Late War Wehrmacht Mess Kit M42 - Kochgeschirr 42 (Eis.). The 'Kochgeschirr 31' was introduced on 23 March 1931, the M42 Mess kit was a simplified version, completely made of steel, introduced in 1942. This is a nice original late war enamelled steel construction mess kit. The mess kit is not visible maker marked or dated. These green with grey and blue enamelled examples are attributed to have been made by the 'Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik' run by Oskar Schindler. The mess kit still retains most of its original enamel with some normal damage around the bottom, see photos. The mess kit is in uncleaned condition as found. Rare original example in good used condition!
