These tins were part of the basic equipment of many Tommies, but after the first emergency the tins were retained as a great waterproof storage container for personal items.
New reproduction. Made to the same pattern as the original, but with modern materials that are more durable and will not stick to your hair. Complete liner including the rubber bumpers, upper padded cross, and brass attaching bolt/nut. The chinstrap is not a part of the liner.
Reproduction. This is the British knit cap commonly associated with Commandos, but actually issued to all British soldiers. To operate, you put your fist in one end, make a sock puppet, and roll
it up (yes, many people ask). My repros are an exact copy of the WWII
version in light khaki color. A limited supply has just arrived.
Used by by all services for carrying rations, horse fodder, the colonel's laundry, etc. Don't let the RSM catch you at kit inspection without your stringbag.
