Unit Marked Gear??

Bob in OHIO · Jun 10, 2011

I guess some gear was still unit marked in '36 or so??

Here's an ammo pouch with one unit x'ed out, and another unit stamped in the other.
It seems the active unit is still different from the one that's embossed.
The solder's name is inked in the center compartment too,
but not readable.

Nice pouch!

I love unit marked gear....I have some puches unit marked, a few bayonet frogs, a back pack marked to an artillery unit, a pair of summer weight motorcycle gauntlets marked to an anti0tank unit, and some other items I believe...I think they still were doing some unit markings well past '36....probably at the discretion of the unit...

I'll have to try to get some pics....

It belonged to a soldier in the 13th company (MG company) of Infantry Regiment 88.
Some information on this regiment:

Found this 37' dated belt and buckle in a antique shop in Kingman Arizona last year. I was pleased to find out the belt and buckle is marked to a Luftwaffe radar trainings school. The buckle was made by RS&S, the tab is LBA marked and made by 'R.SIEPER & SOHNE*LUDENSCHEID' with a unit marking of 'Ln.Sch.Vers. Abt. 7 Fl.Komp.' which translates to 'Luftnachrichten Schule Versuchs Abteilung 7 Flieger Kompanie'. The belt is also unit marked with a makers mark of 'MAX KOBERSTEIN LANDSBURG/WARTH' :thumbsup:

Not really gear, but I have a 1913 Luger with markings to a Machine Gun Regiment IIRC on the grip strap under the Trigger Guard.

Ok, finally got some pics of a couple of unusual unit marked pieces I have,,,the first is a tornister, unit marked to the 3rd Kompanie, Artillery Regiment 103...

The second is a mint set of summer weight motorcyclist gauntlets marked to the 2nd Kompanie, Panzer Abwehr Abteilung 44...

Peter U · Oct 2, 2011

Hello Pzjgr,

3 AR103, the third battery of Artillery Regiment 103.
That is an intresting unit, they were attached to the Panzer divisions 2 & 4 in the early stages of the war.
With the aid of this link you find there detailed unit history:
http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/ArtReg/Gliederung.htm

Pz Abw Abt 44 was a unit of the Gebirgsjäger.

Cheers,
Peter

Back to the top,

Peter S. Excellent Luft frog.
Just re-found this forum. Here is a small contribution on the Luft frogs.

My one item, I guess the rifle serial too??

ohioxd · Oct 31, 2013

GEWEHR 98, marked 104 Coll Co.

I have a 1916 Amberg Gewehr 98 that is stamped "104 Coll. Co." on the stock, next to the brass unit marking disk. But it has no marking on the brass marking disk.

Any idea what "104 Coll Co" is?
