Before you buy
- Ammo cans and mess tins are usually sold as issued, with dents, paint wear and stampings intact. That's part of the charm, but check the photos if you want a clean one.
- Sleeping bags and tents vary hugely between issue generations. Check the era and the season rating before trusting one in winter.
- The NSN on a label tells you what an item really is — 8465 is individual equipment, 8340 is tents. Check one with the NSN Lookup.
- Surplus ration packs are sold for novelty and prepping. Check the date and only eat them within it.
