Original German WWII DRK Medic Pouch with DRK Belt & Supplies – Deutsches Rotes Kreuz Original Items

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice original German WWII Sanitäts (Medic) grouping, contained in a brown leather Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (German Red Cross) medic pouch. It is set up with belt loops for attachment to the standard combat belt, and is clearly maker marked and dated on the rear over a Waffenamt WaA100 inspection stamp:

(Reichsadler)
WaA100

The pouch is in very good condition, with the stitching intact, and some degradation to the leather, particularly the closure straps. Inside the pouch are various supplies, and a very nice DRK EM/NCO’s Pebbled Aluminum Belt Buckle (Koppelschloß). This buckle features one-piece aluminum construction, with a 45mm, slightly convex, stamped metal box buckle, and a front design introduced in 1938. The front of the buckle a large pebbled field, with an eagle with down-swept wings clutching a Balkan cross in its talons and with a mobile swas to its breast. This is all surrounded by an open-topped wreath of laurels. The back is marked with only GES. GESCH., for “Gesetzlich Geschützt” (By-law Protected). The black leather belt measures 37” when fully extended, and is in very good lightly worn condition.

The other supplies contained inside the pouch are:

– One German WWII Unissued Set of Replacement Lenses for Wehrmacht Medic Glasses, still in the original container and dated 4. Feb. 1941. They come complete with the Klarscheiben und ihre Behandlung (Clear Lenses and their Handling) manual by the Kriegstechnische Abteilung (War Engineering Dept).

– One German WWII Unissued Decontamination Kit for Wehrmacht Medic Glasses, still in the original container. They come complete with the Behandlung Augengläser mit Seifenstift (Handling of Eyeglasses and Soap Stick) manual by the Kriegstechnische Abteilung (War Engineering Dept).

– One German WWII Unissued glass syringe by INJECTA in original box, still in wrapping. It is made using Thermo-Stahl, so it is safe to be heat sterilized.

– One Package of Bulgarian СПЕЦИАЛНА БРЪСНАРСКА ПУДРА (Special Barber Powder), “ДРАГОКО” (Dragoko) brand.

A very nice German WWII DRK Medic grouping, perfect for the WWII German collector.

History of the German Red Cross (DRK)

The DRK, “Deutsches Rotes Kreuz” (German Red Cross), a voluntary civil assistance organization originally instituted in 1864, was officially acknowledged by the Geneva Convention in 1929. In December 1937 it gained status as a legally recognized organization by the NSDAP. As with other essential services in Third Reich Germany, it came under control of the NSDAP in late 1938 under the auspices of the Ministry of the Interior’s Social Welfare Organization.
