Has anyone ever seen Sheffield utensils inside US mess kits? These were found in a WW1 dated 1917 kit.

I have had a French made mess kit that practically cast iron rather than aluminum.

pretty interesting. The fork/knife combo's were pretty cheaply made when I was a kid (early 1970's) Theses are a lot nicer than I ever had. I'll ask over on the world forum if they are Brit issued.
