Nazi Strap

[OrangSoldier]

Hi there!

I found this one in a very old farm here in Bavaria.
Does anybody know what is was used for? It has two stamps: one number and one eagle with the swastika on it.
Just have a look:

Hmmm...For a field telephone, perhaps? I like a good mystery, lol...

Hello,

my think it is a strap for weapon .............

Can you tell us the size of it?
It does look it came from a weapon

I think you're exactly right...either for K98 or MP40...

Hi, Glenn

We can rule-out K98 slings, I have 2 and they aren't configured in this way. Perhaps MP40 as suggested, not familiar with that sling.

hi !

I think it is neither a K98, nor a MP40 sling. if you google MP40 you see that they have different straps.
It is nearly 2 meters long.
Would that be long for a field telephone strap?
I found this pic on the net: Interesting is, that the eagle on the back of the receiver looks similar to the one on my leather sling.

It's not K98 or MP40, I've got a k98 sling and I've had an mp40 and neither were like this. What about an mg42?

[OrangSoldier]

Hm no... the MG42 ones look like this.

To be honest I would post it in the equipment forum, you might get an answer there as it is definitely nothing to do with buckles, its worth a try. BTW could it be a strap from a Goulash Canone (portable soup container)?
