Stainless Steel Swedish Army Messkit?

[Mallow Man]

Does anyone know where I can get a stainless steel Swedish Army messkit in the UK?

Like the photo (part way down) in this link

do you mean the one next to the woodlore sleeping bag.. because that is the only thing i can see to fit the description.. this is not a messkit though.. its a swedish army trangia, and i think i am right in saying it is not stainless, its aluminum.
and you can get them here

Don't know of anywhere in the UK, but you may want to try this, as you can see it is not the complete kit (or at least by the looks of it), but you may be able to mix and match.

I think he means the one in this pic...

...and yep, it most definitely is stainless steel.

Oh right sorry about that. are the ones on the website below aluminium or s/steel?

 

[Martyn]

Do you mean this link? The picture is definitely a stainless steel kit (they only have one ring around the top, alu kits have two rings) ...and the site says that they are stainless steel, so I would say yes, stainless steel.

But....

[tomtom]

No, original design - sort of. But the Polish, Finish, Swedish and German kits all look sort of similar - many are kidney shaped though (the Swedish kit is oval). The Swedish one is the best though, as it comes with it's own alcohol cooker, wind shield and pot stand.
