BW Shoe Care Set, Surplus

This here is a neatly organized set of shoe brushes to cover your needs for leather shoe care and maintenance. It's the "Putzzeug" of the German army, it really Zeugs Putzes!

Consisting of four brushes in a handy bag, simply add some shoe polish and you're ready to go. The bag has one divider to keep the application brush separated from the others. Maybe it makes a difference, maybe not.

The four brushes are intended to be used as follows:

1. Hard brush for caked-on dirt
2. Soft brush for fine dust-like dirt
3. Small application brush for spreading the shoe polish
4. Large polishing brush for adding a Poland-like appearance

For in-depth information about shoe and leather care in general, do read our 101 article about caring for shoes and boots.

Size: 20 x 18 x 5 cm / 8" x 7" x 2"

The brushes are packed in an earlier canvas bag with a buckle closure or a later nylon bag with a velcro tab. The contents are the same, most of what we got are the later nylon model.

• Later model: NSN 7920-12-364-6841
• Earlier model: NSN 7920-12-120-0814

German military surplus

These are used but in very good condition. There are traces of black shoe polish on the application and polish brushes, nothing you wouldn't see after using a brand-new kit for the first time. You can use a dash of turpentine to unstick the brushes or prepare them for another color, such as dark brown. We don't recommend using this kit with light-colored leathers.
