Product description

East German grey field uniform belts with a grey-painted metal buckle. This is technically a combat belt, but it can be used equally well as a trouser belt. It is freely adjustable and 45 mm / 1.7" wide.

Strongly in the spirit of World War 2, the East German NVA based their combat webbing on the traditional system consisting of a belt and Y-straps. However, because we are talking about East Germany after all, they made it all from slippery nylon-like Dederon, making the usual "disintegration-when-donned" and "sailing pouch" problems of the WW2 kit even worse.

In conclusion: while the kit was quite tough, it still sucks big time. If you want to experience it, we occasionally have the components on sale.

Our sales pitch is that these are actually pretty good trouser belts. The buckle won't open on its own and the adjustments seem to hold well.

The lengths seem to vary a bit. Most seem to be around 110 cm / 43.5" long.

East-German surplus

Most of these are unissued, some are used, some might be a bit dirty after decades of loving storage.

A good surprise. thick grey nylon belt with a sturdy buckle. Adjust easily and does not slip. Cheap historical souvenir from the cold war era when Germany was splitted in two.

Ideal belt for jeans, which one probably couldn't buy in the DDR to go with it. I have two of these belts, and they'll last longer than me (and the DDR).
