    Default Is this a real Zeltbahn

    my neighbour was working on his car today and was using something that looked like a zeltbahn to sit on, when i asked him about it he told me the sheets of army fabric where in the garage when he moved in, so it was left over from the chap before him, last but not least i asked him if he likes to sell the zelt to me but he told me that there is no need for him to do so cause he has some more of them and finally he gave me one out of an older crate. i think there where minimum 5 or 6 still in there, maybe i should buy them all i was thinking. but first of all i like to know what it is about these zeltbahn i got. is it real or just rubbish, and one more thing what is a reasonable price i can offer for a zeltbahn
    cant read the stamps very well but i think it says somehow 1943
    thanks in advance

    Too me it's repro B patt oakleaf, buttons not correct, material weave too course and the grommets look wrong, I'm going in comparison to my A type.

    For me, the biggest red flag are the shiny grommets. They should be either a natural type of alloy or else zink, but these look to be new anodized steel. Don't know exactly which one of the many German camo designs this is trying to be, Planetree 1-6, Oakleaf A,B or what, but it doesn't really appear to be any of them. Spearhead Militaria sells these for $89.98 US apiece, so, actually, free is not a bad thing...Hey, they may even be Usable. William

    Lol - I'd take as many as the fellow was willing to give. I'd even offer
    to buy him a few brand new tarps in trade - say, two
    zelts for one new tarp.........!

    One good use for them might be to offer them for sale to the Re-enactor groups. They would certainly be more than interested in them, I would imagine. William
