German Leather Mess Kit Strap iraq film production or Russian militariaThe German M31 Mess Kit is a timeless design that has seen action from WW2 until the present day. These straps are what tied these kits onto the old German webbing system and kept it all secure. All of these vary widely in age, factory of manufacture and how many buckle holes they have. But one thing they have in common is they are the right length to wrap around a German mess kit! They can also be used to strap plenty of other things down as well
