Reproductions of two types of combs commonly used during the Second World War. One is a classic black comb styled after the “Hercules” models of the time, and the other is a fine-toothed lice comb. Both were part of a German soldier’s standard hygiene kit.
Soldiers often carried their own combs in hygiene pouches, tornisters, or personal bags. Grooming wasn’t a matter of vanity—it was essential for maintaining cleanliness and managing lice in field conditions.
The lice comb is compact and lightweight, ideal for removing lice, nits, or for fine grooming. Easy to carry and practical, it remains one of those simple but essential tools in any realistic WWII personal effects setup.
Hercules was a respected German brand with a long history in comb manufacturing. Their high-quality grooming tools were widely used by both civilians and soldiers before and during the war.
The black comb is inspired by wartime Hercules designs, which were known for their high-gloss finish and durability. While original models were typically made from hard rubber (ebonite), this reproduction is made from modern plastic but preserves the historical look and proportions.
