3D Printed Copies of the British WWII Number 77 White Phosphorus Smoke Grenade. These are virtual copies made as one piece so they can be used for display, pouch fillers or thrown at a reenactment.

Priced per item and made on demand so eMail your wants.
3D Printed Copies of the WWII British PIAT Anti-Tank Bomb. In the photos, three original bombs are shown with three of the 3D copies. The one with the yellow band was used for the CAD files in terms of copying the spot welds, seams and type of impact fuze which is the rounded tip style. We did not replicate the tear-off ring that is found on unfired original rounds because they can stand on end for display without it. Likewise the center tube is hollow but a little more narrow on the inside to allow for a stronger wall thickness since they are not made of metal. The hole is made to fit a 12-gauge blank but the tube itself is not strong enough ballistically on its own to contain the detonation. They will still fit perfectly in the cradle of a PIAT provided it is cocked. They are made in one piece and are unpainted. Priced per item. Note: Our tallest capable machine has died so these can no longer be produced. Four 3D printed PIAT rounds remain available at this time and once sold, there will unfortunately be no more.

WWII Period Canadian Soldiers Hand-Made Trouser Leg Weights. These came to us many years ago with a uniform and webbing for a Canadian army soldier. Leg weights were an unofficial practice used by some soldiers to present a much crisper uniform appearance.

These are what you see General Rommel wearing while on campaign in the desert serving as dust goggles. Condition of the eye-shields themselves is unknown since they haven't been taken out of the packages.

Original WWII British and Commonwealth Military Airborne Parachute Drop Container and Pannier Compression Head. Overall size of the main component without being compressed is 16 x 10 inches. Constructed during the war with a wooden base having heavy springs and padding beneath a canvas/burlap cover. The cover has vent holes in the sides and four flaps having securing grommets to allow the unit to be connected onto a container or other bundled drop load. Same purpose of adsorbing much of the landing impact force as the metal crush head that was fitted onto one end of some of the heavier steel drop containers. This example with D /|\ D markings and maker being Windsors of Melbourne, Victoria in Australia. Overall in excellent but dusty condition with the exception of one very small tear denoted by an arrow in one of the photographs.

Original British Military WWII High Power Binoculars With Leather Case. Binocular case is marked Bausch and Lomb, USA. The binoculars which fit the case perfectly are marked Optical Film & Supply of New York but also feature a British Broad Arrow /|\ mark. These are most likely Mark 19 binoculars which were used by both the U.S. Army and by the British Army during WWII. Magnification is 7x50 which is lower by today's standards but 6x35 and lower was the standard for most officers at that time. Having the larger objective lens allowed for collection of more light allowing a crisper image. One lens has some crazing to the internal coating but it doesn't affect the viewed image when using these field glasses. Minor other cosmetic issues such as chipping which is visible in the photos but otherwise a very good pair of optics. Priced to sell since they aren't pristine but have a lot of good serviceable life left in them for reenacting or kit layout.

This seldom seen example is actually unissued with a WWII wartime 1944 date. Wartime example tend to be harder to find since they were used and often disposed of in the field.
