    I’ve been equipment collecting with a focus on canteens now for exactly a year. I’ve made great progress and found some really excellent examples for my collection, weather it be rarity, condition or character. It’s always fun to look back at where the collection started so I thought I’d share.

    Lots of early ones here, dates from 1931 to 39 and some nice wartime examples too.

    That said I still have many, many more types to add to my collection so I am far away from being finished.

    Below is my current collection compared to a collection picture from a year ago.

    Cheers,
    Bodhi

    Hello,
    Well....that's quite a nice representation of the german Feldflasche accross the years....
    Only a few rare items are still missing in the photo but they'll join the family quite soon i guess, considering the time it took you to already build a great canteens collections.
    I say a lot "better quality than quantity, unless you can afford both", that's your case, quality of the item first, because it should be among the main roots of a collection, quantity just because it's addictive and there is always a variant to be found.
    Congrats for this Feldflaschen collection and thanks for sharing
    Thanks

    Now I know who to ask when I want to buy one
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
