No Auction This Week
We here at Covey Surplus have been working hard on a large backstock of inventory while also spending some much needed cleaning up time. Therefore we are skipping the dress auction this week. Next week it will resume along side a new collectible auction.
Everything East German
Here at Covey Surplus we are striving to become that "One Stop Shop" for anything and everything East German. From hundreds of different shoulder boards, emblems, uniform pieces and more. If we don't have it, we know where to find it.

Let customers speak for us
I was looking for Soviet EO-16 filters to complete a Soviet ShMS gas mask kit. I couldn't find a single listing on eBay or any other store front for them. But when I thought all was lost Covey showed up in the google search result. I managed to snag 3 EO-16's for $6 per filter, which is an insane deal. Items were shipped quickly, I'd highly recommend this store and I check it occasionally for any new surplus they have.
Whoo wee this set is CRISP. As advertised, in fantastic condition, absolutely no complaints there. Top fits like a dream, but the bottoms are a touch tight, so my only guess is Russian sizing must be tough to translate to US. I'm a 36" currently, these are 52-5, or roughly 38", yet fit like a 34". At any rate, first bit of Russki surp, so, mega stoke regardless. Pattern plays tricks on the eyes. Certain light, definitely looks pink/grey. Other lights, seems almost green and brown.
Ordered a size G48 (5'11 160lbs or 181cm 73kg) and it fits about perfect. Good for summer wear, considering it's unlined. I did have to cut open some of the button holes, but otherwise it looks great.
Do it, I didn’t know I wanted some of the items but I did! Got east german and Austrian stuff that is actually super useful!
A lil small but that doesn’t matter. I was able to stretch and re-dye it back to it’s fieldgrau coloration before replacing the ventilation eyelets. Instant 10/10 for German quality
Sure looks like a doughty and desirable garmet, if only one were able to figure out how to order an appropriate size?
Got an sph-4 helmet shell, something around 66, not too bad, plan to restore it to some degree too, overall I'm pretty happy with it.
