British D shaped mess kit

[Buck]

Hi folks,

Is there any one here who has the skills and time to make me one of the above. I have two reproduction copies I can lend for the pattern. I would like them to be food/cooking safe, so probably made from stainless.

This is one of the copies I have to give you an idea of what I am wibbling on about. The copy I can send has a third pan/pot insert.

I have a Zebra pot and various other makes of pot but these just seem to pack in my bergen so much more neatly. I can't take them as neither of the ones I have are food/cooking safe.

If you can help please PM me.

Many thanks

I've just realised that i had an original of one of these sets from my grandfather. Annoyingly, i believe that it may have been thrown away.... I have no idea what it was made of - perhaps some kind of coated metal, as the coating seemed to be wearing thin from memory. Inside them was a little tin labeled 'sterilising outfit' - probably iodine tablets i'd imagine.

They where tinned inside and out. Yes, they did wear thin.
