Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
This genuine WW2 Swiss Army Zeltbahn Tent Pole Kit provides an original shelter set.
Historic Field Provenance
This genuine Grade 1 Swiss Army shelter set was originally issued during the Second World War to support standard military shelter quarters. Built to the exact design pattern used by German forces, it is fully interchangeable with WWII Zeltbahn 31 ponchos, making it ideal for historical reenactment or authentic bushcraft setups.
Sectional Hardwood Poles
The kit features three interlocking hardwood pole sections with aluminium collars that assemble into an upright support roughly 110cm high. Each section slots tightly together to prevent wobble under heavy canvas tension. Three galvanised metal tent pegs provide strong ground hold in loose soil or rocky terrain.
Durable Canvas Pack
All components pack neatly into a heavy-duty olive green canvas pouch. Fitted with dual metal dish button closures and rear leather equipment loops, the pack securely mounts onto field packs, belts, or rolled shelter halves. It keeps your shelter hardware organised and ready for immediate deployment in the field.
Upgrade your vintage military camp setup with this original Swiss field kit.
This item was used by the Swiss Army during the WWII (1939–1945) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.

- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
