Is this Mess kit original one (used by Army)? Thanks in advance

The one that I received was the same government issue type that I used in the Army in the early 90's. My guess is that it's a Viet Nam era type (I'm not that familiar with Army mess kit history). They are very durable, since they are made of steel instead of aluminum. I hope this helps.

So I got the bowl to make ramen noodles in while deployed to Afghanistan and when I'd try and use it for that it was a little more squishy than I would have liked so I ended up making a mess enough times that I got another more sturdy bowl. It is very well suited for solid food/snacks but I didn't have a good experience trying to use it for soup. Hope that helps.

The pack that I recieved is genuine used military. It had been repaired but it was done by someone who knew what they were doing. It holds everything that I need for overnights and day packs.stonemeadows

It is a replica of the WW2 canteens that were used. So in regards to that era, yes it is. As for the modern day canteens, no it is not. It holds the same capacity of water (1 Qt) but you can not switch canteen cups.

I wish I could help you. I sent this to my son when he was stationed in Afghanistan because of all the dust. He said it worked well. Easy to clean, which was a real selling point for him, he said. How this helps. Good luck.

the ones I got were new production and didn't include either of these. I have been rotating them in and out as I use them for camping trips and they are just like the ones we had in the military in the 2010. I have not gotten any old or repackaged product.

Yes, I'm currently in Afghanistan on a US military base and I have it washed at their laundry drop off site which is then washed in a regular washing machine and finally dried. No issues yet.

The one i got was green camo with khaki accents. I bought for my brother who is a marine so that he wouldn't have a girly diaper bag to carry. He loves it.

Nope - but what else they could title the item to describe the product I don't know - I guess they could say mess kit w/o utensils. It is still the best damn mess kit (without utensils) on Amazon IMHO - I've abused the living hell out of mine and they keep right on going as good as the day they were new.

I believe it is the us army knife, WWII era. I could be wrong, if have to take a look at it; as it is put up.

Yessir. It's the same can we used when I was stationed at FT Bragg. Just wash them out with hot water first then treat the water for storage. I keep em in my vehicles and houses just in case.

No, it's just the original stuffed animal design. Sorry. Excellent gift though!

I've used an older set directly over the fire for several years. It will warp and discolor but will work fine. Really, it's a cheap mess kit, you're not going to cry if it gets ruined.

I think it is. It was packaged and looked like the original packaging. I assumed it was from an original Lamaze factory, but I don't really know how to check that.
