Hi All,
I'm just after a little advise in regards to bread bag colour,
I'm looking to replace a cheaper version which i got to get started with my German kit late last year.
my kit is standard Heer (European), i have seen there are multiple colours available (tan, green, grey etc.).
Any help welcome.
Regards
John
They seem to come in a real range of colours, all of which I think are fine. Mine is from Richard Underwood http://www.richardaunderwood.com/bread-bag-repro/
This is a good reference http://www.mp44.nl/equipment/breadbag.htm and shows an example of the range of colours.
German
Russian
British
Japanese
Thanks for the help guys, some good links,
It would appear then that throughout the war the German military used a mixture of colours.
Thanks again for the help
Yes, a grey or green one with leather fittings will do for most of the war. It is a good idea to dubbin the leather fittings like crazy, as the straps can split otherwise.

as Martin says ,treat the leather with some dubbin as its always dry as a bone , a bit of staining of the fabric around just adds to weathering so yo needn't be overly careful with the dubbin.

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
You can't go wrong with Underwood's - and at £12, it's a bargain.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Yeah it did seem a good option, so I've just bought one from there today, I head of them on the grapevine, I take it they are pretty reputable as a store!? They have an entrenching tool on there I may well consider getting also
Yes, very reputable.

Ditto. A fair bit of my stuff is from RAU (including my e-tool).
