Do you need them for a medical trial related to Alzheimer's or something? ;D
Yes, I have a set and no, I'm not selling them. The left over curry taste is finally 'just right'.

I think I still have my set. Yes, the Canadian Army also used them, and No, they are not for sale. One could reach new heights of culinary pleasure attacking with the KFS Set a combination of lukewarm generic meat, parsley boiled potatoes, mixed veg, grease marketed as gravy and canned peaches all slopped together.
I was able to rub mine with a paper towel and get Silvo residue which had become absorbed into the metal from frequent shining no matter how often they were washed.

Glad to help - though they struck me as a bit pricey with shipping.ObedientiaZelum said:

I'd say that mess tins, or some way to boil water and cook food individually, are essential during any conflict that sees troops living in the boonies, away from the Mess hall and Tim Hortons for long periods of time, viz:
"Bill Wilson and I, always on the look-out for something to supplement our rations, picked and ate what resembled corn cobs from an allotment kept by the local Arabs, which gave us both a violent bout of dysentery, leaving us feeling very weak and washed- out. This was a lesson we learned the hard way and thereafter took great care with what we ate and drank, ensuring that we boiled every drop of water, often after having scooped tiny newts and minute insects out of the mess tin before making our tea, the water perhaps having been taken from a nearby stream. Without fail, the tea tasted like wine to us."
