Dutch army crusader mug? Or do you want fixed handles?

but watch your lips!!
I was going to suggest an old fashioned (1950s-1970s) style Sierra cup www.survival-gear.com/sierra-cup.htm
I have a double wall ss mug. Keeps your brew warmer longer and saves on burnt lips. Fixed handles too.
Not seen them myself but seem to recall someone querying if they were 'proper' enamel or just painetd
An Asda near me had s.s. double walled mugs for 3 quid awhile ago [don't know if they are still selling them - an guess that one adsa is the same as any other] they were summit ones with a karabiner handle. The handle feels pretty flimsey but the rest seams pretty solid.
Insulated mugs are great but you can't cook in them - for lightness it might be worth getting a plastic one instead
I've not yet found a double walled stainless mug with a decent handle - they all seem to have tiny spot welds that break too easily

Yep no good for cooking also AWAY too small that's what I've got me billy for 
the karabiner bit is screwed on and it's coming loose already - I've had to tighten it twice [only about 2 months old] but cracking for holding hot liquid - without having to wince manfully - so I may just take the handle off to save it getting bashed off anyway, at least that'll save some space.
Also my 6 year old has stood on it and my 2 year old has taken it into the garden and given it a good throwing around - try that with a plastic mug!

Not really keen on plastic either, a titanium one would be great for the lightness and durability(no wired handle tho please). so far the one Peteo is the front runner, but keep going guys
If you type enamel mug into ebay, select used, you get a good selection of proper ename mugs and cups for little cost, light and robust, good for the fire if your brew gets cold, and solid handles,
The old pattern US Army canteen cup has a folding handle which folds under the cup, and locks in place with a sliding clip when in use. Much better than the wire handles, and well worth looking out for in surplus stores.
