The M31 Messkit and Wartime Variants

[JPhilip]

Hello Chris,
I'm sorry to say but the RZM marking is a bad one.
You never find RZM markings along with usual makers' marks...
You can find RZM markings or the usual two (ex: MN), three (ex: MKK), four (ex: AEMA), five letters (ex: ZPStZ) makers' marks...sorry...only the MKK 38 is original to the messkit here.
Thanks

Thank you for the info.
I found it in the woods in Hessen ,so I did not get taken.

Hi Nuno, it is an original mess tin and the makers mark, ZPStZ 38, is correct. But I would not buy it due to the missing handle.

Cheers, Ade.

What do you think of this one?
Only 20€... I like the colour, looks from 1943 based on your guide and I guess it would look great for a Normandy 12.SS Hitlerjugend impression. Need to get the leather strap... which size is the suitable for it?


Thanks again!
