German field equipment grouping

[HoundsTooth]

Folks,

Hope you like my field equipment grouping:

• Mid-late war German steel canteen SMM43
• M31 aluminum Mess Tin - HWSD39
• Black Wound Badge - Carl Wild 107
• Scho-ka-kola chocolate tin - 1938
• Gold-Stern-Rot razor blades
• Odilei x3 pack of condoms (contents missing, presumably used)
• Efka cigarette papers
• Postcard from the front

I'm hoping to add some more items - fork/spoon, fat dish etc...

I hope you like,
Nick

Nice quality items Nick. Love the postcard!

Thanks fellas - the postcard is cool. The Pzr III is probably my favourite tank - the workhorse of the Wehrmacht. Less protection and firepower than the Pzr IV, but more manoeuvrable and therefore often preferred. And I love all the equipment strapped on to them.

With the helmets and badges being so expensive, it's nice to add some smaller personal items to my collection.

The Scho-Ka-Kola tins command high prices these days. I looked up Hildebrand and found out they were still in business. However, their web site listed them as being founded in 1954. Obviously, they have been around a lot longer. My guess is they wished to avoid association with the Third Reich era and mark their beginning during the post war rebuilding period instead. NH

Indeed the Scho-Ka-Kola tins are expensive. Mine was £110 but they are on ebay for up to £230 - this is for a tin with the adler and swastika.
I think they are still sold in Denmark amongst other places in Europe so i'm going to ask my friend to bring over the dark and the milk chocolate in June for me. Interested to see what all the hype was about!

Thanks David, it's surprising how quickly it does grow. Next week I'm going to play around with my entire display - it's half the fun!

A couple of small items to add to my field equipment. K98 pouch in well used condition. It was only £25 - some dealers sell these for £80-£90, not sure why anyone would pay that.
And stainless steel (rostfrei) spork.
