Original WWII German small-issue field dressing dating from 1940–1943. These compact bandages were carried in individual first-aid pouches and represent the smaller variant issued alongside the standard-sized Verbandpäckchen. Several available; sale is for one bandage selected at random.
German soldiers were issued personal first-aid bandages as part of their standard field kit. These smaller dressings were designed for rapid treatment of wounds during combat and were typically stored in belt pouches or tunic pockets. Their printed cloth packaging reflects wartime manufacturing variations and resource limitations as the conflict progressed.
The dressings remain unopened with intact cloth packaging. External wear, fading, or darkening varies between examples due to age and storage, but all markings remain visible.
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
