Description
A mess kit is a collection of silverware and cookware designed for use by military personnel for food and military rations. While functionally similar to a one-man civilian mess kit, military mess kits are designed to be even more compact, using their space as efficiently as possible. Thus lids will almost always be used for preparing, cooking, and/or eating, and usually come in two or three pieces. As such, it may sacrifice certain features, or use other features to complement it. When in a large camp, it is common for soldiers to use either normal dining ware, or a multi-compartment mess tray similar to a TV dinner tray, but much larger.
Made of aluminum and steel, this mess kit is in NICE used condition! Though there are some marks, scratches, and slight wear due to the age, it is still very solid! The solider also inscribed his initials into both halves. No damage, however, the D ring/clip is missing from the lid. Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!
