looks fine minus cup.
already have bakielit cup when arrive add
Hi
Not to be negative, bit it looks like the buttons will not close.... (often happens to the canteens because the felt sometimes shrinks when getting wet)
Also it is probably a put together one, because it should have webbing tabs on the felt as well.... this looks like a normal leather one, with webbing straps added
I hope the felt will close

I'm good thoughts
also i have question this is late war canteen ?
and i need someone to can help me with translate this lists with postcard found with this canteen in old german hause
the canteen itself (red enamelled) is mid to late war, the felt i can't tell... is there a maker mark on the inside between the buttons ? brown leather was used very early, but also late.....
the straps are probably around 42.... the earlier ones has alu caps, and this one is bakelite, which suggests aprox 41/42
