Economy German Blankets

Economy German wool blankets. They are gray with a bit of a reddish hue; color may vary slightly from piece to piece. The material is a wool / synthetic blend. They are post-war surplus with reproduction German stamped markings and our reproduction moth protection tag sewn in. The blankets were surprisingly close to a plain original in my collection. The standard German blanket has a red and blue stripe, but plain blankets were also used (see photo with our original). This is great blanket to take out in the field to get used and dirty. The price is right and they are warm; if it gets a little dirty, it just makes it more authentic.

 

These blankets are old, used military surplus; as such they may have some minor flaws or a stain, etc... Overall, they are in good, usable shape. They measure about 57" by 70" (measurements may vary slightly from piece to piece) - this indicates they may have been washed and shrunk.

 

These blankets do have some post-war marks (in addition to our reproduction markings and moth tag). We put our stamp and tag on the opposite side of the post-war marks when possible. See photos.
