Sorting out some stuff in my boxes , i came across these 3 pairs of FJ grey gloves .
These came from a safe source more than 30 years ago .
i have them forgotten in my boxes for that long ...
3 different sizes picked up in the 10 pairs packs found at that time and often discussed , dismissed sometimes ...
They are real and were found in an Attic in the south of the Czech Republic where a lot of LW logistic was stocked during the war . Not a postwar production .
Captured in May 45 as so many Logistic depots were plundered by the population .
After the war he modified more of them to be sold on the civilian market .
These were part of the left overs , unmodified and still stocked .
Many of them at that time ...
RBNr gives a manufacturer in Esslingen , close to Stuttgart .
Repro of them were made later of course but these ones are original !
