What period does this mess tin reproduce?
This is a reproduction of the D-shape mess tin used by British and Commonwealth Armies. It was in service from the late 19th Century until 1937. It is suitable for a Boer War outfit or a World War One impression.
Is a cover included with the mess tin?
The product description states that a mess tin cover is not included. However, some mess tins have shipped with a KD cover or a webbing cover. The quality of the included covers varies, with some being described as poor quality.
Are there any markings on the mess tin?
The mess tin does not have any markings. This allows for customisation to match specific historical impressions.
How does the lid fit on the mess tin?
The lid has a tight friction connection, and it can be very tight, requiring some effort to remove. It is expected to wear in over time with use. The handle is in the lid, making it suitable for frying or cooking.
What are common issues with the mess tin upon arrival?
Some mess tins have arrived with minor dents from shipping or with fingerprints on the inside from fabrication. There have also been instances of mess tins arriving unsoldered and leaking. The buckle on the canvas cover, when included, can be sewn too tightly and have sharp edges.
