A-Frame set-up

[Ken B.]

Here's something I've been working on. Need 2 more mess kits and I'll have 2 more complete A-Frames. Can anyone help me out with nice conditioned mess kits?

Enjoy

very nice Ken. I love fully equipped A frames set ups. hey, PM with the the specifics on the mess tins you seek, such as condition, year, matching top/bottom, price you want to pay...ect. I see them all the time, Im sure I can link you up to 2 of them over a short time. Glenn

Original Mess Kits

About 15-20 years ago I bought 50 messkits from an ad in Shotgun News, I was getting them to sell to reenactors. When they arrived, they were all 43 and 44 dated, unissued German mess kits with paper between them. I had given $1.95 each for them and offered them to the reenactors for $10.00 each and sold about 20 of them. Most were happy with their Bundeswehr or East German mess kits so I had 30 of them sitting around my house. I sold the rest to Col. Bubbie at the Stand Surplus Senter in Galveston for $5.00 each. He took them to his warehouse where he stores his stuff but I never saw him sit them out for sale so he may still have them. You may contact him and see if he still has any of them left.

Keep me abreast.
