Re: Unidentified kit bag
Possibly a bread bag, any stamps or markings on it?

Re: Unidentified kit bag
Thanks for the input guys very much appreciated!
Unfortunately there are no visible markings inside or out or on the buckles. However the inside is spattered stained a sort of dark muddy brown, almost the type you get from something viscous and sticky as well as some light oil stains nearer the bottom.
The measurements are aprroximately 11"(280mm) x 13" (330mm) x 4" (102mm)
That is very interesting Dimas, with a little help from Google I too found the same fabric on STG pouches

Kradman do you think it is perhaps made postwar by civilians from German cloth stocks?
EDIT
I found THIS photo from an old clothing bag ebay sale, it is similar but the lid is rounded, there is no handle on top and straps looks stitched on.

Re: Unidentified kit bag
Hey Loosewire, the fabric itself may be of TR origin, but the leather parts, buckles, rivets and the way the whole thing is put together doesn't look TR to me at all. Germans had their stuff mostly stitched together, not riveted, and they did not use metal parts with shiny finish on any military stuff.

Re: Unidentified kit bag
From the way it is riveted could even be Finnish army made i have seen this alot in Wartime and postwar Finnish tool bags etc ,You find sometimes just after the war in Germany bags were made from whatever cloth was around ,sorry i cant help you more
