I need HELP with this code.."Z.D.V.R.K"

[Hans Kristian]

Hello All,

As some of you might know I collect medical stuff.

I have a lot of the pouches that was worn in the belt by sanitäter and krankenträger, they are straight forward most of the time.

BUT I have this problem with a pouch that look like the germans, is constructed almost identical (it is a little bit bigger in overall size) but has a marking I do not know.

On the backside, behind the strap, it is marked with a cross, followed by "Z.D.V.R.K" followed by one more cross. Please see the pictures.

Can anyone help me with this problem..?..I am LOST..

Best wishes,

Hans Kristian
