Russian Airborne Mess kit and flask

[Dontkillbill]

I just got this piece of kit in the mail and I cant wait until the mosquitos die down so I can get out in the woods and make a fire and break this kit in. Any suggestions for a menu?

Glad you posted that wee review up, not seen one of those before, are you going to do a video of it being used in anger?

Absolutely,

I need to clean out the grease that it was stored in but I think I've gotten that taken care of and then as I mentioned I will give her a test drive. I never saw one before either. I was on ebay and it came up while I was looking for a gift for a shooting buddy that is into Russian things and it immediately caught my eye.

Nice lid I will have to try and find a piece of Aluminum and do the same.

My kit had a thin layer of oil on it and smelled like the rubber stopper inside the canteen. Did yours?

I got one of those in St Petersburg last time I was there (4 US$!). Nice little kit, but I had two problems with mine. First of all it needed another washer for the canteen itself, as it was leaking from the rivet in the cap. Worse was the inside stain on the canteen which I haven't as yet been able to get rid of.

Sounds like a cool trip did you score anything else?

Some canvas furlined army mitts - very cosy (although the fur looks suspiciously like kitty)! Again US$4. Was seriously tempted by an officer's leather and full-fur-lined coat that was shin-length, but at $200 was a little pricy - although I'm regretting not buying it now. Again, some of their army winter gear looked seriously warm (not surprising really). Brought a few more odds and ends, although can't remember exactly what now!
