This original WW2 M1910 mess kit, manufactured by T.A.C.U. Co. in 1941, features its original lid and pan in well-preserved condition. The handle is clearly stamped with “T.A.C.U. Co. 1941,” confirming its production year during the early stages of America’s involvement in World War II.

A standout feature of this kit is the personalized engraving on the cover, including the initials “R.W.” and “Cleburne, Texas.” These markings provide a direct and personal connection to the soldier who once carried this essential piece of field equipment, adding significant historical and collectible value.

The M1910 mess kit was a standard-issue item for US military personnel during WW2, prized for its durability and practicality in field conditions. The personalization reflects the human element of military service, making this not only a functional artifact but also a unique piece of wartime history.
