Item Description
Original Item: One Only Set Available. Here we have a very nice canvas carry bag for carrying 20" long steel shafted yellow warning flags with black Skull and Crossbones. These were used by "Pioneer" troops to mark the locations of mines and possibly contaminated areas. Additionally there is a front pouch, which could be used to carry roll of yellow cloth tape used to isolate dangerous areas, however the pouch is empty on this example.
This bag came with 15 flag poles, but only 7 of them still have the warning flags attached. They all show wear, and some have had the fittings fall off or become loose. The remaining flags are all stained and worn. The design of the poles is somewhat unique, and allows poles to be combined to make a longer pole when needed for high grass.
The olive colored canvas long carry bag, which has a faint ink stamp under the top flap, has a buckle and canvas strap for closure and is complete with shoulder sling. There is a bit of rust staining and wear from storage, but overall it still presents very well, with no major defects.
For more information please see the book Uniforms and Traditions of the German Army 1933-1945 by Angolia and Schlicht, page 183.
A very nice set, ready to display!
