DND Tetrachlorine Pump type vehicle extinguishers

[rob love]

I had the camera out to the shop tonight, and thought I would share some photos of some of the varieties of DND marked fire extinguishers in my collection. These are the Tetra-chloride type which were fitted to the WW2 vehicles, as well as the earlier M series. I have been fortunate to find them laying around at my favorite milsurp scrapyard over the years. Some were dented, all took on some patina from the elements, but there are interesting variations that I have found.
From left to right they are:
1: unknown manufacture...."Property- DND Army" stamped on top edge
2: General fire "Quick Aid" model, "Property of DND Army" stamped on small data plate attached above manufacturers label.
3. General fire "Quick Aid" model "DND Army" embossed on body above manufacturers label
4. Pyrene manufacture "D.N.D. Army" embossed on cap in large letters
5. Tetra manufacture "Property of DND army" embossed as part of manufacturer's tag

I'll show some closeups of each in the following posts.
