Good price for vintage German EPA rations?

Post by saab b5 » Wed Aug 18, 2021 1:12 pm

Hi!
I can buy four vintage German EPA rations "Einmannpackung Typ IV" for 50$. Is that a good price?

And another stupid question, how old are these? 80's?

Great price. They usually show up for 20 or 30 each

Each item of the EPa say it´s production date on it. These square shaped main entrees containers and Roman numbers were in use until ~1999. "Jacobs" cafe, "Krüger" beverage powder are from past 2000. Ask for close up of the items and their dates. It seems "mixed" to me.

Way too expansive...

They were given away by the case (of 4) €50 as nobody wanted to have them anymore.
