Untouched 5 Liter Trinkwasser marked Ritter Aluminium made in Germany

A nice 5 liter Trinkwasser water carrier in untouched, uncleaned condition. The canister is marked Bauart hre hersteller avx indicating design by Heinrich Ritter. 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 underneath 70 years of dust. Nice example to clean or display as is!
