The mess tin on the photos is it a Russian imperial army mess tin?
At the left of the handle the mess tin has a small marking.

After two and a half years, I still could not identify this mess kit. Does anyone recognize it? See pictures above.
The mess kit is made of copper. The handle is made of metal and have remains of green army paint. This could mean that the mess kit is meant for military use. The mess kit is not dated but it has a small marking near the handle.
The height of the mess kit is 14 cm. and the diameter is 17 cm.

Hi Gents: I wonder if some Mess Tins (and other Equipment) has this
"Cyrillic" Maker Mark,translated :"B .Sh. D.?"
I researched this stand for the (Warsaw?) Factory Branch of Brothers Brunner
Hugo Schneider & Rudolf Ditmar 1879 - 1914 (Outbreak of 1 WW) then perhaps
Mashinery was moved to St Petersburg?
They where making Aluminium & Metal Products (I found there Mark on my old
Imperial Russian Belt Buckle?
Any friendly Answer very appreciated!
