Mid war mortar carrying frame marked bvk 1943

Nice mid war ammunition carrying frame in very good, lightly used condition. The frame is complete with all straps and buckles in perfect condition. The rack retains up to 99% of its original factory paint which is overpainted post war in the Norwegian Army. This paint is loose and can be scratched off with a piece of wood or a finger nail if wished. Most of these racks have one, or most of the auxiliary straps missing or replaced. This rack retains ALL of the original factory straps with the typical woven holes and metal tips. All webbing is in good and complete condition with one period repair to the small portion which retains the carabiner hook. A great and textbook example that would be very hard to upgrade!
