An extremely nice example of an AH8005 Spade Grip (more correctly called Ring Grip) as fitted to the Typhoon and Tempest and possibly to nine only, Firebrand aircraft. Complete with the rarely seen control stick top and chain sprocket, the Spade Grip retains a good 99% of the original covering and has a fully functioning and original electric Mk11 gun firing button, with the rotating safe/fire selector operating correctly. The brake lever is however a reproduction and there is no brake catch and no camera gun button which was retro fitted by means of a simple bracket. The camera gun buttons themselves are commonly available. An excellent display piece

A very attractive Luftwaffe Three Medal Bar comprising Iron Cross Second Class, Luftwaffe Four Year Service Medal with early droop tail Luftwaffe Eagle and 1st October 1938 (Anschluss) Commemorative Medal with Prague Bar, all professional mounted on a pin backed bar with blue grey wool backing. The Iron Cross is in virtually mint condition with all frosting remaining, the Four Year Medal is very good with some wear to the silver wash cause by the other two medals rubbing against it and the 1st October Medal and Bar are very good. Rather scarce to find this medal with the Prague Bar.

A quite beautiful example of a privately purchased Schirmmutze (peaked or visored) Cap to an officer in the Panzer Grenadiers. Constructed in a quality field grade wool, this Saddle Form cap has several interesting individual features obviously chosen by a proud owner. Overall condition is very good with just one moth nip on the hat band on the right hand side which I have shown in the pictures. Piped of course with the waffenfarbe of the Panzer Grenadiers, the insignia is the early nickel (German silver) type which had largely been replaced by other metals by the outbreak of war. To enhance the appearance of the eagle the officer opted to have it mounted quite high on the cap and has clearly chosen the maintain a distinctive look by perhaps lightly polishing it from time to time with a resulting slight stain to the material around it. Another indication of its early production is the green wool hat band which were later produced in felt. The Vulkanfibre peak or visor is also a very rare specimen being black to both sides and without the usual cross hatched grip pattern. A known and documented but seldom seen individual choice. Perhaps to match the peak the Cap is lined with a black silk lining with the manufacture’s details of Carl Berg and a 58 size tag remaining well preserved beneath an undamaged sweat shield. Finally, the sweatband is dark brown and free from damage. A most impressive officer’s cap to a rare and desirable branch of the Wehrmacht.
