thread
Hello,
I've purchased this feldgrau thread recently for a restoration project. Not sure if these are period or postwar, could anybody help me? At least if it's not synthetic material, it's ok for me.
Thanks in advance,
Doc.

try to burn a small piece. If it is wool thread it is only glowing. If it is synthetic thread it burns with a flame.

I have never seen WW2 German thread packaged that way. I have only seen it on spools or stars or samll cardboard tubes. The US and Brits had it on cardboard. This does not mean it is not original though.

That looks WWII or at least pre-1970 etc. They also sell a natural thread in most larger sewing stores that is made by a German company, it is identical to period threads-

I bought a lot of 100% original WW2 personal gear for nothing and the lot included a cardboard of thread as the one posted, so I would say it's WW2
