Oops, thaw this quite late.
Thanks for the Info!
Thought so, but wasn't sure as I only know the long Army ones, but the Clips are typical.

There's three belts for the Fug6 radio on eBay now. One has the shoulder strap, two do not. Different color variations too!

Is this an early Luftschutz Shelter or as the Seller told me, a German Made for the french?

Marked with a Maker from Hof, 1954.

VERY nice!! I have a soft spot for Zelts of any sort, even ones without camo like this. I think it's the first I've seen.

I assume after this they used gray ones similar to BGS?

Hello.
Very interesting thread! Too bad that many of the photos shown hear had been removed for some reason.

I didn't expect any results when searching for "ZB" at the forum but was taught a better one.

I just got a bigger lot of "ZB" equipment from the early 60's. Most of the stuff is in near mint condition.
I'll take some pictures tomorrow at daylight.

Regards, Matthias

Matthias,

Thanks for your kind words about this thread. Collecting ZB artifacts is interesting. The photos that are missing were hosted with a site that now charges for hosting pictures and if you don't your pictures are deleted. As a result, some of the sub forums on the WAF now prohibit members from posting hosted pictures. It definitely is harmful to threads when pictures are not there any more. Looking forward to pictures of your new acquisitions.

Regards,

Gordon

All ZB tent sections in RAL 7008 I am knowing are in the Bundeswehr trapeziod pattern. 1954 is quite early for LSHD/ZB, maybe the early ones were in triangular pattern?

Do anyone has better informations?
