Hi, got this today and would just like to show and maybe get some comments. Can anyone tell me more about this maker because every time I google it I get a P. Luneschloss who made blades. The only other one I found was a strap marked E.W.Luneschloss. Also the three pronged swastika is a bit confusing.
Regards Tom
PS - Please excuse the quality of some of the photos, but taken at different times with different cameras.
Thanks Ade. I would like to know more about the swastika marking. Someone told me it was the early form of swastika used, but I can find no corroborating info. Regards Tom
Hi Ade. Thanks a lot mate. I think you may be right about the makers being related as they are both listed as being from Solingen. I think the same applies to E.W Luneschloss.
Regards Tom
I think that I may be able to shed a bit more light on this ruck' for you.
If I have got my facts right, and from a quick glance through a couple of my reference books, I believe they are, I believe that you have a:
M1934 pack, (Tornister 34), with integral shoulder straps. (Ref: Osprey Men-At-Arms No 234: German Combat Equipments 1939-45 by Rottmann & Volstad)
As regards the Trifos, the only reference that I can find to it, is in its use a collar patch for 27. SS-Frei-Gren-Div "Langemark" and its predesessing units of Flemish volunteer units "Nordwest" and "Flandern"so what its significance is in this relationship, I havent got a clue! (Ref: Waffen-SS Uniforms & Insignia by Krawczyk & Lukacs)
Putting this one to bed. Here is the makers advert. Note the "Hooked Star" trademark.
Cheers, Ade.

Just for interest, here is their advert from 1938. The previous two were earlier.
Cheers, Ade.
