Minty M31 messkit marked kvu 44

A nice minty M31 messkit marked kvu 44 indicating production by Rudolf Fissler KG, Idar-Oberstein. The marking kvu is rare and is the late war substitute for the marking RFI. This is also the last known marking for this maker. It is presumed shortly after the factory got liberated or bombed out. The messkit still retains up to 99% of its original factory paint and it would be very hard to upgrade this minty example.
