GreyC Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hi Chris, a specialist from a German WW1 forum (Feldgrau-Forum) identified it as a rare bandolier for Schneeschuhtruppen from Bavaria later also worn by colleagues from Wurttemberg.

Chris Boonzaier Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi, I was told on FB that this was a special bandoleer for the small discus grenades.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello Chris, They looks too narrow to hold a circular shaped grenade . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi, apparently for the small diskus grenades, the larger ones will not fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi, I would still go with special ammo-pouches. The bags for disk-grenades were larger and were carried on the waistbelt. https://www.feldgrau-forum.com/threads/was-ist-das-fuer-ein-ausruestungsgegenstand.31583/#post-127900 GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One collector said the 1913 and 1915 disc grenades are different sizes, this being the smaller one, quite a few are for ammo pouches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
