Afternoon all,

I starting making a few of these for myself so I could carry my more bulky and awkward shaped stuff to shows in something that would look ok on the display. The need to leave the sports bags, suitcases and expensive originals at home has taken hold within my group and I ended up doing some more as the other lads in my group wanted them as well.

After selling a load, I have some left over now which I don't want left kicking around in my shed so I thought i'd offer them up here to see if there is any interest.

The bags are marked with the Adler on one side and the 'H. Vpfl.' which stands for 'Heeres Verpflegung', in English - Army Food Supply and from what I gather they were for grains and cereals. The years I have are 1941, 1942, and 1943. I decided not to go any earlier as the earlier examples featured 2 blue stripes running up the sack, which seems to have been phased out as the war progressed as an economy measure. There were a variety of fonts used, and i've done my best to match the originals that i've found. If there is enough demand, I can do 1944 and 45 easily enough so no problem there.

Measurement wise, they are 60cmx110cm, and are made from a nice strong material so will take the weight of most of your goodies.

Price wise £10 + £3.00 postage in the UK. I shall get the postage cost if anyone wants them outside of the UK.

Paypal is cool.

Thanks for looking,
Neil.

Ditto! Thanks Neil.

No problem gents - glad you like them

I've sent more out today, so if you have ordered one, expect it to land early next week (apart from the one to Australia which may take a little longer )

Plenty left if anyone else fancies one.

Neil.

these really do look very good! full marks for knocking these up yourself. sets the standard.

Hi, any more of these sacks left? am after a couple of them, great for hiding anything in a tent or carrying stuff like you said

cheers

Hi, yes i'm about to start another batch at some point this week so can do you a couple no problem.

Pm me with your choice of years and we'll go from there

Neil

Just want to say thank you Neil, the 2 sacks arrived, very nice. and as the fraulein said, they are much bigger than i thought they would be

Well recommended guys, just as Neil says.

Thanks for letting me know mate and glad they pass muster!

I have 7 or so left now 41, 42 and 43 dated if anyone else fancies one.

Neil

Evening everyone,

It's been a while since i've done any of these but after the lads in my group started asking for them again, i've decided to go back into production.

As last time, the dates on offer are 1941, 1942, 1943 and i've also got 1944 for you late war types.

Price stays the same at £10, postage reduced slightly to £2.00 (the more that are ordered the postage price will rise slightly)

Or, they can be delivered to the Victory Show in a few weeks.

Thanks
Neil.
