A good example of an original
World War Two
French Army M.35
3-Piece Aluminium Mess Tin
(Gamelle Militaire)
Dated 1939
Measuring 6" x 6" x 3.5"
and still retaining its original inner tray
to complete the 3-parts of the tin,
the carrying handle & clip have rusted back to a good solid feel
whilst the remainder of the aluminiun tin is now in an
attractive slightly 'bloomed' silver finish.
The base is date & maker-marked
M. AM. DU MARSEILLE
1939
A really nice example of an early war
combat-issued, Dunkirk-era
French Army O.R.s mess-tin from Normandy..!
Thanks for looking..!
