I was reading about these recently and it appears very similar to the India pattern used prior to WWI. There were a number of variations and also private purchase versions in aluminium. The size and shape looks the same as the issue India pattern, but it is not one - the fittings are wrong-, so either a later variation or a PP version perhaps.

Whatever
its just an opinion.

Thanks jerry I'll try to research Indian pattern bottles and see what I can find

I found a few of these listed on ebay one is listed as
MILITARY METAL WATER BOTTLE
and has what looks like a P37 webbing type carrier for it .the other is listed as
WWII military canteen, water bottle
but is just the bottle it's self and says in the description
Military, enamelled tin water bottle with broad arrow stamp to base. Original finish and tin cap with chain.
anyone have any idea what these water bottles are ? or where they are from?
I looked up indian pattern water bottles but the info on the net is pretty scarce .
