Steel striker from a company called ravenforge. But not only did I receive a nice looking striker, also in the envelope were two sweets and a signed photo of the folk who work there. That genuinely brightened my otherwise dreary Monday!
Used these in the past as well, very goodStainless Steel mess tins arrived, unissued as promised but since they have been on a shelf in a Dutch Army warehouse since 09 I polished and then washed them inside and out.

A bit lighter gauge than the Zebras etc I'm used to but I've not heard of anyone burning through one. I'm happy with them.

The idea is interesting but is it functional?
The mitts arrived and I'm very pleased with them. I had the vague worry they would be big on me even with liners underneath but they as spot on, more like large than XL in my reckoning. I could still wear liners but they don't need shrinking. I'll lanolin them when next I do my wool hats and will sew a couple of cotton tape loops inside so I can do the toddler thing of running a cord from one, up the sleeve and down the other to the other mitt. They may look stupid on a adult but better than losing one and more versatile than clipping them to D rings on a jackets cuffs.Ordered a pair of boiled wool mits from here
Dachstein Boiled Wool Mittens
Alpine Wolle Mitts are classic heavy duty, pre-shrunk 100% wool mitts for serious mountain warmth. Often called Dachstein Mitts, they are made well oversized and then boiled to shrink to a thick felt like mitt. Some classics just work so well they are timeless, and these are one of them. A...helko.co.uk
Since a tenner seamed a reasonable price and I've wanted to try Dachstein type mitts but have been put off by the £30 plus they normally sold for. I've some old unissued army goretex outer mitts to go over them.
Herself no longer tells me what the postage is when ordering me stuff as she found me going off on a rant or outright refusing to finish the order when i find out how wide the reamer is annoying......
May lanolise them when the arrive.
