Individual components show production year codes including 62, 63, 80, 82, and 84. All components are marked ROSTFREI, indicating stainless steel construction. Length approx. 19 cm (7.5 inches measured against an inch-scale ruler). Condition: These sets are in issued military surplus condition with evidence of authentic field use. Surfaces show consistent scratches, scuffs, and areas of minor pitting throughout the metal. The items are mixed-date sets with components originating from various production years. The mechanical nesting function remains intact and secure for all three sets.
