Re: German WWII bag / satchel
I believe this is a machine-gunners tool-pouch...as for the markings I can only say that there was no 83rd SS Division...A better photo of the eagle-stamp would probably be helpful along with a photo of the reverse of the pouch...
cheers, Glenn

Re: German WWII bag / satchel
Can anyone tell me what is this? I don't know if it is machine gunners pouch, signalmans pouch or something else?

Re: German WWII bag / satchel

Re: German WWII bag / satchel
As stated by Tom - this is not an MG pouch. It is clearly a Nachrichtentasche. It held a report pad, pencils, tape, splicing knife, paper labels and a universal tool. There should be a divider inside and provision to store a couple of pencils. This would be standard issue to members of communications units. Value with an intact strap is in the One hundred twenty five to one hundred and seventy five US dollar range. I can't verify the SS marking but that would affect value. NH

Re: German WWII bag / satchel
btw, the strange mark appears to be the maker mark ..... it looks as if this is made by clg (same maker as the tan and green MP40 pouches) : Ernst Melzig Lederwaren, Liegnitz
As for the value... I have bought a few on ebay for 30 - 50 euro (including the straps which are normally the same as the flaregun pouch straps)
but normally stuff can be bought cheap sometimes on ebay.de.
I believe the prices in the US are most of the time much higher
