Hi Derrick, you are correct. The two on the loops are East German NVA three hole style buttons.
Cheers, Ade.

Hello,
that's a nice prewar breadbag, congrats....
Yes all buttons need to be replaced. The acceptance stamp is still very nice E39 for Erfurt 1939. Thanks for sharing
Thanks

Thanks Jphilp for e39 info.
I don't want to appear cocky , but these buttons shouldn't be replaced . An early brotbeutel like this one has such aluminium three hole buttons that are the very same ones that you can observe on a 1931 to 1939/40 splinter Zeltbahn . The two examples I own have buttons like that that were copied by the NVA , which doesn't mean that every button of this type has been is post-war . I even think that this three hole buttons existed on WW1 pieces of equipment .
I will have to check on that . The other buttons shouldn't be replaced either , they are probably a war-time repair ...
