Description
This is an original pair of WWII German krad handschuhe, or motorcycle mittens. Although we have no reason to suspect that these have been paired together recently, there are slight differences between the two mittens. One exhibits a faint manufacturer's marking, 9 1/2 size stamping, and production date of July 31, 1941, and the other is marked with the initials of its original owner "H.B.". The soft, pebbled leather is quite similar to that seen on Fallschirmjäger helmet chinstraps and even exhibits the same PRYM closure snaps.
Provenance
Private Collection, Riga, Latvia
Condition Report
