WWII German Soldier's Personal Field Gear & Hygiene Lot (1935 Dated). A fantastic, original World War II German soldier's personal field effects and hygiene grouping (Soldatennachlass). This choice small combat lot consists of five textbook personal items that a frontline soldier would carry in his breadbag (Brotbeutel) or tunic pockets: an early-war aluminum folding fork-spoon combination, an exceptionally rare pre-war 1935 dated field dressing bandage, two complete stores of period razor blades, and an original block of military issue soap. Groupings like this offer a highly personal, museum-grade look into the daily field life of a Wehrmacht soldier.
This Item
Aluminum Folding Cutlery Set: A classic aluminum folding fork and spoon combination (Göffel). The piece is in good, field-used combat condition. The folding rivet mechanism functions perfectly, and crucially, all the fork tines (tandjes) remain remarkably straight and sharp with honest period wear.
Rare 1935 Pre-War Bandage: An unopened, original German military first aid field dressing pocket bandage (Verbandpäckchen). The fabric packaging is sharply printed with instructions: "Faden abstreifen" and is explicitly dated 1935, making it an exceptionally rare, very early pre-war survival. It was manufactured by the famous W. Söhngen & Co. Verbandstoff-Fabrik from Wiesbaden. Wartime Military Soap Block: An original, unused block of wartime German issue soap measuring 6x4 cm. The front is deeply embossed with the production code "OCG 305", while the reverse displays the code "WNV 305". This soap features the highly characteristic greenish tint typical for military-contract Kriegsseife / Dienstseife (service soap). These specific three-letter numeric codes signify that it was manufactured under strict wartime government regulations exclusively for military supply depots.
"Fasan" Razor Blades Box: A 100% complete, original cardboard store containing 10 unused razor blades (Rasierklingen). The packaging features a striking, vivid multi-color graphic of the iconic "Fasan" (Pheasant) logo. The box specifies the elite 0.08 mm blade thickness. "Bismarck" Razor Blades Box: A secondary 100% complete, original pack containing 10 unused period razor blades. Marked "Bismarck Rasierklingen", this store features its original graphics and specifies the 0.1 mm blade thickness. Overall State: Excellent, untouched surplus condition. All components show authentic, synchronized aging and represent an un-messed-with personal combat set directly from a German estate.
