You translated the word with Google Translate I suppose?
I think the letters represent an initial. Initials are often encountered on Russian militaria.
And here on the left is a rocket, yes?
I don't need any translator becouse russian is my second language and I well know it.
And it is a speciffical eastern sense of humor. That mess kit seen many of my friends-collectors from Russia and Ukraine: all of them were laughing and nobody of them were not shocked. And I'm not shocked too. This word means: dick, moron, something bad etc (but the main is that first). It is very popular in russian, ukrainian, belorussian and polish "non-official" and vulgar language.
And how about "initials"... Show me any russian name which is started on a letter "Х"... Good luck
PS. I well know about that, that writting surnames or initials on the mess kit or spoons were very popular in the Red Army. Most of these things that I found on the battlefields were signed. But soldiers made each other a jokes like that too.
