Conform to the regulations for mounted troops the gasmask had to be worn in a nearly vertical position under the right arm, the carabine slung over the right shoulder to facilitate mounting and the bayonet positioned on the right under the bread bag to avoid contact with the carabine butt.
Great photos, and you have the knowledge to back them up - a wonderful example to us all. :)

Servus Marty,

I have a few tools in my collection, but I am still trying to find some good info on them. Perhaps you can help.

Here's my Hufbeschlagzeugtasche and tools. Do you know what the tool on the far left is and how it's used?

Thank you all for the nice comments !

Patrick,
The tool you have on the left is called a "Butteris", this is a old tool used for trimming the horse hoof. It is a long, sharp chisel wich could be pushed by the farrier's shoulder. No longer used in most parts of the world this days.

Absolutely outstanding, you keep raising the bar and must be amongst the top 3 German living history groups out there. There are not many out there who compare in my opinion.

Please, keep up the excellent work!
