Product Description
Swiss Army issued cookware / mess kit (Gamelle / Kochgeschirr). Kidney shaped, aluminum construction.
First introduced in 1875, constructed of sheet steel, it was lightened by changing construction to aluminum in 1882 and remained unchanged, apart from an improvement to the handle mounting bracket in 1920, until it was phased out in the early 2000s.
Mess kit consists of the main body with handle, which has a capacity of 1.5 Liters (approximately 1.58 quarts), and the lid with arm which doubles as a handle for using the lid as a skillet.
Available in Black, Green, or Grey.
