WW1 German Combat Belt With G98 Pouch & Breadbag ,1915 & 1917 Dates
A WW1 German Prussian other ranks belt & buckle with G98 cartridge pouch & breadbag still on the belt as it was recovered in the Verdun area some years ago.
The grey painted steel belt buckle retains its tab with the maker name & date ' D.AROEVER, MAGDEBURG 1917' . Belt leather is also faintly maker marked , now mostly illegible , however the date 1915 is discernable. The cartridge pouch has early brass fittings with internal spacers & maker & date 1915 marked to rear. Breadbag has all of its fittings with some rust & dryness to leather. To the rear of the breadbag is ink stamped an Armee korps marking with the date '15. Underside of flap has markings 'BJA' & 'F' indicating it has been through a repair depot & is thus fit for Field use.
Overall dirt & grime I have made no attempt to clean any of it !
