Hi Friends

this my collect zeltbahn WH.

Some photos







The model 31.

Appeared from 1935 he(it) contain mainly buttons alu. The model 31 has 4 tints of camouflage. The most known the version has grey bottom









Then the received mle 31 its 1st modification in 1941. Copies oeuillet are present but begins has etre produced zamac. has another coeducation with buttons there alus and zamac




Then and appeared the " big change " has to leave the end of 43 the beginning of 44. To save oeuillets we do not put it more than one.
Of more the production of pure and untreated steel button is thrown
Mle 44.


RBNR PRODUCT 1943



During year 44 is decided of got back all that he(it) is possible cloth zeltbahn. it is for that that on models 44 of the numerous collars(passes) and borders are made with another cam.

The quality of the impressions appeared in 1944 as well as the employment(of cotton poorer contrived tissue.
The model at the war end. Appearance in September, 44.
We re-know him by the bottom tres clear, his quality of fabric tissue very average, spots of impressions badly and pure use of buttons in metal, bakelite wood and boiled cardboard.
2 models who are presented to you were never used. it result directly from stock of clothing. The only thingon the which I have no answer it is that almost all the fine models of war has absent carnations(eyelets)...

Hey Kurtzmann,
I never knew just how complex the development of the Zeltplane was!
I have two - I'm going to look at them more closely now to see where they fit in to production.
Thankyou so much for a great explanation.

Cheers from Australia,
Dan
