WH (Heer) M40 straight legged combat field pants (M40 Hose für Mannschaften). Originally the long pants were produced in stone grey fabric until 1940 when regulations dictated that newly produced long pants be constructed in field-grey fabric. The trousers are made of the standard Wehrmacht field-grey wool. The trousers have two, diagonally angled, front pockets and a small watch pocket. A strap and metal buckle is sewn on the back for tightening. The trousers are nicely size marked and dated with a Berlin depot marking of 1939, so these must be on of the first produced M40 type trousers, already produced in 1939. The trousers are in good used condition showing normal traces of usage, some small staining and one damage/repair on front, see photos. Original Wehrmacht trousers are very hard to find. Nice original pair of M40 trousers in good used condition!
