Did the Canadians continue to use Blue Bottles after the British switched over? Is the cord cord attached to a loop or disappear under the cover?
The Canadian fawn felt covers were also one of the patterns used during WW1.

Thanks for the reply I must have been having a moment this morning the color of the enameling is grey not blue as to the stopper cord it disappears under the cover and is joined to a metal loop on the top of the bottle.
Most examples of the P-08 canteens I have seen have the loop for the stopper cord on the bottom of the neck on the bottle.
