Original WWI WWII tent poles set  Original WWI - WWII German Zeltbahn tent set

 

We offer you an original WWI - WWII army Zeltbahn tent comprising the following:

-          - 3 tent poles made of wood, with metal grummets. Long 38,5 cm/ 15 inches each

-          -  thick tent rope made of natural material, ending with a loop

-          - 2 tent pegs made of aluminum (usually Zeltbahn Tent pegs were made of aluminum, resin or steel). They are long 26 cm / 10,2 inches

On the back side of the pegs can be noticed the mark of the German manufacturer. On one of them can be seen: "B.M.16." stamping, whereas on the other reads: "H.S.16."

With German items, the last digits usually indicate the fabrication year - 1916. But in this case, the situation is quite different, as there is no information of such tents existing in WWI.

The set is held in a canvass-made holder/ pouch with leather straps and metal buckles.

Sets like this were made in Germany but in WWII were placed at the disposal of the royal Bulgarian army, as Bulgaria was an ally of Germany.

 

As you can notice from the photos, the set we offer is in VG condition: it has never been used and it is authentic.

Every WWII collector will be pleased to have the set in their collection.

If you have a WWII tent, now is the right time to obtain the poles, pegs and rope you need to lay the tent out.

Enjoy!

 

 

Some general information on Zeltbahn tents

The Zeltbahn was first issued in 1931 and was carried by each German soldier as part of his personal equipment. It was basically a triangular shaped waterproof ‘quarter shelter’. These quarter shelters could be joined together using the metal buttons to make four, eight or sixteen man tents.

At the bottom edge of the zeltbahn there were grommets for threading a drawstring and in each corner there were larger grommets for pegs and at the top, one for a tent pole.

Each man was also issued with a 2 metre tent rope, a section of tent pole (four sections were joined to make a complete pole) and two tent pegs made of resin, steel or aluminium. These items were carried in a small pouch.
