Very nice kit. The cover is light and handy, and it is very well put together. My only complain is that the lid/dish is VERY tight and it takes some working to get it off. I'm sure it will wear in, in time. Other than that, very satisfied!

Very good for the money. The one I received was a little bit dented on the front from shipping and the overall shape was a little more oval than the originals. (needs to be a little flatter along the back) That said, it more than passes the '5-yard test' and is a good repro for museum visitors to handle. Also discernable enough as not to confused with an original.
Jerry always delivers!

Great piece of equipment.
I used it this weekend with success.
Extremely prompt service.

A beautiful mess tin which only requires some boiling over an open fire to take away its newness. The cover was improved by a hand wash and being allowed to dry on the tin.

With this comment in mind I should say that my soft Service cap was improved 100% by wearing it in the shower. Be careful, it did shrink slightly!
As many people suggest the chin strap is too long, so I cut it back a bit. I also darkened it down with shoe polish. With a vintage badge it now seems close to perfect. After looking at many photos I do wonder though if the peak is a little too large. I would be curious to find out how you study the making of your excellent reproductions.

I especially love your stiff service cap which also now supports a vintage cap badge. I ironed the top brim to settle the seam down and give it a sharper appearance. Everything about it seems to evoke the early days of the Great War.

Another excellent repro. As mentioned, soldering is a little rough, but I consider this authentic, after all they were intended for utility over beauty! Needs a good wash out before use obviously. As for the canvas vs webbing cover, I have an original set of mess tins with a webbing cover (but the tins are rusting, hence buying these ones to eat out of) so either is correct.

This mess tin is amazing, would be worth it at twice the price!

Ander - CA USA

Très bonne repro pour reconstitution, compléter un mannequin, etc.
Le tissus de la housse est un peu fin par rapport à l'original, mais une bonne patine, un bouton d'époque et vous pouvez la monter sur un mannequin

Great product for the price. Super fast shipping. Can't be beat.

Jerry, this is a great reproduction of the World War One British Mess Tin. All I have to do is scratch the hell out of it and get the bottom blackened by my Tommy Cooker and it will match my original one (safer to eat of though). Cheers, Bill

I believe WPG has some of the best reproduction equipment and clothing around. After 17 yrs of re-enacting, WGP is on my top 5 list. Right at the top. #1

wall - US

These items were purchased to use in a Victorian impression. As such I expected to have to make new covers. The tins themselves and good quality. and I wold order from this firm again.

Woodward - US

Great item. No complaints at all, both about the mess kit or WPG's service. I will be a return customer!!

Brady - US

The inside was a little dirty, but a nice scrubbing with steel wool and cleaning will make it shine. Highly recommend!

Kruger - US

It was better than expected, bigger as well. all is in order and will provide me great service. I must say though the lid is held on pretty tight, not too much of a problem though. all in all a great item.

Michael - U.S.

A cracking little item, now with the handle in the lid for frying/cooking. The cover included in the price- a great deal for the price, as often these are sold seperately.

Looks great on the back of your 08 webbing!

Clarke - GB

It's as good as I've seen

Turner - CANADA

canvas type cover is more correct than competitors farby web type, well done.

Davin - Australia

Fantastic mess tin. Wish the handle in the frying pan dish was included, but still a great item for the kit. My compliments
