Unknown equipment???

[Explorer]

I once found this in an old chest. There was other interesting material in it but this I almost threw away since none of my collector buddies have ever seen such a thing and neither did I.






But today I was searching through this forum and found this very interesting picture in the Heer equipment reference thread. It says it's a Pioneer / Artillerie equipment. Very similar to one of my parts.




Any ideas???

The "artillery pioneer" item IMO looks like a bag for carying anti mine pennants.
But I am not an expert.
Maybe check out the topic below.

Explorer, The two larger bags look like something to tote uniforms in.....Place uniform inside, fold up, and they have a handle to carry.....Bodes

Completely wrong

Who would use such "bags" to carry uniforms around and why are they so rarely seen that this seems just like a theory and not a fact? Mine also doesn't have a buckle like that. It doesn't have a buckle at all.

Indeed, the bag for carrying mine pennants is wider at the top. But if you compare mine and the other one I posted that is supposed to be a part of Pioneer equipment they are very similar.

I hope I'll get to the bottom of this why this was for.

The picture I enclosed is supposed to be a German bag.....I didn't say yours was German.....In fact they look American, especially the one on the right in your photo....The handle looks identical to one I have that was from a WW2 US Marine Corps officer.....Bodes
