I picked up a bunch more MG34 stuff, about a truck load to be exact and there were some odd stuff in there I am wondering about what they are and values.

I know the Aluminum can on the far left is a Fallschirmjäger MG34/42 can is a 1939 date they are $150 ish if I am correct?
The middle double can I have no idea what it is has BSU 1938 on it
The Trommel Carrier and Drums if I am correct are original with black paint and post war are green.
Soaker Can no idea these even existed till now
Double MG34 barrel carrier
Original small gunners kit, has the wrenchs, broken shell extractor and all in it as well

Any additional info or a rough value would be great, not looking to sell mainly just for my inventory sheets.

Thanks!http://s14.postimg.org/y01jahdm9/image.jpg

The contents and design of the gunner's pouches evolved over quite a few years starting with their use with the MG13s. Depending on the date of the issue, the MG34 and 42 pouches held different items. Generally, for the MG34, the contents were as follows:

 

Bolt

AA sight

Hot barrel pad

Broken case extractor: several different types

Small plastic "flowers of sulphur" container (now very rare)

Oil can: several different types

Muzzle cover; either rubber cap or small bags

Chamber cleaning brush or tool

Starter tab for belt

 

Usually the pouches in the US were incomplete and had to be brought up to having correct contents for the period of use of the pouch.

Hope this helps.
