      The flash of the camera makes it shine.
      I'm collecting anything related to the towns Castricum and Bakkum during WWII.
      Also soldbucher from 116pzdiv. And 1944-1945 eastfront pockets, kampfgruppe and Oder front.

          Pierre is totally correct about the markings, typically you only see the first half or last half of the stamp. Glenn

              Sometimes these are unmarked. I believe these are pre-1945 German issue.

                  original unmarked messkits are not so common, but when made of steel and painted olive green, there's no big issue, WWII...I own a messkit made of steel with initials and unit engraved, but the previous owner surprised that there was no MM, made a scratch above the handle and finally dug out the MM, AEMA 43. Soft stamping and thick olive green painted made it invisible

                    Hello Rick,
                    according to the pics sent in your first post, it appears to me that your messkit is not painted steel, but enameled steel, and in that case markings are very often invisible because they are covered during the process of enameling. What a shame it's not complete
                    ciao!

                      Yea its enameled steel, only paid 5 euro's for it though.
                      Gonna use it on my bike, with a strap on it you almost don't see a part is missing.
