Handdtuch/ Towel(ie) :) of Heeresunterkunft (H. U.) / Wehrmacht 1938

[Daven]

Hi there,

I have an offer for a Wehrmacht Handtuch. Only this picture is available at the moment...

Marked with "H.U. 1938" for Heeresunterkunft 1938 and an eagle.

Do you think it can be legit?

Thank you!

David

Personally I wouldn’t buy it, as far as I’m aware this style eagle was not used in 1938, it was fazed out in 1936 and only still used in 1937 on gasmask canisters. Never seen the Weimar eagle on 1938 dated equipment. Just my look, happy to be proven wrong.

Thats what I thought. For me it looks like a „Bundesadler“. I have never seen this type of eagle on WW2 equipment. I think thats a post war style eagle…but I am far far away from being an expert in this stuff.

Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate.

Best regards

David
