122-40 Coded MP38 Magazine Loader – Rare Early Variant
For sale is a rare and highly collectable MP38 magazine loader, manufactured in 1940 by C.G. Haenel and marked with the early wartime “122-40” production code an eagle over 37 Waffenamt. This example is particularly noteworthy because it lacks the later "MP38. u. 40" stamp, identifying it clearly as an original MP38-specific loader from the early production period.
The loader is in very good condition, with only minor signs of use and age. All mechanical parts are intact and functional, making it a great piece for both collectors and historical displays. These early loaders are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in this condition.

MP40 Tropical Sling – Rare Canvas Variant
For sale is an original MP40 Tropical sling – an exceptionally rare variant of the standard MP40 sling. Made from durable canvas instead of leather, this version was designed for use in hot and dry climates where traditional materials tended to wear out quickly.
Although commonly associated with the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK), this sling was not exclusive to desert use and saw wider distribution in various theaters where tropical or harsh conditions demanded more resilient materials.
These slings are extremely scarce today, especially in well-preserved condition. A true collector’s item for those interested in field gear variations and MP40 accessories.
