    Are these Kradmelder leggings?

    Are these kradmelder leggings, and are they original WWII? Also what is the correct name or term for these?

    Thanks

      These are civilian, with added fake markings. The Wehrmacht never had simular ones.
      Correct german would be "Beinlinge" or "Beinschützer"

        I agree...added bogus stamps to German leggings of unknown origin...
        Wehrmacht motorcycle troops wore the schutzmantel which could be wrrpped and buttoned around the legs to serve as protection +boots, making such Beinschutzer overkill!
        (topic belongs in the equipment section of the forum btw, maybe that's why it received little response)

        Btw "Prym" snaps were also exported (like zippers) and o could end up in foreign made equipment as well...(foreign nation army?)

          Thanks guys. I have a photo in my collection which I thought showed a kradmelder wearing a set of these, but upon further review, I was wrong.
