I don't have much in the way of enamel kits anymore in the past I've tended to flip them if I need cash quick here's one that's kind of funky with the painted outside had 25yrs, still use it for camping and war gigs must have boiled hundreds of gallons of coffee over the years German gear lasts forever but never drink from an old enamel canteen you may get shards in your guttiwuts.

At first glance, I thought maybe Austrian, but the markings are something like Dutch or Scandinavian. Certainly not German.

I've noticed that, none of these guys are wearing a MGSS sleeve badge.
Why would they bother they're not called the fifteen minuters for nothing "we eat and sleep with death" uumm catchy.... think I'll use that in me signature.

.... and I am hot on the trail of a Tornister with a green enamel metal brame made by BING as well... has anyone seen a tornister like that?
Yeeessss Chris but sold it was dated 1914 marked to a Artillery Reg. probably still is stupidity on my part it also had cloth shoulder straps with brass hardware and eyelets.
Funky made from that lovely early ochre cloth.
Here's a Bing 'frying pan'.

I'd appreciate help on identifying these field hosen particularly the stamp markings they are cut in the marine fatigue style, never seen them before the buttons probably aren't original.

Agree Richie
S. (Schutzpolizei) Op. (Oppeln district) I. (Abshnitt I) regulations 1932 Prussia.
The back of the guard probably has the mandatory official 1920 stamp.

Thank you Karel
I was beginning to think the gents here thought it a lemon lol! Yes it is a shame maybe it was filthy or rotten and just ripped out, so far I've resisted finding a liner for it, I can't bring myself to do it.
