Rare M31 Messkit marked OHW 44 with whitewash camouflage(!)

Extremely rare and almost impossible to find piece of standard equipment with winter camouflage (Whitewash). This late war produced aluminium M31 messkit or “Kochgeschirre M 31 (Alum.)” retains up to 85% of its green olive coloured factory finish paint. The paint is covered with traces of winter camouflage in the form of Whitewash, Whitewashed equipment is very hard to find! The messkit is nicely marked OHW 44 which indicates production by Otto Honsel, Werdohl in 1944. The lid of the messkit has the owners initials HZ scratched into the surface of the paint. Excellent untouched whitewashed winter camouflaged messkit in great condition which would be impossible to upgrade!
