Scrolling through millions of scrappy auctions I stumbeled over an auction advertising a whole collection ... some scrappy pictures, no further information. Some grey stuff in the pictures ... all with one unit emblem looking as 5th Panzerdivision. Boots, helmets, fieldgear and olive green cloth ... . Starting at 1,- €. Three days later still no bid, then the auction disapeared ... .Contacted the seller askeing what happened. To my wonder he replied ... and did not remove it for a external bid, he just feared that all the stuff would go for only 1,- . As it was just 1 hour to drive I made a visit for the next day....
The stuff turned out as mostly coming from a guy serving in PzGren Brigade 13 between the early 60ies and the late 80ies. The jackets ranged from a "Affenjacke" for a Leutnant to a late 80ies dress jacket for a Major. Most of the fieldgear was also from this guy .... plus some things from other source as a 1936 made Sturmgepäck or Wehrmach origin ...
O.k., I paid more then 1,- ... but my sedan was filled up a little. And here a little preview ...
