Original Wwii Army

   Up for sale is an incredibly preserved piece of WWII history-an original German military medical first aid box (Verbandkasten). This is an authentic, untouched attic find discovered in an old house here in Courland (Latvia), right from the historic area where Army Group North made its final stand. The condition of this field gear item is truly exceptional. It retains its original field-grey (feldgrau) exterior paint with a clearly visible red cross and "Verbandkasten" stencil text.

   New old stock WWII German blue sport shorts with an approximately 35 waist. These have been folded since they were manufactured. Still complete with the paper tag. The overall condition is very good with a little light staining from storage on the back along fold lines which I tried to photograph, but it is quite hard to see.

There was a large variety of patterns and colors and materials used but blue ...

Most prominent is the half curved markings "HERMAN KAUFMAN" and below it BERLIN N.
