(Gürtel für Bannerträger). A rare and well-preserved Stahlhelm Ortsgruppe Eutin standard bearer’s flag harness. It is constructed of a heavy pressed brown leather belt, opening with a functional buckle constructed of polished silvered bronze with a magnetic metal core. The belt is perforated with seven sets of dual eyelets meeting analogous teeth on the buckle, allowing for a fully adjustable fit. The belt is joined together at the front by a circular multi-piece cup of identical construction, securely held together with heavy stitching, with a hollow interior for the insertion of a flagpole. A handwritten inscription on the interior reads “STAHLHELM, B.D.F. (BUND DER FRONTSOLDATEN) ORTSGRUPPE EUTIN”. It is otherwise unmarked, and measures 60 mm (w) x 960 mm (l) as presented. Minor, age-appropriate material fatigue is evident to the leather, but the harness is in an overall better than very fine condition.
