    Italian messkits

    Hello,

    I have a question.
    The italian messkits had a aluminium handle. On the ones which were re-used by the Wehrmacht are iron handles. What was the reason?

    Hope you can help me!

    Cheers

    Hello!!
    also the Italian messkit have the iron handle..
    The first models were all aluminum
    these having been acquired after September 8, 43 were probably models built during the war and then the war economy removing aluminum where it was not necessary (what happened also to German Essgeschirr )

      Hello Mattia,
      Thank you for the explanation!
      I didn't know that there was a First model.
      I have two messkits with the Iron handles.
      Today I got a messkit with all aluminium - than i was wondering.
      Are the First Models rarer than the others?
