Der Kochgeschirr - The Mess Kit, Part 3

Here are few more pictures of the Kochgeschirr or mess kit and how it ties together with everything else.

Interior of the 1910 Pattern. Note the small lip on the right for securing the spork. 


Mess Kit with infantry pattern Spork placed inside. While this may look like an elegant solution of where to secure the Spork, it's really not. The Spork has a tendency to pop out of it's secure location and rattle around inside the kit making for a lot of noise. In practice, these were often carried either in a pocket or the bread bag.
