Panzerschreck shield relic

[Danmark]

Just got this Panzerschreck shield in from a Latvian digger. In relic condition but still solid, it is only missing the top glass hinged cover ( I guess the bottom cover was for a spare? ) and the latch is broken off ..... but for a piece of tin to have survived this well, I'm chuffed to own one. You don't see a lot and guess there is even less here in the southern hemisphere?

Question is - does anyone know what the loops were for?
I haven't seen a photo where they are in use.

Thanks, Dan

I HAVE to bump it up again - surely someone knows what the loops were for????
There has been MUCH discussion on "schrecks" here in the Past - Ade has one and so do others.......

Cheers, Dan

I have no idea about the loops, but it's a nice piece of kit you got there.
I'm thinking shipping cost here

camo, foliage etc? Nice item

[Datrus]

Actually not a bad guess mate.

[Danmark]

Thank-you guys, that seems a logical explanation.

Many things have brackets fitted that never actually get used and then the reasons for there existence is lost forever. ........ this may well be one of them!

Cheers, Dan

I'm a huge fan of such relics and I like this piece!!

[Adrian Stevenson]

I like it too. I can only think of camo foliage as well.

Cheers, Ade.

Could it be these loops are for some kind of carrying straps?

[Adrian Stevenson]

I cannot see that, as there are loops for the sling on the 'schreck itself.

Cheers, Ade.
