A basic three-piece, olive drab aluminum mess tin, the Germanic type used since the World Wars. Tried and true, the Finnish army uses almost identical ones even today because if we get rid of something, it's not gonna be our beloved mess kits. New production.
Consists of three parts; the lid, middle compartment, and the bottom part. The lid and middle piece link together with the handle of the lid. The large pot has stoppers on the base of the wire handle to prevent dangling around. There's also a tunnel and a groove to run a utility strap through. This way you can both secure the kit from unlikely but possible accidental opening and attach it to your gear. Painted green on the outside. All in all a basic model, very practical.
Weight about 500 grams (1.1 lbs.). Outside dimensions about 17 x 18 x 11,5 cm (6.7" x 7" x 4.5").
New made gear
The German Bundeswehr apparently hasn't sold their mess kits to the civilian market for quite some time, so numerous private companies have taken up the torch and made good replicas This is one of them. Made by the German company Anton Blöchl, manufactured in China.

None of the three pieces fit together well at all. It's like they forgot to measure. If I somehow manage to get them together and close it up, it takes INCREDIBLE strength to even pull them apart again. There is overspray all over the inside, I mean it didn't hurt with Romanian tin, but this one is a mess.
Stays true to the "Made in China", they clearly selected the lowest bidder.

The green paint is also on the inside and will flake off in heat.
There is play in the top hinge, and if I don't keep the set closed with a strap it will open up.
Only reason to buy this is if you don't like surplus.

Pakin kannen kahva on naurettavan löysä, turha kuvitellakaan että koottuna osat pysyvät yhdessä. Pohjan ja kahvan väliin jää reilusti tilaa.
Varsinaisen pakin roikotuskahva taas on muotoiltu jollain ihmeellä myös huonosti. Tämä on onnistuttu taittelemaan outoo kulmaan niin että jää toiselta puolelta 2 cm pidemmäksi kuin toiselta.
Enpä kyllä osannut aavistaa, että näinkin huonosti on mahdollista mitata osat. Mikä ilo on pakista kun se ei edes pysy kiinni? Epäilen että nuotion päälläkin saisi pelätä milloin keitot tippuvat tuleen. Olisi varmaan taas pitänyt itse huomata valmistusmaa Kiina. Uskoisi 20 eurolla sentään osiltaan sopivan metalliastian saavan, voisi ehkä nämäkin liikkeessä nopeasti vilkaista ettei tulisi turhia palautuksia.
