GERMAN SHOE CLEANING KIT W/BLACK POUCH USED

This genuine German Bundeswehr shoe cleaning kit is original-issue field gear, pulled from military supply channels and complete with its three wooden-handled brushes and black storage pouch. The pouch is screen-printed with the German military designation "PUTZZEUG" (cleaning kit), the NATO stock number 7920-12-381-7078, and a contract code — unmistakable marks of authentic Bundeswehr issue.

For decades, every German soldier was expected to keep parade boots and field boots in regulation order, and this is the kit that did the job. Today it appeals to a wide cross-section of end customers: military surplus collectors looking for an authentic Bundeswehr piece, reenactors completing a period-correct kit, preppers who want a compact boot-care set for the bug-out bag, and outdoorsmen, hunters, and hikers who simply want a proven, no-nonsense kit for cleaning leather boots after a long day in the field.

What's Included

• Large wooden polishing brush with full natural bristle head — for buffing and shining
• Medium wooden application brush — for working polish and wax into the leather
• Small detail brush with pointed wooden handle — for welts, seams, and tight areas around laces and eyelets
• Black textile field pouch with hook-and-loop closure flap and webbing carry strap, printed with German military markings

Construction & Authenticity

All three brushes are built on solid natural wood blocks with densely packed dark bristles set in traditional staggered rows — the same simple, durable construction the Bundeswehr has relied on for generations. The pouch is sewn from a heavy black synthetic textile with a reinforced strap and folds flat for storage in a footlocker, locker shelf, rucksack, or vehicle kit.

Condition

This is used original surplus. Items show honest service-life character: handles may have polish staining, scuffs, and patina; bristles may be flattened from real use; pouch markings may be faded or partially worn. This is the look of authentic issued gear, not a factory-fresh consumer product, and it's exactly what surplus collectors and reenactors are after.

Why It Sells

• Authentic Bundeswehr issue with verifiable NATO stock number markings
• Cross-merchandises with combat boots, jump boots, German surplus uniforms, and leather-care displays
• Compact, low-shelf-space SKU with broad appeal — collectors, preppers, hunters, and everyday boot owners
• Practical utility keeps it moving even with non-collector customers
