On much the same spirit of acquisition as Gadge, my good lady's father gave me two '37patt small packs (1942 and 1943, one blanco'd "sand" and one un-blanco'd). A set of '37patt cross straps (one each, attached to each small pack), a set of '37patt L-straps (found attached to the un-blanco'd small pack), a blue enamelled water bottle complete with felt sleeve and '37patt skeleton holder (1942) and a few spurious '44patt straps.
Also bought two '37patt belts, one blanco'd black and one blanco'd white. Both blanco'd very well (not painted). 50p each from Derby's finest carboot sale!

Got these bits over the last few weeks -
* Pair of Swiss Ski Goggles, for a German 'Mountain'-esp impression that I'm trying to put together >
Have seen these listed as German goggles but I believe that they are of Swiss manufacture and issued to Italian Mountain/Ski troops; not beyond the realms that the German troops would have 'acquired' some or something similar though ... ??
* 1950's Swedish Snow Smock - will be dying this grey to use as a 'Winter'/'Mountain' smock
* DDR Buckle - same 2-prong fitting as wartime, but cheaper
* EM belt from Epic - more cherry-brown/red than Lufty brown, but will colour it black anyway
* Full metal 1911 Springer, as discussed in the 'Radom' holster thread - have yet to use it in anger but seems fine, although it obviously wasn't looked after by the previous owner. Has a large reserve for bb's in the mag (as there's no gas storage requirement) - unlikely to be firing 100+ bb's through the 1911, but a useful reserve to fill a couple of AEG lo-caps from, without having to carry additional bb's

Splinter pattern winter parka from Epic. Probably not "correct" for most games but lovely and warm, and on open days, who cares ? 
A large package of Russian kit. Don't get too excited though folks its mostly modernish.
Have just picked this up... for my collection of German things that go bang.
