Great post, really useful. Thank you.
Still so good. A pitty it might be lost if we do not know it exist.
Might be put as a sticky.
Still looking for the one on the mess kit

Two nice ones. Congrats! Kaspar is a good and reliable seller with very fair prices.
Are they possibly the Red Vyborzhets plant, Leningrad? I can see part of the Leningrad stamp on one of them
Thank you
Nick
Hello! That's right, Nick. Good things.
This is indeed the "Red Vyborzhets" plant, Leningrad.
Only this single plant produced this aluminium model.
Best regards,
Michael

I was on the search for a Soviet VDV issue canteen mess kit for a while when I ran across this last year. It is only slightly different than all others that I’ve seen as it doesn’t have an external bale and it has a tab and slot on the outside seemingly to hook the pot and cup together and use the same handle possibly for cooking. There are not acceptance marking but aside from the Soviets I can’t find any other similar designs, it’s well made so I don’t think it’s a Chinese copy but I could always be wrong. If anyone can help me identify the country of origin or has any information as to why it’s different that the rest of the model 1971 Soviet issue canteen kits I’ve found I’d be very appreciative.
Hello! This is a "tourist" canteen, USSR. Such canteens were also used by the Cuban army.
