[visor]

Need opinions on the following please. Real or fake?

[SHINDENKAI]

Hi Visor-san,

Definetly real, and in fantastic condition.

I have one and a winter mess kit cover as well.



Cheers!

That's a good one!

I just picked up a mess kit one, here is a sideways pic. Have no idea why it is sideways, but it is what it is.

I cannot clearly see the first kanji of the surname ... but it looks like 大.

I,ve never seen these winter covers before so many thanks for showing them

I recently bought this cover. Would a regular army canteen with carrying strap be inserted into it?

[Nick Komiya]

Yes, a normal canteen goes inside. There are at least 2 versions, the later model improvised a covering for the exit of the carry straps as freezing started in those two exposed sections.

Thanks, Nick!
