Mess Tin Holder (Halter für Kochgeschirr) Late Versions

When war goes on many German equipment was simplified in designs and material.

The ‘Halter für Kochgeschirr’ also went through the same evolution end up in abortion.

From the early version aluminum to the simplified late version in Iron.

And totally eliminated of the item at late war period, the crews was obliged to store their mess tin wherever they could.

Thanks to a friend in Czech who building replica German vehicles, he has a good health stock of these small parts.

I am lucky enough to obtain the late version Mess Tin Holder.

The late version is simply a bracket with a leather straps at center.
