Any opinions about this mess kit? Unmarked. Looks strange for german mess kit.

[harryamb2]

imo its ok.

I suspect its been repainted. Its also unusual (in my limited experience) to see one with no markings.

Looks okay to me too.
Normally you see more scratches and dings.
So on this one it seems for whatever reason the paint has flaked off....

If my memory serves me correctly sometimes late war Kochgeschirr 31 you wouldn't see markings. But like I said "If I remember correctly".


Good reference page for the Kochgeschirr 31: MP44.nl - German Uniforms and Equipment - Essgeschirr

Looking at the finish and the handle I would say this is post-war NVA.
