maker marks, names, regiment marks, dates and patterns on Zeltbahns

[Sonnenwende]

That one is just amazing. One of a kind!

Is this an experimental version, or perhaps an error in the printing? It seems if it were an error, it would have not become a finished zelt. Is the stamp a depot stamp? A beautiful zelt nevertheless!

Hard to tell if this is just color error later approved to use (while filling cartridges with paint - green paint used twice) or done on purpose, or maybe even lack of brown paint at the moment and not wanting to stop the production.....there are many possibilities and not many answers till now

Hi,
Just marking from the maker Otto Sindel 1933

……….and just when you thought zelts were boring …………….WOW - damn Marcin - that is one sweet zelt. I could list 20 words of astonishment to describe it.

Where in the world did you find that?
Is it maker marked?

Unsure which depot the E represented……... Erfort? I have one with an E depot stamp and always wondered which one it was.

I think that makes 2 green version zelts you have now - one the pistachio colour way and then this.

Cheers

Looks like a beautiful early Oak A Jan - great score. You always seem to find these super little gems. Love the photos - really shows how the ground colours coincide and blend in nicely with the base forest tree colours.

Thanks
Mark

Yes Mark, it is a recent one, it came together with this one, no markings and having some repairs on it.

I would say Erfurt 1939

So you say B33 is early, right ?

Check this little stamp Is it possible at all ?

Beautiful green zelt Marcin.
That's my new example. Standard german M31 pattern, but italian - telo mometico - camo material.

Well well well Marcin.

If that is an original B30 stamp and it looks to be, this one is another amazing piece for your collection. The patent for this camo pattern was applied for at the end of '29 and granted mid '32. This must be one of the zelts made for field trials which were taking place in (possibly in '29) '30 and '31.

So yes it is possible to see a B30 or B31 depot stamp and this the first time Ive seen one.
Nice grouping of accessory stamps with it as well.
Cheers

Hi Michel
Great minds must think alike - I did a very similar grouping setup about a month ago for the book to show the colour variants. Actually, I was a little shocked when I first saw your shot - Hey, how did my grouping shot get on the WAF when I only sent it to Werner!!!!!!!!!!

It makes for a nice photo showing some of the variants - nice zelts you have there.
Cheers

Grouping setup take a view about differences, but unfortunatelly all my splitter-pattern zelts are standard...maybe not , 2 are "big heads". But no "open wave", no COD, no 4-parts, no one with transverse button holes, no bakelite buttons. Eehhhh, "never endig story"...
