Original Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely lightly used set of genuine WWII German Mess Kit Utensils – Knife, Fork, Spoon, and Can Opener. These lock together, making a perfect set for any WWII collector. Originally these were often issued in a felt case, however these are offered without one.
The knife is stamped ROSTFREI with the manufacturer name FR. BURBERG & CO. A-G. / METTMANN – SOLINGEN next to the “Two Part Triangle” trademark logo. Rostfrei is the German word for stainless steel. The spoon, fork, and can opener are all stamped with FBCM 42, which also represents the manufacturer Fr. Burberg & Co. of Mettmann-Solingen and manufacture date of 1942. All three also bear a clear Reichsadler national eagle facing to the left.
All components are in excellent condition, with the original factory polish intact. This is a fantastic early war set from a quality maker located just out side Solingen.
