German Marines China Reservists Flask

Price: $599.00

Exceedingly rare reservists flask for the 3rd SeeBataillion. Front shows two German Sea Battalion soldiers and the reverse shows his service time in Tsingtau and Kiautschou, China from 1911-1914. Anything from the German East Asian station is very rare as it was a relatively small contingent. Unfortunately the eagle on the cap is missing its wings and the string normally around the flask is missing. See Bataillon material is scarcer but China station material is even rarer.
