Militaria Collection

My Kriegsmarine 8 day clock Made by Kieninger & Obergfell.

Kieninger & Obergfell (Known today as Kundo) they are still a big producer of clocks in the Black Forest. Markings: Eagle with swastica and Marine-Nr. 19532, brass case which would have been painted black. ‘N’ for North Sea or 'Nordsee' in German.

A 1943 shell lighter, I don’t think it’s trench art! Maybe someone can give some info on it

A 1943 shell lighter, with it's top off.

A lovely Wehrmacht issue Pipe, it is marked on the stem, ECHT BRUYERE. Which I think means real briar.

A view of the pipes bowl, the bowl seams small to me, maybe it was done that way for rationing.

Ehren-Chronit. This is a photo album that was issued to German troops, to Chronicle there Honours. It is black leather with silver embossed iron cross.

Not the best example of a gas mask, but it was only £30. The guy that sold it to me said it was post war and it’s not! It’s marked fm 44 on the pull down opener, both items tell me its WWII, the date and the opener, the straps are post war though.

Then the inside of the can and the mask it’s self, the can has no other markings so I looked at the mask its self, dated 42 on the side of the casting and the lenses are dated 1944.

So I look inside the spare lens box in the lid and they are dated 45.

Then I look for marks inside the lip of the mask, two lovely waffen amp stamps! So I pay him £30 and toddle of home happy to know I could sell it on for £60.

Cavalry stile K98 Bayonet dated 43 with matching numbers on the scabbard and a 42-dated ridged shovel with its original leather hanger, a hard to find item these days.

This photo shows the marking, Reich’s Kreigsmarine flag size 100x170 and a Kreigsmarine Eagle and swastika.

Wehrmacht 20mm flak shells HE & AP

This is an 88mm high explosive shell; they were used by the flack batteries and the Tiger 1 but most likely, this one would have been a flack shell.

This is an 88mm armour piercing shell, they were used by the 88 Flak when they were used as static anti-tank guns, as well as the Tiger 1. With this shell though, I know it was to be used in a Tiger, because I know where is was found!!

The Tellermine 35 is a German anti-tank mine used extensively during the Second World War.

Height: 76mm; Diameter: 318mm; Weight: 9.1kg; Explosive Content: 5.5kg TNT; Trigger Weight: 90 to 189kg.
