Jock Auld Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Guys, Got this one yesterday. I have never seen one this large, it would fit a 38 to 48 inch waist, he must have been a proper fat lad! Note the attachments for the shoulder strap so it is pre-dates 1939 although this one has no markings that I can see. jock Edited September 20, 2014 by Jock Auld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 It is a beautiful LW Belt. Do you have a tunic to put it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 For sure but it will go into a box as I have no room. jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hello : Erich v Manstein in his book Verlorene Siegen (lost victories ) saids that the shoulder belt was a piece of the leather equipment of the officers introduced by General Heye during his time at the front of the Heeresleitung (1926 1930 ) and the strap was called Hautana the name of a well known manufacture of brassieres . it was abolished during the war with Poland .
