Original German Pre-WWII Kragenträger (Stretcher Bearer) Medical Pouch Marked, Dated 1938 (Right Side)
A scarce pre-war German medical pouch issued to a Kragenträger (stretcher bearer), clearly marked and dated 1938, and retaining a period unit marking to the lid TG-Trupp 2 for Träger-Gruppe (Bearer Group) 2 or 2nd stretcher bearer squad / bearer group.
Constructed of molded light brown leather dyed black, the pouch features a slightly curved back for field wear, with quality machine stitching and steel fittings throughout. The reverse retains its original belt attachment system with dual straps and central hanger, all intact and functional.
The pouch is clearly stamped “K” (Kragenträger) and “R” for right-side wear. The underside bears a legible maker and date stamp “1938.” The lid shows a period-applied unit marking, adding further character.
The interior remains complete with its original divider and secondary inner lid with leather lift tab. Traces of the original contents label are still present.
Condition is very good, showing honest service wear including scuffing and finish loss with brown leather visible beneath. Stitching and hardware remain intact throughout.
Measures approximately 10 cm x 18 cm x 8 cm.
A well-marked and increasingly hard-to-find pre-war stretcher bearer pouch, ideal for any WWII German medical or field gear collection. In excellent condition.
