Thanks Fred for sharing excellent picture, on the bunch i assume majority are matching bayonets, anyway minimum 2 of them are only scabbards wout bayonets, as i saw similar photos where was a bunch of bayonets on other place as scabbards with belts and ammo pouches, is certainly a unit depend, how the capturing was realised from german soldiers. I believe majority of missmatch raised in that short period.
Hello,
back to the frog one more time.
E.O Götze only made these bags in natural colored leather (in German: lohgar) for the Air Force for a very short time in 1939. They are available with without without a safety strap.
They weren't painted. It was probably the transition period between the chocolate browns and the black paintwork. Many of these variants were later colored.
These bags are quite rare in their original condition.
