An original messkit marked ‘ESB 44’ indicating manufacture by Eduard Sommerfield Berlin. The kit still has its brown paint which is classed as rare. The M31 or (Kochgeschirre) M31 ‘Alum’ is a 1.6l capacity cooking pot carried on the left side of the bread bag. The messkit is a cleverly engineered piece of equipment capable of serving as a cooking or eating vessel. It has a piece of wire acting as a handle which can also be used to hang over a fire to heat the food. They were originally made entirely from Aluminium, but from around 1940 the handle was manufactured in steel. This example is in very good order with all important brown paint. The price includes UK delivery. MISC 1022.
