Hi guys, I just got one in yesterday with a webbing strap marked Drp.ang/HRE 41. No pics yet, but I guess that's another maker you can add to the list? Greg

Hi Greg, is that all on the metal part of the strap?

hmm.... this one poped up on polish auction yesterday..
hmm... markings look well - the way they are made ..... but it's hard to believe that something like that existed at all... comments ???

1934 ?? ss made.. shouldnt be RZM marked (WHAT YEAR RZM WAS INTRODUCED - 1934 ?? I GUESS)

Hi Jan, yes that is all on the metal clip of the webbing. I'll give you a close up.

I thought it will be on a metal triangle clip at the end of strap - and it's on the buckle - I know this marking - typical for tropical coconut straps

nice Greg !!

one of many variations for paramilitary service like HJ etc... I think... :0
there was few threads on those..
cheers

While there's a good thread going on canteens, I've been trying to get opinions on some canteens I see alsmost daily here in Germany. I posted these once before but I guess it didn't generate much interest. These are always claimed to be HJ by the owners, but look nothing like the examples I've seen accepted as such. Rarely are they marked or dated but I've read this is not unusual for political equipement. So give them a look and let me know what you all think. One more detail the buttons on the covers usually have the same pattern as the buttons on other HJ items. Thanks Greg

Thought I would bring this thread back to life with the addition of a new find. A late '44 dated steel enameled canteen, with a unique green painted aluminum cup.
