The canister is marked SMM 41 which indicates production by Süddeutsche Metallwarenfabrik, Mussbach. These carriers where first introduced around 1941 probably due to the hot climate in Italy and Africa. These are becoming hard to find and are a good and secure way to take drinking water to the front. This one still has most of its original paint and stencils and is in very good condition!

Beautiful and textbook ZF4 sniper scope lens cover. The lens cover is made out of a leather strap, wooden plug and a pressstoff made cap.

Perfect rare example which would be a great addition to any combat mannequin or a focussed knives/bayonets collection!
