Anthony03 Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Greetings all- I bought a large amount of militaria a while ago and this was in the box. The leather is extremely brittle and the only marking is a XXX on the buckle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Alf Boyley
Anthony03 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Posted October 18, 2016 Chris - Many thanks, it could well be. It was in the box with this Schutstruppe Bandolier from South west Africa (SOLD) - Cheers Alf
peter monahan Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 I agree: Great War German. For me, the strap with the clip is the diagnostic mark.
Anthony03 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Posted October 18, 2016 Thank you Peter -Much appreciated. Cheers-Alf
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Hi, Its interesting to see the Schutztrupp Bandollier fully addapted for the SA forces or SAP post WW1. The little Buckle where the Bayonet Frog has been adapted for the Lee Enfield Bayonet for instance. Best Chris
Anthony03 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Posted October 19, 2016 Hi Chris - Yes, I was very lucky to find that rig. A very rare item in that condition.It has the Schutztruppe stamp on the inside. Cheers-Alf
