Tent/Zeltbahn Stuff

[Chris Boonzaier]

This is an interesting set, stamped for the 11th Jäger Battalion, which fits right in with the Kassel Maker....

What is interesting is the Green leather work....

[Chip]

Yes, the special Jäger green leather.....

[Chris Boonzaier]

You are kidding right? :-)

At first I was sceptical, but it is period to the bag, no traces of any other sewing or replacing...

[Chip]

Yes, kidding. Thus, the laughing emoticon.....

There should be a black hemp tie-down rope too....if not, it is missing.

I have such a bag marked to the 3.Jäg.Rgt.

​Eric,

The Zelts are from Ireland and the Poles, well, you know where they are from.

1880's shown with the pole as a boiler handle.

Hoss,

Thanks for showing this outstanding set. I've never seen such a complete kit of this pattern. Up to this point, I had only seen battlefield gathered bits and pieces. The photos are nice too.

Thanks Chip my other set didn't have the pegs I added the bag.

I've got complete red/brown bag with contents, but it is with the post-turn-of-the-century pattern poles and pegs.

Just found this one in the basement... a 1893 dated Zeltbahn!
