Original German political bread bag, produced in Vienna (Wien) and dated 1942. This mid-war example features the single attachment loop and ring configuration unique to political and paramilitary organisations such as the NSDAP, SA, and NSKK. Constructed from olive-brown canvas with leather reinforcements and aluminium fittings, it retains all buttons, D-rings, and straps intact. The internal flap is clearly marked “Wien 1942” alongside the manufacturer’s stamp, and it bears the faint ink name of its original owner.
Political organisations in wartime Germany, including the SA (Sturmabteilung) and NSKK (National Socialist Motor Corps), were equipped with distinct field gear closely modelled after Wehrmacht issue items. Bread bags such as this were part of their standard marching equipment, used for rations, documents, and personal effects. By 1942, resource adjustments led to simplified but still high-quality production from major supply hubs like Vienna, a key centre for uniform and equipment manufacture.
Excellent condition for age, showing only minor service wear. Canvas remains firm and retains its original colour. All leather fittings are intact and supple, with clear stitching and legible markings. A particularly fine mid-war political issue example, highly suitable for advanced collectors.
ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED ORIGINAL PERIOD PIECES.
Did a lot of comparing before buying and ended up here. Item turned up exactly as pictured, which honestly is all I ask for these days. Packaging was solid too. Would buy again.
You can tell this is someone who actually handles and studies the pieces. I respect that.
Not my first militaria purchase, but probably the first time I didn’t feel like I had to “decode” the listing. Straightforward, clear photos, realistic condition notes. That alone earns trust.
What I liked most was the way the history was presented. Factual and clearly written for collectors instead of glorifying anything. That matters to me.
Bought one piece initially just to test the waters. Ended up placing another order a week later. That should say enough.
Everything arrived on time and matched the listing. No drama, no excuses, no surprises. That’s increasingly uncommon with online militaria.
First time ordering from overseas and I was a bit hesitant. Communication was great, shipping was fast and the item arrived in the condition shown. Very good!
I collect mainly German pieces and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the description was. Nothing overstated, nothing hidden. Kind of rare now. Very happy with the purchase.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one felt deserved. Honest listing, fair price, no nonsense. The piece now sits proudly in my collection. Thanks Mr. Taylor
