Czechoslovakian mess tin, aluminum, surplus
The Czechoslovakian mess tin is a welcome change and a viable alternative to the traditional Germanic models. It's not even half bad! Even in the East Bloc trying something new was a possibility.

The Czechoslovakian mess tin is a welcome change and a viable alternative to the traditional Germanic models. It's not even half bad! Even in the East Bloc trying something new was a possibility.
This Czechoslovakian kit is a kettle-like bowl (1,5 litre / 90 in3) with a smaller one (1 litre / 61 in3) inside, and a frying pan that doubles as a lid. Both bowls have a folding steel wire handle. The larger one also closes the whole package, and there are strap loops on two sides to attach it to your kit or belt.
Cooking is only a matter of using either bowl on a field stove with the frying pan as a lid or just the pan as it is. The use is as simple as the construction.
Diameter 15 cm / 6", height 8 cm / 3", the inner piece is 13 x 7.5 cm / 5" x 3".
Used Czech surplus
In used, but good serviceable condition. Apparently, these have been washed before throwing them into storage, so you don't have to scrape off any borsch residue. We still recommend a decent washing before use. In some cases, the lid fits really tight, but this can be adjusted by bending the bowl slightly to be closer to round.

Update: it's actually surprising how much fits in here. Got fish cock, an esbit stove, tons of fuel, tea, matches, and a fire steel in this, an entire meal!
