Original Wwii Army

Original WWII German very late war pioneer backpack for the 3kg charge and smoke candles. This is the middle part of the pioneer pouch set. It is unissued and uses the late war skeleton style clips and the straps are clearly left overs from other equipment, like A frame bags. They also used what looks like recycled Italian gray leather for some of the closures. It is devoid of any markings. I picked this up north of Zwickau in an area that was littered with textile manufacturers during the war. It was found in a local house clean out. I also picked up a number of items from this region, all...

This one does has some light rust here and there but the overall condition is fairly good. The glass liner is intact and the seals are good. I have used one of these to fetch coffee from the field kitchen. It was very effective for that, but you had to ladle it out. I know there should be a simpler way of doing this, but I haven't figured it out, so this is my best option at the moment. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog.   

Very nice, clean, unissued example of a pretty typical WWII German mid-late war Wehrmacht bread bag. It is maybe a little wrinkly and has a slight musty smell from many years of storage, but overall, it is a great example in otherwise great condition. I know there should be a simpler way of doing this, but I haven't figured it out, so this is my best option at the moment. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog.   

Very nice original small size army boots US size 7-8 outer sole 11 1/4 inches long. It has some kind of toe caps, not steel caps but likely hardened leather caps which make it look quite nice. I believe this is original army boots for Non-commission Officiers, not post war reproduction markets from Russia. Because it is not in mint condition but good overall used condition still very wearable for re-enactment occasions. Leather is a bit stiff, need a good shine and wipe of dust from my crawlspace. I collect many German boots and this pair I was told acquired from WWII Italy campaigns. ...

Nice all original WWII German 1L canteen with the original pollopas (Bakelite) cup. The back side shows some dirt and wear, but generally this is a very good looking canteen. There are also a few small holes in the backside of the cover, which appear to be from wood worm/beetles. The bottle is extremely clean and looks like it was probably never used. Ideal canteen for a mannequin. The strap is nice and the leather bottom is not torn, although I would not want to push it too far. Better to just leave it as it is. I know there should be a simpler way of doing this, but I haven't figured it ...
