Re: Kanisters of the Wehrmacht
This canister was originally red-burgundy and was painted in camouflage ... is a kind of Normany-Camo, but the canister was found in Romania ... on the Eastern Front!
.... anyone can talk about camouflage!? ... or about inventory number "809", manufacturer I know : Ambi-Budd Presswerk of Berlin = ABP.

Re: Kanisters of the Wehrmacht
A nice Boehme und co. example you have there mich. I always like to see the traces of the orange/red base coat paint, and yours shows that nicely. You can clearly see the areas where the feldgrau paint has worn away, especially on the mid-section where the can would typically rest against another during transportation, and also on the handle section too of course. Thanks for sharing it with us all.

Re: Kanisters of the Wehrmacht
You're welcome mich. The early "X" pattern kanisters were manufactured between 1937-41. This pattern was eventually replaced by the standard pattern cans, such as your example shown above. The markings on the early pattern kanister that you have are not a type that I am familiar with. Can you show a photograph of the other side, i.e. the front of the can?
Regards,
Carl
