The label clearly reads: “Johann Faber Krokierstifte“. Belongs in any map-case collection!

Very rare and extremely scarce Eberhard Faber Taktik-Etui Nr. 542 in excellent condition. The pouch features all 4 coloured (yellow, red, blue & black) propelling pencils which are all undamaged and complete with their fillings inside! The pouch also contains its original tube for spare fillings. The pouch only misses the “Marschleistungen” measurement tool and the eraser which are virtually always missing from these sets. These sets were privately purchased from the manufacturer Eberhard Faber which designed this set together with some other products (such as the Krokierstifte) in a line with products designed for usage within the Wehrmacht (Spezial-Erzeugnisse für die Wehrmacht). The pouch itself is designed to be worn on the belt or to be attached to a button on the uniform, the pouch is manufactured from high quality brown coloured leather. Extremely rare set which are very collectible but very hard to encounter, especially in this condition! This set is coming from own personal collection!

Excellent Radio operators or signal troops or Fünker tornister in stone mint, unissued condition!

These specific tornisters would contain the necessary equipment for signal troops, such as cable reels and a large variety of tools. There were three versions of the backpack: “1, 2 & 3”, with each having different interiors for intended for different equipment. This pack is a later war example without number! The tornister is nicely marked hj* 1943 which indicates production by a still to this day unknown manufacturer. The fur on the cowhide is still completely intact. The shoulder straps are complete and intact, with all the leather parts still supple with a nice natural color. Excellent piece and for sure impossible to be upgraded and the first blue example I have ever seen!
