Hello,
When the 1 liter M31 canteen has these strap but not hook, it means that it was meant for the DRK. Same canteen, same closure straps, same carrying strap (missing here), but no hook...
Thanks

is a regular ... is absolutely original, is found in an old house that served as a German command-post , manufacturer: L&SL41
I just tried to say that this is not a standard medical canteen, but someone has stitched the extra strap to the cover of regular Feldflasche 31. And, of course, it could have been done during the war by a German soldier, who for some reason wanted his canteen customized with shoulder strap. He just used the materials he could at the moment, in this case some unknown piece of leather, some unknown metal rings and kind of cord to replace the shoulder strap. Interesting canteen, one of a kind.
I do not think something could be done on the frontline , not hand sewing !!
I have in the collection canteens that are rebuilt and modified on the front, but that seems very well made directly in the factory
Another problem is ... not finding the manufacturer?!
I understand ... I suspect this because I've never seen anything like it! Thanks

I've seen a few early manufacture water bottles that were medical, having a natural tan / brown leather harness and shoulder strap wihich was made and issued without the hook on the reverse.
