Jaeger as to your questions concerning this bread bag IMO it is an early post war example to the best of my knowledge there were no pre war or war time examples with said internal dividers.
One other point of observation is the belt attaching hook this should be indented with a distinct circular impression.

On a different note you should only use the forums image up loader if you close your flicker account it will make the thread useless for future reference as know one will be able to access the images.

Hey Thanks for the quick response Mark! I will do my best to repost the images later today. As for the details you pointed out, that was my impression as well. That being said, would this have been West German? What struck me about this bag was it's age and the materials used. I am also still very curious about the brass ID tag sewn inside. Does anyone have any idea what it is? Could it be an early post war dog tag?
Thanks!

You are welcome

I do find this brotbeutel an interesting example it has some character

and looks to be well constructed.
I am leaning towards it being West German but I am not a 100% positive I am shur you will get some imput from other members here once you re post the pictures.

it might be non-military issue bag - similar to the tornisters - both military and paramilitary

Early Bundeswehr Breadbag
It looks pretty similar to this one!....

Mark, you have been proven right ! :-)

As to the link I believe the one shown as well is an early Bundeswehr as the BGS brotbeutel is a darker green in color as I have one in my collection.
