your out of luck your lids have been rehomed :eek:

Just as well these were not ones you had sent in advance. Did you get paid for all the ones you posted before receiving payment?


[aside} This may seem cheeky but I know Russell generally posted these as soon as he had an address, not as soon as he had payment and I would hope that such an act of trust had not been abused.

Sorry Russ,
I forgot!!!
A great idea, well made, fits like a glove (well more like a well fitting pot lid i suppose but you get the idea)

Okay you asked Russ

One of you lids in use with the US forces - guy I know over there uses a Crusader so I offered him one of mine

Needless to say he was delighted with it!

I must say the construction is very robust! I already tried it directly over the coals of a fire (sorry, no pictures), and it works great. A big plus over coals is that the lid isn’t so tight fitting that you can’t lift it off with a small hooked-branch to see if it’s boiling. Another great feature is the small handle on the top; it’s nice and tight, so once you put it in the up position, it stays put!


He gets about it so you may get piccs from some "interesting" locations :D

Sorry if I got things confused about whether or not they were freebies. :eek: :eek: :eek: I guess you'll let us have the paypal (or other) details in due course. They sound excellent value - as I think people have said before, you really should patent these before someone copies them.


Geoff :)

I've already made a few LOL Both for the crusader and the US army G10 :D

Hello

First of all hi from a new member....my dad made me one of these back when I first joined the Army (way back in 81 (yes, I know pull up a sandbag etc...!)). The smart advice then was to ditch the 58 pattern mug and use a metal US one as it meant you could do without mess tins and save weight etc. Was also big enough (just) to fry one egg or 2 slices of bacon grill... Unfortunately this antique (the lid not me) doesnt quite fit on the Crusader and I have avoided the BCB placcie thing so far for all the reasons stated on here. Currently I am using a small frying pan as the lid but its a bit on the big side still. I am working in Cambodia at the moment so will try to get one made up here, but if not would be delighted to get added onto the bottom of the list, £10 seems very reasonable for me if its still a goer...
