‘Last Ditch’ coconut canteen
€170.00‘Last Ditch’ coconut canteen in good condition. These coconut canteens with simplified harnesses are of a unknown, exact specific design. Collectors discuss two possible specific uses for this design. One being that they are post war reissued with a simplified harness. The second is that they are unfinished examples that have been hastily fitted with a make shift strap and cap system in 1945 as a ‘last ditch’ effort. One could argue that they should have then been dated 1945 but this is not per se a must. I have observed many(!) 1942 and 1943 with 1944 dated buckles. This is a indication that either they kept using the 1941, 1942 and 1943 molds up until 1945 ór simply still had stock which could explain the fact that no coconut canteen bodies are produced in 1944. For a early post war manufacture it would not be logical that the straps would vary as much as they do because a post war peace time manufacture would not have the need utilising every single scrap piece of leather. Nor would it be a necessity in a post war Germany littered with wartime uniforms, equipment and for sure canteens.
This is for me, the most logical explanation that this is a ‘last ditch’ effort in fielding these otherwise unfinished canteens or produced from 1942 molds. Rare variant!

Rare orange bakelite canteen cup F7/K
€600.00Incredibly rare original orange bakelite canteen cup. This is a rare opportunity to buy an original orange bakelite canteen cup. This example is beautifully marked with a MPD code which was typical for period produced bakelite items. The MPD code F7/K indicates production by a still unknown maker and the usage of urea resin (which is a certain type of Bakelite) with an organic filler material. The bakelite is still in a very good and rather smooth condition and the material isn’t heavily affected by all the years in the ground except for some discoloration which in my opinion could be further cleaned. The only damages are some tiny cracks at the top of the cup. Beautiful original and very rare example!This cup was found in Berlin two years ago together with 12 complete and 5 damaged cups. They were dug up underneath remnants of a concrete floor together with other canteen cups and butterdishes. In 15 years of collecting I’ve only found one example for my personal collection: this is only the second time. Rarer then most Knights Crosses! -

M31 1L Labeflasche marked MN 41 / MN 42
€200.00Very nice large capacity 1L M31 canteen or Labeflasche in very good condition. This example has a greenish cover and is early dated which could imply this is a tropical issue canteen. The canteen is nicely marked MN 41 / MN 42 which indicates production by Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar (MENESA). This canteen is in my opinion a factory mismatched example manufactured in early 1942 with left over stock from 1941. The canteen comes in a textbook configuration with its original black bakelite canteen cup marked gfc 1941 which shows some engravements. Very nice 1L “tropical” example!
