Original Item: Called Sniper Mittens because they have a separate compartment for the index or trigger finger. These substantial Black/Brown leather gauntlets were used by all troops in winter conditions. Designed to be worn over regular wool gloves, these leather Gauntlet/Mittens are unlined. Substantial top quality construction provides great wrist protection. Almost identical to the German WWII Eastern Front issue, these make great reenactor items. Nearly unissued.
