RFNr. marked Y-Strap and late war black Pressstoff MG pouch

[me6_130]

The presstoff maker is identified as "Campana" (complete logo shown on the posts below),

I would say the maker is Capama... not "Campana" (bell in Spanish)


Seems tha maker still exists: August Bünger Bob-Textilwerk KG GmbH & Co

or it existed till last year:

Hello Philipp,
It seems fairly conclusive from the other posts that these were very late-war produced. The presstoff maker is identified as "Campana" (complete logo shown on the posts below), and the maker "epf" is a known 3 letter code (Karl Böcker, Waldbröhl, Rhld., 1944, WaA195)

Hi Mike,
thank you for your feedback and the photos.
Good to see that we have the same opinion about these pouches.

Cheers,
Philipp

great ystrap....just out of curiosity, how that the hook of the backstrap look like? Latewar wire one?

Here you go, Daniel.
It has a "normal" hook.

Prestoff pouch

Hello again,
I'm glad someone else brought up the thread with my "epf 1945" pouch made from material also manufactured by "Capama".
Whatever the reason of the rivets was, I tend to go along with the idea that the holes were punched early on and then blanked off with rivets when the decision was made to leave the inside blank.
They obviously did fit the inner pieces in 1945, as the "fuq 1945" pouches prove, but they're just as practical with the empty space.
They crop up regularly on dealers' lists but, apart from the ones on this thread, I've not seen another "Capama" example up for sale.
I would steer clear of anything with the "SS Runes-in-a-diamond" mark which I've seen decorating a K98 with similarly-stamped Zf41 and an MG42!
Be happy with yours.
All the best,
Grossfuss

I believe there are a few similar ones (very cardboard looking) for sale on Willem Duijst's Tarnmilitaria site......http://www.tarnmilitaria.com/?product=8506. I think the brown strapped version is sold however: http://www.tarnmilitaria.com/?product=6646 (or maybe that's the one we've been looking at

Hello again,
Looks like it's worth hanging on to, at least yours has a super material maker's mark and 1944 date inside!
All the best,

Thank you, mate.

K.P. Emig had a similar one in stock - unfortunately without markings but with brown leather fittings.
