Nice items.
I have had one of these HJ water bottles for some years and have always wondered if there was an associated cup?
Regards

Thanks! yes the hj also used those cups but I found that in pre war years they had their own aluminium made cups like the design was way different compared to sa or ss ones that last pic shows the 2.5dl aluminium cup in use but with hj they used the bakelite small cup version more than the 2.5dl if im not mistaken. a complete political field bottle with the cup is hard to find though..
Here is my new item my first ss headgear handschar maroon fez typical dachau made if im correct sadly the insignia is stripped but a nice display worthy piece aldo gave me some tips about these thanks again hope you see this
I guess i will just keep updating on this thread rather than making a new one for one item unless if its something speficic..
Managed to snatch yet another political canteen this one being purely used by sa/nsdap with a bakelite cup! the cup has a rzm style circle stamp and m4 s markings the bottle is m6/21/39 also a marking on the belt loop hook constructed of aluminium. and I also couldnt pass up on getting a nsdap bread bag for it I suspect this to be war time product maybe 1939-40? again in slightly used condition but not beaten. finally a waffen ss tropical sturmmann chevron badge in unissued condition constructed of black wool.
