Description
Reproduction Mückensalbe insect repellent tube. The artwork was recreated from an original example and the tubes were filled with usable modern insect repellent picaridin lotion. It repels mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, fleas, gnats and biting flies. It contains no DEET but works just as well without any of health concerns. It should last up to 14 hours.
Some tubes may have printing errors / smudging (see photos), These errors are completely correct and often occurred on originals. I did reduce the size of the artwork slightly to improve the resulting print. Each tube measures about 4 3/8" long and contains about 0.8oz. of insect repellent lotion, which is about enough for a weekend. Originals were a very similar size, I guess the Wehrmacht did not believe in issuing anything in bulk. The cap is even a decent shape although I have seen a wide variety of caps used on original tubes. Price is for one.
