            I need to look at my media files and will then see if I can digitise the sequence. As mentioned before my can was associated with an aircraft loss, the material it is made from also makes sense for conditions where rust would be a great problem. As always research is the key, I have yet to find documentary evidence to confirm the general use for the cans, but the pictures speak for themselves.

            Kind regards,
            Simon

                Nice collection of cans! A scan of the copy of the regulations would be very useful for all.

                Best Wishes,
                Simon

                    They were used by the Wehrmacht, but i don`t think they are German made!

                          Interesting that your example appears to have a line of holes along the base, has the bottom been replaced?

                            No they are the divots made by the spot welder. They are filled with paint so the look like holes in the photo.

                                THanks for the extra photos, makes sense now. My example has less paint on it.
