WWII NAZI GERMAN LUFTWAFFE M40 SINGLE DECAL HELMET

WWII NAZI GERMAN LUFTWAFFE M40 SINGLE DECAL HELMET

Lot # 310 (Sale Order: 353 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 400High Estimate: 600
The stamped, sheet steel construction helmet retains a good portion of its original smooth textured paint. The left side of the helmet has a second pattern, (Circa 1936/1937-1945), black detailed, silvery/white, Luftwaffe eagle decal, clutching a canted swastika in one talon. The decal is retained 90%. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet has an excellent M31 leather liner. The reverse, interior, neck guard apron is serial/lot number stamped, "1123" and the interior, left side, apron has the stamped manufacturer’s code and size, "ET64", indicating manufacture by Eisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG Thale/Harz, size 64. Nice untouched worn and used example. The first "modern" steel helmets were introduced by the French army in early 1915 and were shortly followed by the British army later that year. With plans on the drawing board, experimental helmets in the field, ("Gaede" helmet), and some captured French and British helmets the German army began tests for their own steel helmet at the Kummersdorf Proving Grounds in November, and in the field in December 1915. An acceptable pattern was developed and approved and production began at Eisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG Thale/Harz, (Iron and Foundry Works), in the spring of 1916. These first modern M16 helmets evolved into the M18 helmets by the end of WWI. The M16 and M18 helmets remained in usage through-out the Weimar Reichswehr, (National Defence Force, Circa 1919-1933), era and on into the early years of the Third Reich until the development of the smaller, lighter M35 style helmet in June 1935. In an effort to reduced construction time and labor costs minor modifications were introduced in March 1940 resulting in the M40 helmet. Further construction modifications were undertaken in August 1942 resulting in the M42 helmet. The Luftwaffe pattern national eagle was originally introduced for wear by Fliegerschaft, (Pilot Base), personnel of the DLV, Deutscher Luftsportsverband, (German Air Sports Association), the clandestine, civilian, forerunner of the Luftwaffe on August 18TH 1934, and adopted for wear by the Luftwaffe on March 1ST 1935 along with the national tri-color shield for wear on the helmet. The first pattern national eagle was utilized until a modified second pattern eagle was introduced in late 1936 or early 1937. Regulations of June 12TH 1940 discontinued the use of the national tri-color decal and further regulations of August 28TH 1943 abolished the national eagle decal and dictated that it was also to be removed from all helmets although the directives were not completely adhered to.

EARLY ATTICA PRISON TOWER DOUBLE LOCK HANDCUFFS

EARLY ATTICA PRISON TOWER DOUBLE LOCK HANDCUFFS

Lot # 312 (Sale Order: 355 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 200High Estimate: 400
Each handcuff is approximately 4 3/4" LONG AND 3" W. Tower Double Lock Handcuff" Despite the round bow the Tower bottom key and single lock models could be shimmed by a determined prisoner with a proper bit of metal. To permanently solve the problem Tower introduced the Tower "Double Lock" handcuff. Patented on August 19, 1879 this handcuff has a much more sophisticated lock mechanism. The lock had two settings. In the single lock mode it acted just like the single lock model. To open the lock the key was inserted an rotated one half turn to the left, counter-clockwise. However, if the key was turned instead to the right, a full turn clockwise, then the lock was put into a double locked setting. The catch or bolt was now frozen, the handcuff bow could not be opened, but it also could not be further closed. This prevented one from shimming open the cuff. To remove the double lock the key had to be reinserted and turned a full turn to the left, counter-clockwise. Another half turn to the left would then open the cuff completely. The earliest Tower double lock handcuffs are marvels of engineering. They were manufactured to very high tolerances. The key hole has a very tight opening requiring a key with a very thin wall. The bow also fits into the lock case with a very close fit. Indeed there is so little gap it is hard to imagine any prisoner successfully shimming open the cuff even without the double lock. One could reasonably argue that these handcuffs are the finest handcuffs ever made in America, at least in terms of adherence to quality standards of manufacturing. Unfortunately these comments apply only to the earliest double lock models. Double lock Tower hand cuffs were manufactured for over fifty years. Later models were not manufactured to such high standards. These particular handcuff were property stamped by Attica Prison as seen in the photos. Attica Correctional Facility is a maximum security campus New York State prison in the town of Attica, New York, operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. It was constructed in the 1930 and held many of the most dangerous criminals of the time. A CS gas system (chlorobenzylidine malononitrile) installed in the mess hall and industry areas has been used to quell conflicts in these areas. The prison now holds many inmates who are serving various types of sentences (short-term to life), and who are usually sent to the facility because of disciplinary problems in other facilities.

Both collar tabs and shoulder boards are also in yellow for flight personnel. The tunic has two, pleated patch breast pockets and two pleated hip pockets all with button down flaps. The left breast has two vertical loops for wear of an award and a ribbon/medal bar. The straight cut non-adjustable sleeves have deep fold back French cuffs which are tacked in the upright position at both the inner and outer sleeve seams. The reverse of the tunic has a short central vertical tail skirt vent with two inserted silver washed stamped alloy pebbled belt support ramp buttons positioned at the top edge. The interior of the tunic is fully lined in ribbed, charcoal gray cotton/rayon material with striped rayon sleeves. The lining has a horizontal slash pocket to the left breast panel and still retains the dagger hanger. 2) Private purchased, Luftwaffe blue/gray, wool/rayon blend, construction breeches feature a vertical, four button French fly with an additional button positioned on the waistband. Buttons all look to be original stitching. The breeches are roughly size 34" waist with leather reinforced seat. Excellent The Reichsluftwaffe was official established on February 26TH 1935 as the third branch of service of the Armed Forces. On March 9TH 1935 the formation of the new Reichsluftwaffe was announced to the foreign press and on March 16TH conscription was reintroduced for all three branches of service. On May 21ST 1935 the Reichsluftwaffe designation was altered to Luftwaffe. The standard pattern service uniform was adopted by the Luftwaffe in March 1935, and was based on the uniform worn by personnel in the Deutscher Luftsport Verband, (German Air Sports League), a civilian forerunner of the Luftwaffe, as early as 1933, with minor modifications. The 1935 pattern uniform tunic was designated Tuchrock, (Cloth tunic), and was worn open at the neck. On November 11TH 1938 a new pattern tunic was introduced that had allowances for it to be worn closed at the neck. The 1938 pattern tunic was designated Anzugrock, (Uniform tunic), and was intended to replace the 1935 pattern Tuchrock and Fliegerbluse, (Flight Blouse). The 1938 pattern tunic eventually did replace the Tuchrock, but not the Fliegerbluse. Officers and certain senior NCO ranks were responsible for purchasing their own uniforms and as a result were allotted a clothing allowance through the Luftwaffe’s Verkaufsabteilung, (Air-Force Sales Department), system. The Officers and certain senior NCO’s could choose to purchase their uniforms from the armed forces clothing depots or to privately purchase uniform items of higher quality. Although enlisted personnel were issued their uniforms from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored uniforms although the price may have been restrictive. The different branches of service within the Luftwaffe were allocated a specific, identifying, waffenfarbe, (Branch of Service Colors), with yellow being chosen for flight personnel, units which was generally displayed as collar piping for EM/NCO’s, (discontinued in March 1940), on the collar tabs and as piping on the shoulder strap/boards of the service tunic. Originally NCO’s with the ranks of Unteroffizier to Stabsfeldwebel inclusively, were distinguished by the addition of bright silver/aluminum tress on the forward collar edge of the dress and service tunics, on the tropical and continental field blouses, as adornment on the shoulder straps and dress tunic cuffs and also as sleeve rank chevrons. On September 1ST 1942, the Luftwaffe following the army’s lead, introduced a new subdued matte blue/grey rayon tress for wear on the field uniform. Although the new subdued tress was intended to replace the highly visible bright silver/aluminum tress it continued in usage until the end of the war.

WWII NAZI GERMAN ARMY M44 LOW QUARTER SHOES WW2

Lot # 320 (Sale Order: 364 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 400High Estimate: 600
M44 low quarter hob nail shoes features three rows of hobnails with heel plate and toe cap. Approx. size 9. excellent. Besides the helmet, the tall marching boot is probably one of the most instantly recognizable items of the German military. However the German concern with leather shortages was evident as early as September 1939 when issue of the traditional tall leather marching boot was restricted to personnel serving in the field. Regulations in November 1939 shortened the tall leather marching boot in an attempt to conserve leather. In early 1940 the lace-up ankle boots were first introduced as a further leather conservation method and by 1941 the ankle boot was issued to all new recruits in place of the marching boot. By 1943 with escalating leather shortages the gaiter’s and lace up ankle boots were issued to all replacement personnel and manufacture of the tall marching boots was discontinued altogether. Of Note: Although the short lace-up ankle boots were completely serviceable they proved quite unpopular with the troops and a great deal of effort was put into the care and maintenance of the tall marching boots by those personnel who had retained them.

WWII NAZI GERMAN ARMY INFANTRY TUNIC M40 WW2

WWII NAZI GERMAN ARMY INFANTRY TUNIC M40 WW2

Lot # 321 (Sale Order: 365 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,400
Field-gray wool/rayon blend construction field blouse features a vertical five button front closure with a single metal hook and eye positioned at the neckline. The field blouse has four pleated front pockets with straight edged button down flaps. The breast pocket are the basic patch type while the hip pockets are the saddlebag type with expanding side panels. Super nice pair of original infantry slip on straps. Nice size and Rbnr# markings and is dated 1940. The field blouse is roughly size 38 to 40" chest. Super nice tunic and in great condition. The M40 field blouse was basically a continuation of the modifications of the M33 field blouse which had evolved into the M36 field blouse. Modifications to the M36 field blouse included alteration of the bright silver/aluminum NCO tress and rank chevrons to a less visible subdued matte grey tress in April 1940, and changing the blue/green badge cloth collar to a field-grey basic cloth collar in May 1940. These alterations resulted in the M40 field blouse. Of Note: Although the bright silver/aluminum NCO tress and rank chevrons were to be replaced with the less visible subdued matte grey tress, it is not uncommon to find the brighter tress still in use on the M40 or even later produced field blouses. Officers and certain senior NCO ranks were responsible for purchasing their own uniforms and as a result were allotted a clothing allowance through the army’s Kliederkasse, (Clothing Account), system. The Officers and certain senior NCO’s could choose to purchase their uniforms from the armed forces clothing depots or to privately purchase garments of higher quality. Although enlisted personnel were issued their uniforms from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored uniforms although the price may have been restrictive.
Field-gray wool/rayon blend construction field blouse features a vertical five button front closure with a single metal hook and eye positioned at the neckline. The field...more blouse has four pleated front pockets with straight edged button down flaps. The breast pocket are the basic patch type while the hip pockets are the saddlebag type with expanding side panels. Super nice pair of original infantry slip on straps. Nice size and Rbnr# markings and is dated 1940. The field blouse is roughly size 38 to 40" chest. Super nice tunic and in great condition. The M40 field blouse was basically a continuation of the modifications of the M33 field blouse which had evolved into the M36 field blouse. Modifications to the M36 field blouse included alteration of the bright silver/aluminum NCO tress and rank chevrons to a less visible subdued matte grey tress in April 1940, and changing the blue/green badge cloth collar to a field-grey basic cloth collar in May 1940. These alterations resulted in the M40 field blouse.

The straight cut non-adjustable sleeves have deep fold back French cuffs which are tacked in the upright position at both the inner and outer sleeve seams. The reverse of the tunic has a short central vertical tail skirt vent with two inserted silver washed stamped alloy pebbled belt support ramp buttons positioned at the top edge. The interior of the tunic is fully lined in ribbed, charcoal gray cotton/rayon material with striped rayon sleeves. The lining has a horizontal slash pocket to the left breast panel and still retains the dagger hanger. 2) EM/NCO'S LONG PANTS.

The pants have two diagonally angled, zippered slash front pockets. The waistband has eight buttons for the suspenders. The reverse of the pants also have two small vertical tapering darts and a horizontal fit adjustment straps with corresponding, blued, sheet metal, gripper buckle. The pants are roughly size 34" waist. Nice!! The Reichsluftwaffe was official established on February 26TH 1935 as the third branch of service of the Armed Forces. On March 9TH 1935 the formation of the new Reichsluftwaffe was announced to the foreign press and on March 16TH conscription was reintroduced for all three branches of service. On May 21ST 1935 the Reichsluftwaffe designation was altered to Luftwaffe. The standard pattern service uniform was adopted by the Luftwaffe in March 1935, and was based on the uniform worn by personnel in the Deutscher Luftsport Verband, (German Air Sports League), a civilian forerunner of the Luftwaffe, as early as 1933, with minor modifications. The 1935 pattern uniform tunic was designated Tuchrock, (Cloth tunic), and was worn open at the neck. On November 11TH 1938 a new pattern tunic was introduced that had allowances for it to be worn closed at the neck. The 1938 pattern tunic was designated Anzugrock, (Uniform tunic), and was intended to replace the 1935 pattern Tuchrock and Fliegerbluse, (Flight Blouse). The 1938 pattern tunic eventually did replace the Tuchrock, but not the Fliegerbluse. Officers and certain senior NCO ranks were responsible for purchasing their own uniforms and as a result were allotted a clothing allowance through the Luftwaffe’s Verkaufsabteilung, (Air-Force Sales Department), system. The Officers and certain senior NCO’s could choose to purchase their uniforms from the armed forces clothing depots or to privately purchase uniform items of higher quality. Although enlisted personnel were issued their uniforms from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored uniforms although the price may have been restrictive.

Originally NCO’s with the ranks of Unteroffizier to Stabsfeldwebel inclusively, were distinguished by the addition of bright silver/aluminum tress on the forward collar edge of the dress and service tunics, on the tropical and continental field blouses, as adornment on the shoulder straps and dress tunic cuffs and also as sleeve rank chevrons. On September 1ST 1942, the Luftwaffe following the army’s lead, introduced a new subdued matte blue/grey rayon tress for wear on the field uniform. Although the new subdued tress was intended to replace the highly visible bright silver/aluminum tress it continued in usage until the end of the war.

Lot # 324 (Sale Order: 368 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 300High Estimate: 400
M44 low quarter hob nail shoes features five rows of hobnails with heel plate and toe cap. Approx. size 9. excellent. Besides the helmet, the tall marching boot is probably one of the most instantly recognizable items of the German military. However the German concern with leather shortages was evident as early as September 1939 when issue of the traditional tall leather marching boot was restricted to personnel serving in the field. Regulations in November 1939 shortened the tall leather marching boot in an attempt to conserve leather. In early 1940 the lace-up ankle boots were first introduced as a further leather conservation method and by 1941 the ankle boot was issued to all new recruits in place of the marching boot. By 1943 with escalating leather shortages the gaiter’s and lace up ankle boots were issued to all replacement personnel and manufacture of the tall marching boots was discontinued altogether. Of Note: Although the short lace-up ankle boots were completely serviceable they proved quite unpopular with the troops and a great deal of effort was put into the care and maintenance of the tall marching boots by those personnel who had retained them.

Low Estimate: 400High Estimate: 600
This stamped sheet steel construction helmet retains about 90% of its original field-gray paint. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet has a M31 liner in place. Leather is still fully intact with all the fingers. Marked "EF66" "2442", indicating manufacture by Emaillierwerk, AG Fulda, size 66. Still retains the original chinstrap as well. Excellent. The first "modern" steel helmets were introduced by the French army in early 1915 and were shortly followed by the British army later that year. With plans on the drawing board, experimental helmets in the field, ("Gaede" helmet), and some captured French and British helmets the German army began tests for their own steel helmet at the Kummersdorf Proving Grounds in November, and in the field in December 1915. An acceptable pattern was developed and approved and production began at Eisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG Thale/Harz, in the spring of 1916. These first modern M16 helmets evolved into the M18 helmets by the end of WWI. The M16 and M18 helmets remained in usage through-out the Weimar Reichswehr era and on into the early years of the Third Reich until the development of the smaller, lighter M35 style helmet in June 1935. In an effort to reduced construction time and labor costs minor modifications were introduced in March 1940 resulting in the M40 helmet. Further construction modifications were undertaken in August 1942 resulting in the M42 helmet. Originally the Third Reich national tri-color helmet decal was introduced on March 14TH 1933 for wear on the left side of the helmet to replace the Reichswehr era state shield insignia. Regulations of February 17TH 1934 introduced the Wehrmacht eagle decal and the national tri-color decal was shifted to the right side of the helmet with the Wehrmacht eagle decal positioned on the left hand side. Regulations of March 21ST 1940 dictated that the national tri-color decal was to be removed from all helmets and further regulations of August 28TH 1943 abolished the Wehrmacht eagle decal and dictated that it was also to be removed from all helmets although the directives were not completely adhered to.

Period worn and used example The first "modern" steel helmets were introduced by the French army in early 1915 and were shortly followed by the British army later that year. With plans on the drawing board, experimental helmets in the field, ("Gaede" helmet), and some captured French and British helmets the German army began tests for their own steel helmet at the Kummersdorf Proving Grounds in November, and in the field in December 1915. An acceptable pattern was developed and approved and production began at Eisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG Thale/Harz, in the spring of 1916. These first modern M16 helmets evolved into the M18 helmets by the end of WWI. The M16 and M18 helmets remained in usage through-out the Weimar Reichswehr era and on into the early years of the Third Reich until the development of the smaller, lighter M35 style helmet in June 1935. In an effort to reduced construction time and labor costs minor modifications were introduced in March 1940 resulting in the M40 helmet. Further construction modifications were undertaken in August 1942 resulting in the M42 helmet. Originally the Third Reich national tri-color helmet decal was introduced on March 14TH 1933 for wear on the left side of the helmet to replace the Reichswehr era state shield insignia. Regulations of February 17TH 1934 introduced the Wehrmacht eagle decal and the national tri-color decal was shifted to the right side of the helmet with the Wehrmacht eagle decal positioned on the left hand side. Regulations of March 21ST 1940 dictated that the national tri-color decal was to be removed from all helmets and further regulations of August 28TH 1943 abolished the Wehrmacht eagle decal and dictated that it was also to be removed from all helmets although the directives were not completely adhered to.
The stamped sheet steel construction helmet retains about 65% tp 70% of its slightly rough textured, age darkened field-grey paint with numerous small surface scratches a...morend minor surface spotting. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet has a M31 style, leather liner with all of its fingers intact. The liner is in overall good condition with light age and usage toning and it has started to stiffen with age. Original size adjustment string is present.
