A possible way to decipher the capital letter maker´s mark found on mess kits and can

[me6_130]

If some of those firms are still in bussiness, you might contact them and ask what code they had during the war, so you might get a confirmation.

PS. Some might not want to know anything of that period, so might not help.

Here you see that I simply overread the M and N connection.
And indeed would this maker be a second candidate for using MN as a code .
Using the HRE rule another possibilty could be MNN . I do not know if
there are mess kits having this code.

hello bernahrd

to answer this question, I can tell you that I have never seen such a code MNN on a mess kit or canteen
it is not part of my list
beginning by M, I have only MN and MKL.
somebody told me about the possible code MKK but no picture to prove it

Hi unterscharr

From your posting I guess that you tried to identify some makers of
equipment from your collection by using Michael Heidlers book.

Very good matches are :

HWSD ,
W.S.M,
StW

Not sure about the S.S.L being the maker's mark of Sieper & Soehne either.
For CFL I did not find a possible candidate.

Best regards

Bernhard
