Unknown U-Boat Hoisting Belt (?)

[harrison987]

This came to me with various items that were taken from U-190. It appears to be some sort of lifting belt? Thoughts or ideas? it is KM Marked.

TIA

Correct, but this one is without any Kriegsmarine markings so I think it is the Wehrmacht Nachrichten Bauchgurt.

As per my original post, mine has KM markings (located under one of the straps).

The one that sold on ebay last week (shown in your above photo), did not.

Hello Morton, can you please tell us about the markings, I think they will be the M over swastica stamped in the metal parts indicating the safety check
