German WW2 Army M31 bread bag

This bread bag is not dated but with this type of cloth and magnetic parts it would date from around 1941.

Olive drab, water repellent, canvas construction bread bag with leather, steel fittings.

All buttons are present.

Condition is excellent, no flaws that we can find.

The bread bag was issued with a strap but it was rarely used. Most of the time the breadbag strap was discarded, or used for other purposes (like in carrying belts for ammo boxes, helmet folliage strap or replacement for the Y-belt).

 The standard issue M31 haversack, commonly referred to as the "breadbag", was based on the M1887 haversack and was adopted by the Wehrmacht as well as a wide variety of uniformed and non-uniformed political and paramilitary organizations in 1931. The main variation in breadbags used by political and para-military personnel as opposed to Wehrmacht personnel was the color. The breadbag was designed to carry rations, eating utensils and other assorted personal items.
