Saw a strange US mess kit today being sold. The pan part of the mess kit is stainless steel, with a steel handle. Under light rust US, 1944, can be seen. It's the plate part of the mess kit that's strange... It's aluminum, just flat, no double compartment plate, with the hanging ring on one end. The plate seems to be a M1910 first pattern, which came out during WW1 (I saw one before dated 1917). WW2 dated pan... WW1 plate... Strange. Mismatched. Am thinking if I should get it. The plate part looks exactly like this... Just flat. (pic by US Canteen Guru, http://www.usmilitariaforum.com)

I would, if just for the novelty of it.
