German Military Trigger Finger Leather Gloves (1940-1950)
Very interesting pair of trigger finger gloves. The “trigger finger” design is particularly widespread due to its functionality and simple design. Being used in combat by motorcycle riders, pilots, machine operators, and foot soldiers, this design has been used by every army in the world that faced cold climate combat. This particular pair comes from eastern Europe, likely from Germany or one of the Germany-occupied countries during WW2.
The most interesting aspect of these gloves is the wear and repair pattern. These black leather gloves feature a series of red leather patches with a very interesting patina and stitching. Along with the unique colour, these gloves feature a strap to adjust the fit at the bottom.
Vintage condition, visible wear and tear.
They fit around M-L sized hand
