Chris Boonzaier Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Here is a scarce Prewar Navy groundtroops Brotbeutel but made during the war and with depot stamps from 1916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Here, courtesy of Emig Versand, is the later model, with 2 leather closing tabs hidden and on the side, but still with the canteen in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Eric, You should sell this stuff to your collector friends for a fair price. With on-line auctions it's a crap shoot, especially for gear. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Chris, That's an unusual shoulder strap configuration on your bag. I had not seen this. All other ones I have seen have the clips for the removable shoulder strap. Here are my two. I have the navy pattern shoulder straps for both.

Chris Boonzaier Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hi, the strap seems to be a homemade/frontmade job. It buttons into the holes of the beltloops. If you unbutton them you can close them and have a regular brotbeutel, or open them and button the strap on. I am going to display it without the strap... or maybe trade it with the strap as marine is not really my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Chris I just sold my early job and got crap for it anyway here are the pics somebody pray tell me why its worth buggerall in America? At dealers in Germany they seem to be just over EUR300, I am not sure if they actually get that money. I guess they are pretty damn scarce, but that does not always make a premium price...

Hoss Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I apparently screwed up the ad as well offering free shipping I ended up with about 15 bucks after fees, it hurt but I hope the new owner enjoys it I thought those navy straps were rare? It's one of the earliest dated items I've ever owned, anyway whatever. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
