Re: German canteen w/ cover (?)
Canteen itself looks to be pre war 1930's make as to waffenamt eagle I have never seen this on canteen so I have doubts about it. That early of a canteen wouldn't have a later Waa if at all cover I can't really tell it looks like it is missing its snaps and very well could be German early one. That is the best I can say. There are far many fieldgear knowledge people here so wait and see what others say. timothy

Early waterbottle with whats looks to be a added eagle ,never seen a eagle stamp on a waterbottle llid before

I also believe the eagle was added to the item because i don't recall canteens having eagle markings, but the eagle isn't that noticeable as i only noticed it after i got it.
The cover looks very old and is damaged, its not a button up cover but instead it has small hooks on it.
I got it with a couple of other non-German WW2 items and it was a bargain. Since the canteen is an original early piece, i don't think its necessary to throw it away just because it has a small eagle on the lid haha.. what do you guys think? Thanks for the replies and info!

Definetly you have a solid canteen to build from if you choose to do so. Thanks for showing it you don't see a lot of early ones anymore. timothy
