A later war all steel ESB (Ed. Sommerfeld, Berlin) mess kit with red lacquer interior dated 1943. These later variants do not having the ration grooves and also have steel flat wire handle brackets that are welded on instead of the earlier riveted aluminum. Interesting to see the vertical drawing lines in the steel.

Exterior is near mint. Interior has been stored poorly and much of the lacquer is gone replaced by light surface rust.

It is named to what I think is "Schmuder" although the "c" looks like an "s" but this makes no sense ("Sshmuder"??). I have found examples of the "Schmuder" surnames on genealogy sites so I think my reading is correct.

War Relics Militaria sales

Description: This item is a WWII German bunker lantern that was dug at Stalingrad. This was brought to the U.S. by a good friend of mine
who visits Volgagrad and digs with Sebastien. The lantern is complete and in VG condition. I believe it would work correctly
if you wanted to actually use it. Prefer to sell in U.S. but will ship to Europe for actual mailing/insurance costs.

War Relics Militaria sales

Here is one of the 400,000 WW1 British MK1 Brodie’s issued to the US AEF forces. In this case to a soldier of the 104th Infantry regiment who "flashed" his helmet. Flash is faded and chips but it is still there (a Torch)

Helmet is in decent shape given that it is 100 years old. This saw action for sure with some dents and dings but 95% paint remaining. The chin strap was mostly there but sadly when it was packed something snagged it and it broke.

Stamped H.V. 639. (Maker: Hutton & Sons Ltd of Sheffield and steel supplier: Vickers Ltd of Sheffield. Steel lot # is 639. Brass wire lugs on split rivet bales

The 104th Infantry regiment took part in six major campaigns: Chemin Des Dames, Apremont, Campagne-Marne, Aisne Marne, St. Mihiel, and Meuse-Argonne" and experienced some of the heaviest fighting and suffered the greatest number of casualties of the U.S. 26th Division
