Chris Boonzaier Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Nice1... what are those round ones on the right?
Hoss Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Hi Chris you mean the M87's ? yea from not having one 8months ago now I've a few only one (from Brian L.) has the hanging hook though, I like em they don't go for much mate lets keep it that way folks! Eric
Daniel Murphy Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Hoss. Nice collection. I have a one off enameled version with reversed colors . Blue on the outside and feldgrau inside . I figure it is a Monday morning or Friday afternoon screw up. Dan Murphy
Hoss Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Dan I liked to see it also sometimes boiler and lid colours are flipped yet the kit looks matching Mr Wartime is a mad scientist lol! Eric
Joe Sweeney Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Eric,Very nice-I'm glad I'm not the only one with an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.Then again Chris has the issue to with German Gas masks.Joe Sweeney
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Then again Chris has the issue to with German Gas masks. Joe Sweeney Thats not an ISSUE... it is simply being prepared.... you never know when you will need one.... ;-)
Kornel R. Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Very impressive Eric ! I like ... no , no ... I love M16 cups . and have some .. Thats not an ISSUE... it is simply being prepared.... you never know when you will need one.... ;-) regards Kornel
MG1918 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Very nice and all very well, but you cannot beat a wedgewood porcelain if you need a really good cup of tea! However for my education what is the standard sop kit list for a German soldier's "eating" arrangements? Could you photo Eric a set x one for what the chap would have in the field? If not too much trouble, Mark
Chip Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Mark, I think you pretty much have it in that photo of Eric's. All you got was a mess kit, a spork, a cup and canteen. A salt bag was issued as well as a coffee tin. That was about it. Everything else came via meals-on-wheels or iron rations. Chip
Hoss Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 This was floating around ebay for a couple of weeks so I snagged it, unusual I've seen anything like it before reportedly from a east european dig. Eric
Chris Boonzaier Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 extremely interesting piece indeed!!! Any stamps?
Jock Auld Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Eric, Could this be WW1 era, it is quite heavy, could be zinc over steel but it looks quite crude? Possibly not German? Cheers Jock
Hoss Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 Hello Jock for me its not German WW1 I don't see the ration marks. Eric
Hoss Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Interesting pictures from the Bavarian Museum I've not seen this kit before any gents tell the model or year? Eric
Chip Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I've got some Bavarian uniform and equipment plates from that era. The writing with the pictures is tiny, but it looks like the model is an M/50. Chip
Hoss Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks for the number Chip only thing I've found is a Axis Forum thread from 10yrs ago no pics unfortunately. I wonder what they used for a handle maybe something akin to the '87 cool kit I like the backpack also. Cheers
Hoss Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Further to my post 11aug '14 I found picture of another round job ''top' can anyone id the maker? also on a French forum 2007 they are listed as an Artillery kit? I can't find mine maybe I through the puppy out, dam it.Eric
Chris Boonzaier Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I vaguely remember a French friend talking about a "Cavalry" model, totally different from the Regular one... anyone heard of that?
Chip Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 The name is "Bumgardt". Can you read the factory town location? It looks like the last part of it is "a.RH." (am Rhein).Personally, I've never heard of a "cavalry" model mess kit. There's nothing mentioned in Kraus, if that makes any difference. The Brits had a separate cavalry pattern mess kit. Perhaps that is what the Frenchies were thinking of? This round one would certainly not fit into a standard cavalry Kockgeschirrtasche.Chip
Hoss Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 Chipcourtesy of the French forum (I hope I don't get in trouble borrowing the picture), a relic bottom I may have seen something in a colour lithrograph image pre 1900 but don't remember completely, on a gun crew wearing zelt's ala bandoleer.Eric
Hoss Posted June 30, 2015 Author Posted June 30, 2015 Boiler controversy. I've had an email from a gent the 1887 was complete oval. They didn't have a concave back until the pattern 1893 is this correct?Eric
