This is an original WWII-era U.S. military leather pistol holster, marked "U.S." on the flap and manufacturer-stamped on the reverse: "Milwaukee Saddlery Co., 1942." Constructed from thick russet-brown leather with full brass hardware and belt loop attachment, the holster remains in solid condition with some softening from age and field use.

Stitching remains firm, and the flap's brass stud is intact and functional. The Milwaukee Saddlery Company was one of several contractors supplying sidearm holsters for the U.S. Army during WWII. These holsters were designed to accommodate the M1911 .45 ACP pistol, the standard sidearm for U.S. forces during the war.

This is a fine example of wartime U.S. leatherwork from a respected maker....more

"This is an original WWII Australian or New Zealand Commando knuckle duster trench knife, complete with its original leather sheath. The design features a multi-purpose handle for punching and stabbing, with an integral knuckle guard that also acts as a blunt-force weapon. The blade remains serviceable, and the leather scabbard shows signs of age but remains intact.

These trench knives were issued to elite ANZAC commandos operating in the Pacific Theater, where brutal close-quarters jungle combat demanded rugged, dual-purpose weapons. The knuckle duster grip offered an edge in silent sentry removal and brutal hand-to-hand encounters.

Rare and highly sought after, especially with provenance as a veteran bring-back, this knife is a key artifact from the Allied special operations legacy of World War II. Provenance: Vet bring-back...more

"This WWII-issue leather pistol holster is marked ""U.S."" on the outer flap and ""Boyt -44"" on the back, indicating manufacture by the renowned Boyt Harness Company in 1944. The russet leather retains excellent flexibility, with strong original stitching, belt loop, and intact brass closure stud.

Boyt was one of the premier military leather goods suppliers throughout WWII, producing everything from holsters to scabbards and web gear. This holster was designed for the M1911 pistol and saw use across multiple theaters-from Europe to the Pacific.

As a veteran bringback, this example likely accompanied a serviceman through deployment and was retained as a personal memento after the war. Clean and well-preserved WWII holsters with named maker marks remain highly collectible-especially when verified as field-used or part of returning soldier groupings....more

"This early-war U.S. WWII pistol holster is stamped ""U.S."" on the flap and ""Boyt -40"" on the reverse, with an unusual non-regulation brass stud replacing the factory closure hardware. This may indicate a field repair or supply depot modification. The leather shows a warm, broken-in patina, with age darkening and light surface wear throughout. Stitching remains firm, and the belt loop is unmodified.

Boyt's 1940 holsters are among the earliest full-production runs for WWII contracts-issued to U.S. Army and Marine Corps personnel prior to America's full-scale entry into the war. This example may have seen duty in pre-1942 deployments or early Pacific campaigns. The custom brass stud suggests soldier-level adaptation, a common practice in field conditions.

Provenance: A veteran bringback....more

"This is a WWII-era German belt buckle issued to members of the Deutsche Jungvolk, the junior branch of the Hitler Youth for boys aged 10 to 14. The buckle is constructed from stamped steel and features the RZM marking ""MA 45,"" which corresponds to one of the authorized manufacturers certified by the Reichszeugmeisterei (RZM), the Nazi party's national quartermaster office responsible for quality control of uniforms and insignia.

The Deutsche Jungvolk was the entry-level tier of the Hitler Youth and played a key role in Nazi indoctrination of children. Boys in the organization underwent paramilitary training, political education, and physical conditioning, all designed to prepare them for eventual entry into the Hitler Youth proper. Buckles like this one were an essential part of the uniform and represent a sobering symbol of how thoroughly the Nazi regime infiltrated youth culture in Germany, turning even simple items like belt buckles into tools of ideological reinforcement....more

"This is an original 1946 edition of Hitleriada Macabra, one of two rare postwar satirical portfolios created by Polish caricaturist and Holocaust survivor StanisÅ‚aw Toegel. Produced in the immediate aftermath of WWII at a Displaced Persons (DP) camp in Osnabrück, Germany, the work was published by Antoni Markiewicz in Celle and reflects Toegel's raw, visceral reaction to the Nazi regime's horrors. The illustrations are grotesque, poignant, and scathingly humorous,distilling the emotional aftermath of genocide and oppression into powerful visual indictments.

"This is an original and highly desirable German WW2 Luftwaffe Officer's First Model Dagger, complete with its original Moroccan leather-wrapped scabbard, aluminum chain, and belt hanger. Maker-marked by Alcosa, the dagger retains its bright, nickel-plated stiletto blade with ""Alles fur Deutschland"" motto cleanly visible. The cast aluminum crossguard features outstretched stylized wings flanking a gilt sunwheel swastika. The grip is wrapped in blue Moroccan leather with a multi-strand silver wire braid and pommel inlaid with matching swastika emblems.

The First Model Luftwaffe dagger was introduced in 1934 as an update to the DLV (Deutscher Luftsport Verband) officer's sidearm, worn by members of the secretive Fliegerschaft before the Luftwaffe's formal unveiling in 1935. These early daggers were symbols of prestige, awarded to commissioned officers and pilot-licensed personnel. While the design changed in 1937, the First Model remained an iconic representation of early Luftwaffe ambition and its roots in Germany's aviation resurgence under Goring's command.

This example shows only light handling wear, with some toning to the silver fittings and minor leather rub to the grip. 100% authentic, it was brought home by a U.S. serviceman and represents an incredibly fine and complete example of an early Luftwaffe dress weapon!...more

"This early WWII NSKK dagger is a wartime-issued example crafted by Gebrüderr Heller of Schmalkalden, whose anchor logo is prominently etched on the blade. The wooden grip, once adorned with an SA emblem, now shows wear from age and is missing its inset roundel. The steel blade remains etched with the full "Alles fur Deutschland" motto and shows signs of extensive sharpening, with some blade material ground down. The scabbard retains an old, possibly period-correct black repaint per NSKK regulation, with surface pitting throughout. Original leather hanger still intact.

"This original WWII Luftwaffe aluminum belt buckle was issued to enlisted men and non-commissioned officers of Nazi Germany's air force. The face of the buckle features the iconic Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika, with detailed feathering and an encircling wreath. The reverse is unmarked, which is consistent with many late-war or mass-produced buckles, and the construction is solid yet lightweight, measuring approximately 2.5" by 2".

The dagger measures a full 16 inches overall, with a 9.5-inch bright blade that retains its sharp point, strong polish, and typical naval fouled anchor motif near the ricasso. The blade is etched and maker-marked with the classic WKC knight's head logo. The handle consists of an ivory-toned celluloid grip over a wood core, with tight wire wrap and minimal toning.

"This is a German WW2 SS Medical sleeve patch, black wool with traditional SS styling, indicating assignment to medical personnel within the Waffen-SS. The piece retains its original backing and stitching style consistent with wartime production. Medical personnel within the SS often served both in field hospitals and directly on the front lines, especially in the harsh campaigns of the Eastern Front. Their insignia was a mix of standard SS rank indicators and specialty patches like this one, which denoted their role in battlefield triage, evacuation, and support. This particular patch comes from the Samuel Presley Nesmith Jr. Collection, part of the Texas Museum of Military History's holdings, further enhancing its provenance and display value.

"This original German WW2 Heer (Army) belt buckle was issued to enlisted men and non-commissioned officers and is constructed of lightweight aluminum, making it a typical early- to mid-war example. The central motif is the national eagle clutching a swastika, encircled by oak leaves and crowned by the phrase ""Gott Mit Uns"" (""God With Us""), a traditional German military motto dating back to the Prussian era. The buckle is in solid condition, showing age-appropriate wear, and was brought home by a U.S. veteran, adding personal provenance to its historical value. These belt buckles were more than uniform accessories-they were visible emblems of loyalty and state ideology.

The phrase ""Gott Mit Uns"" echoed a long-standing militaristic tradition, while the incorporation of Nazi symbology reflected the regime's effort to fuse military authority with political dogma. This piece not only reflects the daily wear of millions of German soldiers but also represents the broader mobilization of nationalism and totalitarian control in Nazi Germany. Vet bring-backs like this were commonly preserved as war trophies, encapsulating personal narratives of World War II service and victory....more
