Germashen help please.

Pictures are not great but this is not something I recognize as military. NH

"Ger"mashen, i see what you did there.
The label does not seem to lead in any military direction, it says "Mars gaiters, L Quality K, Patented in inland and foreign countries".
The Stamp D.R.P probably means Deutsches Reichspatent (German Reich Patent) which was used 1907 - 1945/49 if i´m correct.
Here an Ad i found for them, stating they are "Sports gaiters".

Many thanks for the info

Well done Adravor. Hiking and climbing was and still is a very popular activity in Europe. The special clothing to go along with it has been available for years. Neil

Some of the German colonial troops wore these in a blue/grey color.
