    Welcome aboard, No need to apologize for your English. I am pretty sure everyone can understand your message, without much trouble at all.

    Your English is certainly better than my Italian. Looking forward to seeing what you have accumulated.

    It does not look familiar to me. Possibly for a field kitchen?
