GERMAN MILITARIA
Old Military Souvenirs - 3rd Reich Collectibles - German Militaria and more!
I've always liked old things, including military souvenirs from WWI & WWII. I started collecting miliaria when I was a kid. I collected everything at first but later I focused mostly on German helmets, field gear, binoculars, hats, caps, tunics, overcoats, insignia, buckles, medals, badges, etc. Militaria from all countries is interesting but German items have always been among the most impressive and they are always of high quality. No wonder WWII veterans kept so much of it for souvenirs!
Descriptions - I try to give good basic descriptions and photos but if you need more info or photos, let me know. All items below are original period items to the best of my knowledge unless otherwise stated. I have some postwar and civilian items but not enough to make different sections for them so I list it all here.
Prices - Some prices may seem a bit high but keep in mind, most prices include the shipping and Paypal's fees. Also, If you've been collecting very long, you know that German militaria always increases in value with time! It never goes down in price! There are more new collectors entering the hobby every day while there are only so many original items still available in the world to be had and they are becoming much harder to find and purchase. Most of these things I'm offering here have been in my collection for a long time, some as long as 30 years. Although I don't collect any more, I am not in a hurry to sell everything fast. I'm simply offering it for sale to the world. If it seems too expensive today, it won't be later!
I offer a 3 day inspection period. If you are not satisfied with an item, let me know within 3 days that you are returning it.
If the item is returned in the same condition, I will refund your payment minus the Paypal fees.

MP-40
A nongun, A legal nonfunctional matal display model with moving parts
This is one of the older MP-40 models made by "MGC" Model Gun Company starting back in 1968. It was used in many WWII reenactments in the 1980's and has a nice character from use and age. There is some rust and minor scratches and nicks as you can see in the photos but in my opinion that's what makes it look so realistic and old. It's perfect for a historic display or for us on a mannequin. Everything works properly on it except the flip up sight seems to be stuck. The folding stock is nice and snug when locked into the outer position as well as when folded up. No cracks in the gripps or hand guard. The bolt moves, and releases with the trigger and the mag is removable. The barrel nut has a hole in it that was for a screw but it is stripped out. The hole should be on the bottom but the barrel nut turns a bit too far. A proper washer would make the nut stop with the hole to the bottom but I don't have one to fit it. Or you could possibly full the hole with putty or something. The strap is a modified WWII G98 strap. The newer versions of these are cheaper but they don't look as authentic as this older example. Price $450. FREE Shipping in the USA! Sorry No Overseas Shipping On This Item. ON HOLD

MP-44 - StG-44 German WWII assault rifle - Nongun
A legal nonfunctional example made from a real WWII German weapon
This WWII German assault rifle is a 100% legal and non functional collectible. It is made from an original WWII weapon but the receiver has been replaced with a solid aluminum receiver so that it cannot chamber or fire a round. It's 37 inches long and weighs about 8 pounds with the ma g. The stock and sight may not be original but I believe the rest of it is original 3rd reich issue. Marked on the side of the pistol grip housing "WaA21" from (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik A.G., Geislingen-Steige, Baden-Württemberg) The stock has the number "4255" on the underside. The mag is marked "gqm" , "MP-44" and "WaAA98 from (Loch & Hartenberger, Metallwarenfabrik, Jdar-Oberstein, Rheinland-Pfalz) it also has an eagle. There is an "E" marked on the top sling swivel mount. The sling is a postwar conversion I added. The trigger, selector switch and safety function properly, it has the ejection port dust cover. Also the sight hood and the thread protector on the end of the barrel. I've removed the stock before but it is very tight and hard to get off. This is a really beautiful display piece and a real conversation starter. It has an obvious quality and the character of age that none of the repros can ever possess. $2400. FREE Shipping in the USA.

WWII German Bayonet A
This one has seen a lot of use and wear but is solid. The bayonet is made by Hörster and has bakelite grips which are in good condition, the blade looks like it's been through a lot but has never been sharpened. The sheath is equally worn and has some dents. The frog is not too bad, a lot of wear but solid. The numbers are not matching but judging by the overall wear to all 3 parts, they appear to have been together since WWII.
$180. SOLD

Not matched but very nice condition. The bayonet is a "cof" with Bakelite grips which are in excellent condition, the blade beautiful and untouched.

Old German Bonds
1922
|
These are original German bonds that were issued in 1922 and were supposed to be redeemed in the mid 1930's but with the depression and Hitler. The citizens who invested into these bonds lost everything. After Germany's reunification, some German bonds became valid again and the German government honored them but not this type. I've had these since about 1967. These are an affordable collectible from Germany history. Nice quality and sharp details, printed on bonded paper that has the letters "RSV" watermarked throughout the design, (Reichs Schulden Verwaltung) (The Reichs Loans Administration) Each bond has its own serial number and is hand signed by one of various authorized representatives of the Reichs Loan Office. A large Imperial German Eagle and fancy dark green border really makes these bonds attractive! They are pretty impressive and look great in a frame and make a nice gift!
Size (8" X 9 1/2") $15 and $20. each

CIVIL WAR STATUE
Old Bronze plated hollow zinc statue of a Northern Civil war soldier or Indian wars period soldier in a battle setting. Its 12 Inches tall. The base says "ARMY" No other markings. This is a beautiful old statue but it has some damage. The rifle is broken on both ends and a piece of the visor is missing. A sad shame but it's still impressive and has a lot of feeling as a piece of art. The broken but stock on the ground is not from the rifle in his hands, it is part of the casting as scattered battlefield debris, it goes well with his broken rifle though. If not damaged, I would value this piece at $250. or more but as it is, $90. Free shipping in USA.
