I just received delivery from SG for a surplus water bottle and nesting aluminum cup with folding handles.

Swiss military it says.
The water bottle is good thick polyurethane, about the same thickness and quality of a GI canteen. It holds 3 cups exactly, which I found unusual since that is only 3/4 liter. Some kind of yucky brown stuff inside so they will be boiled and treated with chlorine before use.
The cup holds exactly that, one cup/ 1/4liter, and the handles fold flat to its sides when not in use.
There is no cover or method of belt hook up so it is destined to be carried in a rucksack or bag of some kind.
Note that the price is 4 units for $18, which makes $4.50 each a good buy if you are outfitting a family or group with light packs and minimal gear of excellent quality.
