BTW: Do you know any method of erasing the rust from cans without affecting the original paint?
Have a look into oxalic acid.

Seen Austrian made wartime dated ones without Wehrmacht on too, but if you need something to put fuel in then you use what comes to hand, whether it is stamped Wehrmacht or not.

Hello!
This time I've got a question. There are a few Eisenwerk Müller und Co. jerry cans in my collection. Some of them have traces of original miltiary paint: Panzergrau and Sandgelb, but no "Wehrmacht" marking above the lower edge (as well as lot numbers). I heard that unmarked cans were prepared for civilian purposes but the ones from my collection look obviously miltiary... What's interesting all my jerrys without "Wehrmacht" but in army-style paint came only from Müller factory.
Examples shown below one in dark grey another sand yellow both from 1942.
In Phillipe Leger and Stephane Arquille's excellent book on the subject, they concur that ALL of the Müller cans bore NO Wehrmacht mark - they have no explanation for this.

I miss the word “Coburg” on this one?
Info would be Nice
Ps:
New user name folks, will introduce myself later again.
The town name was removed on many makers as the war progressed to protect against allied bombing .....

Neither my 1939 Müller can nor my 1944 dated 'FCX' (maker unknown to me, pics on previous page) can have 'Wehrmacht' embossed.
