GERMAN FIELD GEAR
#MI15 DAK / Tropical Camouflage Gas Mask Set
Original WWII German Afrika Korps (DAK) / tropical camouflage canister and gas mask set. The gas mask canister is a pre-war production example produced in 1937. The canister is named to the German soldier who once owned it, the name is painted on under the layer of camouflage faintly visible on the top of the lid. The camouflage paint is a pinking ordnance tan, period applied using a spray gun. At the time of painting, the lid was left closed and the short strap for opening was left in place as it is non-removable and it still has paint on it. The long straps seem to have been removed and re-applied once painted, which makes sense. This type of camouflage paint job was usually done at unit level in theatre for combat operations. The condition is field used and worn, there a rusty spot near one hinge that could be a period repair. The gas mask itself is a typical example in good service used and carried condition, it was with the set when we received it and is likely original to it. Overall, this is an excellent example of an ordnance tan camouflage gas mask set. $1500 *On Hold*

Original WWII German late war Luftwaffe Me109 G/K vertical stabilizer cutout battlefield souvenir. This is one of the wooden examples that is engineered from thin veneers.

Overall, this is one of the best veteran cutouts from a German wartime aircraft we have handled or seen. Ready for any collection or museum. $5200

("Luftwaffe Bekleidungsamt Berlin") marking also appears on a leather strap indicating the Luftwaffe's Berlin Clothing Depot.
