    Neat! I like the old rations, and actually opened and taste tested a 1945 ration a while back. Gross, but interesting. Biscuits don't seem to last and are usually rancid.

    Interesting tin although I would be concerned that the 'C Broad Arrow' has been added to enhance the sale of this item. Have a look other images of wartime rations and you will see that this tin does not conform to what was used at the time.
