    Default DRK Medic Bag?

    I recently purchased this Red Cross medical bag and honestly have so many questions about it. I was told that it was German, but that's about all I have to go on. I'm highly skeptical of it being an original WW2 DRK (German Red Cross) bag, but I honestly know nothing about these red cross bags and only bought it because it was a good price It appears to be in good condition, but it certainly has an old smell to it, probably from the ageing leather. The leather appears to be old and the metal is also rusting, so at least it probably wasn't made yesterday There are no markings in the bag, so I'm basically stumped on what era this item is from, and if it even is truly a German piece. Any information is much appreciated!

    Definitely not German issue. Construction is unlike any item they made ( leather / eyelets / split rivets ) none of this style was used. Not saying it isn't period, just not third reich made.

    Its russian war-time bag. I have original soviet case for drum magazine marked 1943 and it has got the same type of leather rivets.

    Awesome! Does it appear to be WW2 issued or perhaps post war?

    It's WW2 production. They didnt use this type of rivets later post-war time. So you have nice soviet ww2 bag.
