I searched quickly for another type of HAM SLICES, that one was packed 1127 (07. May 1981) with nice, precious printing on inner pouch :

nice i dont have that one. there must be a lot of different types made from the 1980 until they
stopped making them.

when checking the the old mci menues with the first mre menues
theyre pretty close on the menues.

now we nee to gett our selfs a prototype mre (cardboard box mre) for the collections
but i gues those are realy hard to come by....

cheers ken.
