Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!

Nice original Wehrmacht issue Schlauschal, Toque or Oma scarf in good condition. The scarf was clearly marked with an RBNr. on the inside but this has sadly been faded and completely unreadable. The scarf has moth damage but this will most likely not be disturbing on a mannequin. Nice and hard to find example in very good, most likely unissued condition!
