German Wehrmacht Bakelite Pot For Kart. Vorl. Geb. G. 36 1940.

1939 and 1940 dated, but as both parts come from same factory it is ok and we could call it matching. Not mint, but almost mint and free of cracks. Bakelite pot used for transport 3 Kartuschvorlagen, (flash reducer), for the 7,5 cm Gebirgs Geschütz 36:
"Flash reducer: A silk bag containing 20 gr, (0.70 oz), of potassium sulphate. This was placed on top of the charge bags in the cartridge case when firing at night; the combustion of the potassium salt provided an excess of nitrogen in the propellant gases at the muzzle and prevented their combination with the atmospheric oxygen to produce a flash".
