K98k

    Der Karabiner 98 k und seine Handhabung - The Carbine 98 k and its Handling -
    This 1936 dated manual explains how to properly use your 98 k Carbine, shows proper
    firing positions, causes of jams and how to clear them, and how to use the bolt take-down
    disk in the stock among other things.  This manual was first printed in 1936, but was
    reprinted and used till the end of the third Reich.
    For each pair of pages (as the book lays open), the left page is text explaining the
    associated  picture on the right.  As stated on the front cover, this manual was written to
    supplement the Ausbildungvorschrift für die Infanterie 130/2a, which is the 4" x 6" dark
    blue book for troop instruction commonly seen.
    Slightly dog-eared with minor soiling.  Inside pages are excellent.  The rear cover is loose
    to the edge of the spine (see the picture), the remainder of the cover is still tight and
    securely attached.  There is a 5/8" tear on the bottom front edge of the spine (no paper is
    missing), which is visible in the Cover picture, with some wear on the remainder of the
    spine.  Requests for additional pictures will be gladly forwarded.  Tell me what you'd like
    to see and I'll take a picture or scan.
    Contains 56 sets of text/pictures and is 10mm High x 17mm Wide.  The pictures below are
    in color at high resolution, so they may take a few seconds to view.  
    $150 – includes U.S. first class postage.  Foreign orders are welcome, please contact
    me for additional postage costs.

MG-42

    MG42 Recoil Spring Storage Tube  - This 1942 dated steel tube is a tough item to find
    for the advanced collection.  Rare in any condition, this 13" long tube "Behalter für
    Schleißfeder (MG42)" is as close to new as can be, and still has some storage grease
    inside (no extra charge).  The very small rubs in the picture are the biggest flaws on the
    tube, with only a few other pencil point shiny spots.  There are no dents, and an MG42
    recoil spring fits in just fine.  These were used to store a spare recoil spring in a German
    ammo can.  See Folke Myrvang's fine book on the MG34/42, at the top of page 432 for
    pictures of the MG34 and MG42 tubes.
    I think it's likely that the only other accessory for the MG42 that's more rare than this tube
    is the sheet metal clasp for holding an old style MG42 bolt together while it's stored in the
    belt pouch (no, I don't have one of those for sale).
    $400 - Plus US priority mail postage and insurance.  I managed to sell one on ebay
    before the ebay gestapo cancelled the ad because this is a part for a dangerous assault
    weapon recoil spring.  Foreign orders are welcome, please contact me for additional
    postage costs.  Two remain in stock.

    original collectible at a reasonable price.  These are about 5" w X 6"h when folded.

German
Weapon
Code Book

    German Manufacturing Codes to 1945  - This book was written by Michael Heidler.
    Please contact him directly if you're interested in his book.

    Here is what he had to say:

    Michael Heidler <GGBuch@web.de> wrote:

    Dear friends,
        After many years of waiting and looking for a publisher, my book about the German
    manufacturers codes of WW2 is now finished. Some days ago I got the first package from
    the print shop.
        The book has more than 500 pages, is sorted in two ways (after codes and after
    company-names), contains ALL code systems (abbreviations, number-codes, letter-codes,
    LDO-numbers for medals & insignias and the RZM-numbers for NSDAP- & SS-
    equipment). The official list with letter codes end with "ozz", but I was able to add three
    pages of later codes.
        And the best fact: The foreword and the text is written in German and English!
        The part with the codes is not translated, because there is not much to translate. But I
    have forced the publisher to print the text in English language too. I think it's very important
    to know the background and the development of the code systems. I have found many
    original documents in archives to reproduce the way of the development step by step.
        There will be no commercial distribution to dealers outside Germany, so if someone
    might be interested, I can only send books from me.
        If someone is interested, the price is 35,- EUR in Europe incl. postage.
        To the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan it's 60 USD for a single book
    by airmail incl. postage.
        I have attached some pics!
    With best wishes from Germany

MG3-MG
42 Swivel
Mount
    I have 1 MG mount left.  These are heavy steel swivel mounts that fit the
    MG42/MG3/MG53 series of MGs.  These have a built in recoil absorber and will twist to
    level the gun side to side, beside the usual elevation and traverse.  These are genuine
    German military surplus, often used in ring mounts on armored vehicles.  They're heavy, but
    will fit in a large priority mail box for $13 postage in the continental USA  The pictures
    below will not be the exact one you will receive, but all are in similar condition.  The tape
    on the pin is just to protect it.
    $150 each - plus $13 postage in the 48 states.

Poster

    Sieg um Jeden Preis  - Victory at any price.  Color laser printed on heavy paper.  11"
    x 17" as shown, but without the green circle and lettering.  This is the picture I used for
    ebay, and I edited it so the goons wouldn't delete the ad.  The black caption in English at
    the bottom of the poster is printed on the poster, but could be easily trimmed off if so
    desired.  Comes rolled in a mailing tube.
    $11 each - includes US first class mail.  Additional posters on the same order are
    $8 each (no extra postage charge).

Slope
Indicator

    Deckungswinkelmesser  - Slope angle measurer.  These were used for MG teams to
    determine the angle of elevation (in Mils, not degrees) to a target or to be able to overshoot
    an obstruction.  Rare in any condition, this one is especially nice.  Very little wear to the
    finish, with intact white plastic writing area still attached.  Often, the plastic has shrunk over
    the years and breaks to pieces.  This one has a few corner cracks, and is excellent for its
    age.
    $225 - postage extra depending on address and insurance, etc.
