>>164787yes it is surplus, it is the Swedish army mess kit M/40 in stainless steel
this is a picture from when it was new, its been in the fire a lot and doesn't look nearly as neat now, still functions flawlessly and could easily be repainted if I bothered, its heavy compared to some newer civil camping stuff so I cant recommend it to light packers but if you want a sturdy mess kit that wont break and runs on alcohol or wood, it is a good option
