Original Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger

For sale is an exceptional piece of World War II history: an original Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger ammunition bandolier designed for the Mauser Kar98k rifle. This rare artifact hails from the early years of the conflict, crafted in the distinctive "field blue" color used by the Luftwaffe before transitioning to the later tan/green variants. These bandoliers were issued to German paratroopers, who relied on them to carry ample ammunition during airborne operations behind enemy lines, far from traditional supply chains.

This bandolier features 12 pockets (6 on each side), each secured with a metal button, designed to hold stripper clips of 7.92x57mm Mauser ammunition—up to 60 rounds total. The sturdy canvas construction shows signs of honest wear, including minor fraying at the edges and slight discoloration, consistent with its age and use in the field. The shoulder straps are intact, with reinforced stitching still holding strong, allowing this piece to be displayed or even worn for historical reenactments. There are no visible tears or significant damage, making this a well-preserved example of Fallschirmjäger gear.

Perfect for collectors of WWII militaria, Luftwaffe enthusiasts, or those looking to complete a Fallschirmjäger kit. This bandolier is a tangible connection to the elite paratroopers who played a pivotal role in operations like the invasions of Crete and the Low Countries. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of history from one of the most iconic units of the Second World War.

Condition: Used, with minor wear consistent with age and field use. All buttons and pockets are intact, with no major damage. Please see photos for details.
