-Tropical Breadbag (1941 dated)
-Green web tropical belt and tropical buckle with green web tab
-Tropical canteen (1941 dated)

Thank you for visiting the site. If you describe yourself as having “little funds”, I’m afraid you may face obstacles in your pursuit of original German tropical militaria. Prices have gotten crazy over the last 10 years. There are sites that make decent reproductions for reenactors, but even these items can be pricey.
I do not have any German militaria for sale. In fact, I’ve sold most of it over the last several years to finance US militaria.
