Original U.S. WWII 1944 dated Mess Tin Engraved by Soldier in Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge Category_MG 34 Mounts and a high-cap stick magazineOriginal Item: One of a Kind. This is a lovely U. S. WWII issue Mess Kit or "Meat Can", made up of the correct steel plate, lower bowl and foldout handle marked U. S. M. A. Co. 1944. It comes complete with the correct U. S. Issue knife and fork. It is in very good shape considering what it has been through, with just some light oxidation in places. The back of the lower bowl was personalized by the owner during WWII, making this a great piece of WWII
