NEW!! Reproduction German WWII Web/Tropical M31 Breadbag (Brotbeutel 31) With Strap- The bread bag was designed to carry rations, eating utensils and other assorted personal items. It was originally issued with a removable carrying strap (usually stored inside the breadbag) although regulations dictated that the bread bag was to be worn suspended from the combat equipment belt. This resulted in the bread bag carrying strap seldom being used for its original purpose though it was utilized for a wide variety of improvised functions. The M31 bread bag must be considered one of the most important of all personal equipment items.

M31 Web/Tropical Breadbag (Brotbeutel 31)- Our breadbag has the same exact weaving as our original sample that was provided. It is an olive drab (copied from our original), water repellent, and canvas construction with tan webbing to hold the painted gray steel fittings. The bread bag is roughly, 10 1/2" tall and 12" wide, being wider at the bottom and tapering inward towards the top. The bread bag has a fold back, top flap with a horizontal, machine stitched seam. The top edge of the bread bag has 2 vertical, belt loop straps with webbing reinforcement with a single button closure to each corner and an additional central vertical strap with a riveted on steel belt hook, which is not correct. The central belt hook strap is well marked with a manufacturer and dated 1941. The breadbag also has two, web reinforced, steel D- rings to both the front and back, positioned near the top edge corners. The front D-Rings are for the canteen and mess kit. The back D-rings are for attaching the breadbag strap. The front of the fold back top flap also has two, small, horizontal, web loops stitched in place. The reverse interior of the fold back top flap has two, stitched on, button holed, vertical and web closure straps with corresponding dish buttons to the front center of the breadbag’s body.
