History / Summary
From around 1910 and comes out a revised model, which now has a one-piece, shaped handle.
Eßgeschirr M1908 / second model
For practical reasons, the handle was performed now with iron because, as is known, aluminum is a good conductor of heat and rapidly overheats. During the war, mess tins used for the production of substitute materials, including enamel and the iron plate that covers the outside special colored lacquer. They were not overly liked by the soldiers because they were heavier and prone to damage the surface of the enamel or lacquer. Few enameled models were produced in the colors feldgrau, besides were also painted black
