Feldflasche 1 Liter MN 42
Hi friends, I am re-packing some items for storage and thought it might be of interest to post this canteen. It came from a large batch of canteens stored in a barn in Straubing. Some were in better shape than others. I pulled this one out of a box and was amazed at the condition. Apart from a bit of damage to the bottom of the cup and a little bit of missing paint on the carbine hook, this example is in great shape. It is a matching MN 42 marked example with the bottle, strap and cover all marked MN. Cup is marked gfc 43. I note there is also a blue ink stamp on the strap with the number 445. Despite the new appearance, the leather strap is original to the canteen. I doubt that I will ever find a better 1 liter canteen. NH
