Does it have any maker markings on it?
-
Hello BlackCat, the dealer said there is, but it is "hard to read". However, I did not see one in any of the pictures.
Here is the link to the listing: M31 Wehrmacht splittertarn Zeltbahn 1939 - Bevo Militaria - Military antique shop
-
It is a original.
Cheers,
Marco

Yes I agree with knoffhoff that there's no issue with originality (I just have a thing about liking to see makers marks)!
-
Thank you both for your help, it is greatly appreciated! I did order it, and will post a picture of the maker mark once it arrives.

If you don't find a Dated Maker's mark the year of manufacture is probably a best guess by the dealer based on the aluminium grommets.
There might be pale dots in the fabric print on earlier zelts but I can't see from the pictures.
Some of the buttons look zinc rather than aluminium.
It may have been finished after 1939?

Hello Kateri! I received and looked it over, I did not see any pale dots unfortunately, although all the buttons and grommets appear to be aluminum. I did find what I believe to be the remains of an ink stamp for the maker, although there is not much left and it is very faded. From what I have read on this forum, the internet, and a few books I have, this seems to indicate that it is possible pre-war or early war.
