Panzerschreck shield relic 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
Re: Panzerschreck shield relic 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
Re: Panzerschreck shield relic I have no idea about the loops, but it's a nice piece of kit you got there.
I'm thinking shipping cost here
Regards, Lars

I have a lot Soviet post war and some WW2 items for sale in the Classifieds section. I also have some TR/Soviet helmets and relics for sale.
Re: Panzerschreck shield relic camo, foliage etc? Nice item
If anyone would like a custom piece of artwork for your war room please let me know! I am currently doing A2 sized sketches of a subject of your choice. Either copy an existing picture or create a scene based on your brief. Details in the 'other militaria' section of the classifieds.
I also have a deac Mk1 (1941) Enfield Bren gun & Transit case for sale, mint condition. Also looking for trade offers. UK only I'm afraid.
Re: Panzerschreck shield relic Actually not a bad guess mate.

Re: Panzerschreck shield relic 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!

Re: Panzerschreck shield relic I'm a huge fan of such relics and I like this piece!!
I really like relics... I like them a lot!
Re: Panzerschreck shield relic I like it too. I can only think of camo foliage as well.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Panzerschreck shield relic Could it be these loops are for some kind of carrying straps?
Re: Panzerschreck shield relic I cannot see that, as there are loops for the sling on the 'schreck itself.
Cheers, Ade.
