    Hello!
    I can not answer for sure, since there are no documents explaining this. I think the RIA glass canteens were no longer produced after the October Revolution in 1917 (but this is only my opinion). WWI and WWII glass canteens are well distinguished primarily by the shape of the neck, and also by the shape of the body.

    Best regards, Michael

    Thanks for this comprehensive thread. It's very informative.

    Here is my wooden example. Unfortunately, the stopper is missing, but it does have a nice unit designation painted on it. The name of a German that captured it is written in purple pencil on the bottom.

    To the right, the unknown canteen, which is more oval in shape.
    The bottle neck is also narrower than the RKKA variant. A rubber stopper for the RKKA bottle does not fit.

    I have not heard of such cases. I think that during this period only WWII glass canteens were used (during the excavations in the battlefields of WWII, WWI glass canteens are also not found).
