Picked up this messkit last Saturday at the flea-market. At first I thought just another piece, then placing it along side another www2 messkit, I noticed a number of differences - its bigger - has four soup portion marks as opposed to the normal three - the MM’s stamped on the piece, the initials I couldn’t find in any data base on this forum or any other forum. The initials on the body and lid are slightly different lid Bag41 - body BT41, however both pieces have a common third stamp (maybe a inspection Stamp) a cross + above a letter T in a rectangle can’t say I’ve seen this stamp before either, the lid handle has differences as well - a small bracket riveted on it and apertures notched out of it, overall its in nice condition. But I’m puzzled, I know the Gebirgesjäger had oversized canteens did they possibly have oversized messkit as well ? any help appreciated.
