75 packed BW breads - how old, collectable?

[Gran Sasso]

A friends rescued those from the dump - is there a way to tell their age, and is this stuff sought after?

Hi Patrick,

very nice find. They are the first pattern, still showing ther US-No (Unterkunfts- und Sanitätsmaterial), the precessor of the NSN.

I paid 10 € for my single pack in mint condition. They are sought by collectors of early Bw. The exact year of manufacture is hard to tell, because the US-Nr. are without date. But on the side should be the year pressed in or stamped.

Bye

Thanks for the info, Frank - should I look for the year-stamp on the side of the single packs, or the big box?

Single Pack.

But I thinkk they are made before 1965. I wouldn´t eat them...

Well, when I was in the army (1992/93) we eat the "cookies" (nicknamed "Panzerplatten"), made in 1963...

Panzerplatten and shoepolish, the best firestarter in the field.
