I just took delivery of a reprint of the 1939 RZM pricelist and found this interesting entry:
Assuming I read the fraktur right, that's "Fahrtendecke" - which google translate gives as "travel blanket."
Is that a reasonable translation? If so, are extant pictures of one of these blankets? Or even what the "grauoliv" (grey-olive?) color looked like?
(for context, 10 RM looks about three times the cost of an hj knife or a messkit, a bit more than half the cost of a zeltbahn)
