Hello everybody,
this breadbag was recently found in an old house in Luxembourg. Although the construction is similar to a standard german breadbag, the material used is much coarser and resembles the british webbing used during WWII (pattern 37, I think ?).
The manufacture is rather crude and most of the leather pieces used show signs of previous stitching.
I wonder if this breadbag could actually be the result of "recycling" captured british webbing by the germans. The other possibility would be that it was build postwar by a farmer, however, I wonder why someone would take all the effort to recreate something that was readily available at the time.
Has anybody ever seen something like it ?
Thanks for all comments,
Jeff
