Robert,

Good observation. Its very similar to the Olympic version put out in 36.The Olympic version was the first Scho ka kola product manufactured by Hildebrand. So I think this version was introduced after the Olympics.WR Jim

Hi Jim
Yes I read somewhere about the Olympic one given to athletes at the games, would this be worth more or the same as the wehrmacht tins ?

Robert,

These are considered civilian models and bring a lot less than the Wehrmacht Packung ones, even though they are a lot rarer than the military ones. If you decide to sell it and take Paypal I would be interested in it. WR Jim

PS I am writing a book on rations and I have a poor picture of the same item. I would love to get a good high quality picture of the front and back of yours on a clear background. Of course you would be credited. The book is at Schiffers now but I should be able to add the picture once we get it back for review. If interested please E Mail me at:
