Scarce Pre-WWII / Early Third Reich Wehrmacht Reservist Feldflasche - "Parole Heimat" - Complete with Tricolor CordAn exceptionally rare, untouched original early Third Reich period German Wehrmacht soldier's commemorative souvenir canteen (Reservisten-Feldflasche), dating to the pre-war rearmament era (circa 1935-1939). These highly traditional items were privately commissioned by soldiers upon the faithful completion of their active conscription service, a practice severely restricted after the outbreak of total war.The front features a highly detailed, multi-colored lithographic insert depicting a textbook early Wehrmacht infantryman in full march order with a stenciled helmet and rifle. Crucially, the reverse features a striking, clean graphic presentation centered around the bold red gothic slogan "Parole Heimat" (Password: Homeland), beneath the curved black-letter inscription "Zum Andenken an meine Dienstzeit" (In Memory of my Service Period).The bottom lower section features beautifully detailed period military insignia inserts, including the Third Reich Reichskriegsflagge (Imperial Combat Flag) displaying the central swastika and Iron Cross, flanked by the traditional national Black-White-Red tricolor shield and the Wehrmacht Heer army eagle shield.The round aluminum canteen body remains completely intact with its original layered screw-cap/drinking cup setup. The piece is complete with its original, heavily woven heavy wool carrying cord styled in the classic Black-White-Red state colors, surviving in remarkably vibrant, undamaged condition. A magnificent, elite-tier piece of early Wehrmacht social and military history, presenting spectacular display appeal.
