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..!
