Fritz Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Nice set does justice to the item. Make sure no rust gets at them, maybe better to store textiles separately. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung Spitfire! Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 On 14/08/2019 at 03:43, Gildwiller1918 said: Here is a WW2 German M38 Gas Mask and carrying case. Probably one of the more iconic parts of the german field gear. This case is dated 1943. The mask is dated 1944. I got the mask from a museum that was closing down, it has never been used, only on display. Also shown is the aluminum gas mask retainer frame. These were used while in garrison to help stretch the masks to the shape to be worn. Also shown is a skin decontamination tablet container. Seriously nice piece of kit 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 On 14/08/2019 at 20:59, Gildwiller1918 said: Here is a nice "Y" Strap set. The stamp is hard to see in the pictures, but reads Mainz 1942, there is something before Mainz that starts with a C or G, but it is too diffcult to make out. These seem to be getting real hard to find in good condition and not faked. Carl Zübke, Mainz - looks like the manufacturer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Found some poles for the zeltbahn, nice condition and well marked. Just need the stakes and carrier bag. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Zeltheringe are the steel pegs, Zeltzubehörbeutel is the bag. I have a WW1 bag, this was hung within the Tornister. The Tornister was only a formal old-fashioned piece of equipment, after WW1 seldom worn in the field. I don't know how the tent poles etc. were carried without this. In WW1 there was an alternative in place of the Tornister, the Sturmgepäck (not shown here), which was a clever improvisation using 2 Brotbeutelriemen for carrying the Zeltbahn, Mantel, Kochgeschirr etc. which was hooked to the cartridge pouches at the front and then fastened at the back, "leichtes Sturmgepäck", this idea evolved just before the outbreak of WW1. Link below is a guide as to how the set is packed (in English), however, there are some variances, as a mixture of reproduction items, originals and similar Swiss or other European items are used, resulting in the pack not being closable. https://www.ir63.org/packtornister.html 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Well I finally found a decent WW2 Tent pole carrier or Zeltzubehörbeutel. It has both leather straps and buttons. There is a faint stamping on the inside of the flap, but its hard to make out. Most of the ones sold here are the Swiss version being sold as German versions. I just need some nice tent pegs to go with it and a rope. The tent pegs can be hard to find in really good condition. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 I finally found a couple of decent tent pegs or Zeltpflöcken. Typically 2 were issued with each kit. Now I just need some rope to put on them. These are the aluminum types and have some nice dates and markings on them. The markings are: S & C 39, GA 38, and looks like A W/O R 40. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 These last ones are Zeltheringe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 I was wondering if I got that right. Thanks Fritz. I have been looking for some nice ones for awhile now. There are so many fakes out there and reproductions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
