Hi,
I acquired at ebay this arr42 kit that has also "interlocking SS runes" stamped on the lid. I have never seen this type of markings on weapons/equipment so I suspect that can be a fake markings, althought this work is very well done. I have seen many SS related fake markings on Rg34 kits, but all are easily identified as fakes.
About the can, it's the arr42 fine stamped variation without Waffenamt and regarding the inner content, all post war parts (Aluminium oiler, blued takedown tool,...). The can paint looks original to me, but it seems that after stamping the interlocking runes, someone has painted the chipped paint spots again (compare with the metal exposed spots at the right in the lid).
Searching, I have found in the WAF another kit (a tinned Ky1936/WaA265) with the same markings. No other example known by me.
Opinions are welcome.
