It's seen better days but still a nice piece. Can you see any markings on the canteen itself? Or are the buttons so rusty they can't be unsnapped?

Well MAP, I will have to take a look today and try to unsnap the buttons. I will let you know.

I think the canteen is usually marked on the neck, just below the threading of the cap. You should be able to move the fabric enough to see any markings without having to unsnap the buttons. There's a good chance they'll break or rip from the cover if you try that, in this condition. The rust also weakens the surrounding fabric.

Earlymb, you are right. The buttons are to rusted to be unsnapped, I tried that this morning. I'll try to move the fabric on the neck when I get home from work. Thanks for the heads up.

I've checked the stamping in the neck and it's a clear stamping wich says EEF 43. Nice to see it matches the stamping in the leather straps. Underneath the felt cover the canteen is in really good condition.

That's great! As long as you keep it in a stable environment and don't try to unsnap the buttons the cover will be fine.
