For me it left me eating as usual, but I flipped it in a trade for something else that would have had me on peanut butter sandwiches for a month. Here is what I have currently. The three at the bottom are post-WWI Verein (one for kb 10.IR, which is the primary regiment I collect). I recently bought the 22 Schuetzen. Div because of the Bavarian button design, and see they were in the same Korps, but I was uncertain past that if any Bavarians would have been wearing it.

Recently snagged these photos of a Bratpfanne, marked Bing 17. Apologies if the collector is on here, but I have to document all the Bing stuff possibly related to the wartime contracts. While an Essgeschirr in good shape still avoids my collection, here are some of my Bing items. Two canteens are enamel, and the other it painted steel. One of each Trinkbecher--aluminum, tinned steel, and enamel. And yes, I ended up with the small Bratpfanne Hoss posted above.

I have observed: Nickel on brass (or Tombak--but do not seem to see the Tombak except rarely) Nickel completely for Leib, Pionier, usw. Steel with the medallion applied like on the earlier style. These are more commonly painted black instead of Feldgrau. Steel stamped from one piece, painted Black or Feldgrau. I also see many more Bavarian buckles painted Feldgrau over the Nickel/Brass.

My Bavarian children. I keep turning them up in black; there are three here--a fourth resides with a friend. My feldgrau one is likely repainted in recent years, though I got it out of a collection in Germany. One brass and one steel came out of the US, the rest all came to me from overseas. Note the varied construction styles and the period repair to the one with the tab. Omitted mention of the blue souvenir tin in the above photo--it is a full sized Bavarian device mounted to a Gem Razor, UK, shaving set.
