All Original "Handschützer" WH WW2
Very Useful and Collector
The gun glove was made to resist heat, in a number of minor variations.
It was intended to prevent the hand from getting burned by the extremely hot barrels when exchanging them during sustained fire, and was very useful tool, as in the author's experience mittens and field are not really suited for this kind of abuse.
