Item Description
Postwar Austrian messkit repainted in post-1940 "gelboliv" finish for reenactment use. Earlier production, that is almost exact copy of German M31. Undated, only marked "PSL" for West German maker Paul Schulze, Lübeck (also produced for export to Austria in early years). Undated PSL messkits were mainly Austrian Gendarmerie contracts, Austrian military and West German police contracts were marked with year.Strap is supposedly original WH messkit strap with postwar Czech reissue stamps, but has no German maker stamp. So also possible is early postwar Czech made from German materials following German pattern. However it has correct length and hole number (8 close spaced holes) unlike most repros, that are too long with too many holes with wrong spacing. Late war steel buckle without roller.
Fire damage on and inside lid from cooking in open fire, but not affect use. Bottom is clean.
