German Army Surplus at Keep Shooting
Keep Shooting carries one of the deepest German military surplus catalogs on the US market — authentic gear from the Bundeswehr (Heer, Luftwaffe, and Marine), the Bundespolizei and state police forces, and specialty items from the post-reunification absorption of East German NVA inventory. Our German collection covers the full breadth of modern German military issue: five-color Flecktarn field shirts, pants, parkas, and combat rucksacks, Heckler & Koch G3 rifle parts and aluminum magazines, Walther P1/P38 pistol components, Eickhorn combat knives from the Solingen blade capital, MG42 and UZI/MP2 accessories, German Navy peacoats and deck jackets, Luftwaffe flight caps, Gore-Tex foul weather gear, and dozens of specialty items from one of Europe's largest and most technically respected militaries.
The signature pattern of modern German military surplus is Flecktarn — the five-color (5 Farb Tarndruck) camouflage officially adopted by the Bundeswehr on February 20, 1991, shortly after German reunification. Flecktarn came out of the Truppenversuch 76 uniform trials of 1976, in which five candidate patterns were tested and a variant designated "Flecktarn B" was judged the most effective at disrupting the human silhouette in the mixed forest terrain of Central Europe. After a further test phase between 1987 and 1990, Flecktarn B was approved for general issue across all Bundeswehr service branches. Today Flecktarn is worn by the Heer (Army), the Luftwaffe (Air Force), certain Marine (Navy) units, and the Sanitätsdienst (medical service), and it remains one of the most widely copied and exported camouflage designs in the world. Our German Flecktarn Field Shirt, Flecktarn Camo Field Pants, Flecktarn Parka, Flecktarn Combat Rucksack, MP2 Flecktarn Mag Pouch, and Flecktarn Gas Mask Bag all come from this official issue program.
Our Heckler & Koch G3 parts collection is one of the most complete selections of Bundeswehr-era G3 components available on the US market. The G3 (Gewehr 3) was the standard-issue battle rifle of the Bundeswehr from 1959 until it was replaced by the G36 in 1997, and it remains in service with more than 70 militaries worldwide — making it one of the most successful Cold War battle rifles ever produced. We carry the full spectrum of G3 service components: the HK G3 Stripped SEF Lower (the Safe/Einzelfeuer/Feuerstoß fire-control housing that defines the original-issue trigger group), H&K G3 20-round aluminum magazines, G3 butt plates, cocking levers, rear sight assemblies with all of their matched windage and clamping hardware, buffer springs, hammer springs, sear trip levers, grip screw hardware, the HK G3 Leather Sling, and the HK G3 Blank Fire Adapter. Our German HK Rifle Cleaning Kit is the proper Bundeswehr-issue maintenance set. For collectors restoring a Cetme or HK91/PTR-91 pattern rifle, this is genuine German-contracted hardware from the original production era.
Our Walther P1/P38 pistol parts are equally deep. The Walther P38 was the standard Wehrmacht sidearm of World War II and was adapted after the war as the P1 for the newly formed Bundeswehr — the same mechanism, re-engineered with an aluminum frame for weight reduction, and issued as the standard German officer's pistol from 1957 until the P1 was replaced by the H&K P8 beginning in 1994. The P1 and P38 remain two of the most historically significant 9mm service pistols ever fielded, pioneering the locked-breech short-recoil double-action mechanism that went on to influence virtually every modern combat sidearm. We stock the full P1/P38 parts catalog: firing pins and firing pin locks, firing pin lock lifters, the Walther P1/P38 Left Grip, hammer struts, magazine catches, trigger springs, ejectors, slide stops, take-down levers, cartridge indicator pins, magazine floor plates, manual safeties, and rear sights. Our German Police P7 Holster with Mag Pouch and German Army Leather Walther P5 Holster round out the complementary carry equipment.
Our German combat knives are all sourced from Solingen — the Westphalian blade-making capital that has produced edged weapons continuously for more than 700 years and whose guild-protected cutlery reputation is the German equivalent of Sheffield steel in England. The flagship piece in our collection is the Eickhorn KM 4000 German Military Knife, an advanced combat and field knife designed by Carl Eickhorn Solingen for specialized Bundeswehr units. The Eickhorn FK2000 German Army Field Knife is a companion utility blade intended for general-purpose field use. Our German Army Fighting Knife is the standard-issue combat blade carried by Bundeswehr infantry. Carl Eickhorn & Co. has been producing military-contracted cutlery since 1865 and the modern Eickhorn Solingen operation continues to supply German special forces (including the KSK — Kommando Spezialkräfte) along with NATO-allied militaries worldwide. These are not gift-shop reproductions; they are genuine German military-contracted blades from the same manufacturer that made the K98 bayonets used in both World Wars.
Our MG42 and MP2 (UZI) accessories cover the support-weapons side of the Bundeswehr inventory. The MG42 — adopted by the Wehrmacht in 1942 and continued in modified form by the Bundeswehr as the MG1 and MG3 — is widely considered the most influential general-purpose machine gun design of the twentieth century. Its 1,200–1,500 rounds per minute cyclic rate and its roller-locked action set the template for nearly every post-war belt-fed machine gun, and MG3 variants remain in service with dozens of militaries today. We stock the MG42 Spare Barrel Carrier (the purpose-built quick-change barrel case) and the MG42 Blank Fire Attachment. For the MP2, the Bundeswehr designation for the Uzi submachine gun built under license by IMI from 1959 onward, we carry the UZI Handguard Set, UZI SMG Top Cover, 32-round UZI magazines, and MP2 Flecktarn and G3 Camo magazine pouches. The MP2 was issued to German tank crews, military police, and border guards throughout the Cold War.
Beyond combat equipment, our German collection covers the full daily life of the Bundeswehr. Headwear includes the German Army Side Cap, the Luftwaffe (Air Force) Side Cap, the Air Force Winter Side Cap for cold-weather flight operations, the green and red wool berets worn by various specialty units, the German Winter Cap, and branch-specific Navy headwear. Outerwear spans the German Navy Peacoat (the classic heavy wool naval coat), the German Navy Deck Jacket, the Flecktarn Parka, the German Gore-Tex Jacket and Pants foul weather system, and the German Army Firefighter Jacket from the Bundeswehr's integrated firefighting services. Base layers include the German Army Thermal Underwear set, the Brown Tricot Shirt, the German Army PT Shirt, the White Tank Top, Sleep Shirt, Sleep Pants, Track Jacket, Track Pants, and the Tropical T-Shirt issued for deployment to hot climates. We also carry the German Army Mountain Troop Pants — the distinctive blue trousers of the Gebirgsjäger alpine units — and a broad selection of German police uniform items from the Saxony- Anhalt state police and municipal code enforcement services.
Field equipment includes the German Military Wool Blanket (a heavy-weight Bundeswehr-issue blanket that has been sought after by American outdoorsmen for decades), the German Army 3-Piece Mess Kit, the German Tri-Fold Shovel (NATO pattern — the direct ancestor of the American E-tool), the German Army Y-Straps equipment suspension system, the Reversible Helmet Cover, the Pilot Bag, the Flecktarn Combat Rucksack, the Grenade Storage Box, the Wet Weather Pants Liner, the Overboots, and the vintage RZM-marked Army Soup Bowl (a historical piece marked with the Reichszeugmeisterei quality-control cypher used before and during WWII). Our protective equipment includes the German Army Protective Goggles, Dust and Sun Goggles, and the Garant Protection Ballistic Vest.
German military surplus is one of the highest quality sources of NATO equipment on the US market because of the Bundeswehr's reputation for meticulous equipment maintenance, the world-class German manufacturing tradition behind brands like Heckler & Koch, Walther, Eickhorn Solingen, and HAIX, and the steady flow of legitimately disposed inventory through German government surplus channels.
