Original German WWII Heer Army M31 Bread Bag in Olive Green Canvas - Service Used

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a wonderful service-used example of an M31 Haversack, also known as the “bread bag”. The bag is complete, with the center strap with the hook on it still retained. The straps, loops, and buttons are all still present and intact, with some crazing and cracking in the leather. The canvas body still has a lovely color to it and is similar in appearance to the tropical bread bags but has leather closure tabs and fittings instead of the iconic webbing. These were brought out later in the war circa 1943-1944.

Overall condition is consistent with moderate use during the war, and possibly afterwards. There is an M.M. marking on the center strap, which we assume are the initials of the owner. Under the flap is inscribed A. Loi… There are some stains and light wear to the fabric, but no tears or holes.

A lovely example presented with some great original canvas. Comes ready for further research and display.
