visible age, wear and some loose threads consistent with their having been removed from a wartime uniform. The red wool backing remains particularly strong in colour.
Condition: Used/worn, with some loose threads and signs of service use as shown.
Worn “Hermann Göring” Collar Tab (Missing Skull)
€90,00Original worn “Hermann Göring” collar tab which is missing a Skull, as this was once worn by a Panzer soldier of the unit. Condition as seen.
WWII German Kriegsmarine Marinehelfer Cuff Title
€250,00Original WWII German Kriegsmarine “Marinehelfer” cuff title, featuring yellow woven Gothic lettering on a blue field with the distinctive gold/yellow woven border associated with the Marinehelfer rank distinction.
The cuff title is accompanied by four original period photographs, showing the young wearer in uniform and with fellow Marine-HJ personnel, providing an interesting documented grouping. The photographs give this piece considerably more historical context than a loose insignia alone.
Marinehelfer were young members of the Marine-HJ who were assigned to auxiliary service with the Kriegsmarine, particularly from 1943 onwards. They served in roles including coastal and naval anti-aircraft defence, communications and other support duties. The “Marinehelfer” cuff title was worn on the left sleeve of the uniform.
This example is the standard “Marinehelfer” version rather than “Marineoberhelfer”, and the gold/yellow edging is clearly visible. Contemporary accounts confirm that Marinehelfer cuff titles were worn on the uniform and that gold edging was associated with advancement to Marineoberhelfer.
Wehrmacht Heer Infanterie Shoulderboards – Hauptmann, Infanterie-Regiment 51
€85,00A genuine pair of original Wehrmacht Heer officer shoulderboards for a Hauptmann (Captain) of Infanterie-Regiment 51 of the 18. Infanterie-Division (later 18. Panzer-Grenadier-Division).
The shoulderboards feature the characteristic white infantry branch colour, embroidered officer braid and gilt “51” regimental cyphers, together with the appropriate rank insignia. Both shoulderboards retain their original construction and stitching.
The pair is in well-worn original condition, showing age, service wear, staining, fraying and general signs of use as clearly visible in the photographs. The reverse construction and original attachment details are also present.
An authentic and attractive original pair for collectors of Wehrmacht Heer uniforms, German infantry insignia and regimental items.
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 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.

Condition

- Kingdom of Württemberg issue
- Brass body with silvered applied roundel

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

- Brass construction with separate applied roundel

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 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.
