M31 STEEL Canteen & Straps! The M31 canteen was based on the M1893 and M1907 canteen which were used throughout WW1. These were originally manufactured in aluminum, but as aluminum was required for use in other equipment (aircraft, for example), they were then re-designed to be manufactured in steel.
Made of steel with a felt covering. This late-war canteen is in GOOD condition for it's age. There is no major corrosion or damage, and features a clear manufacture on both the canteen and cup, indicating, "L&SL 43". Leather strap does have a break, so it would need to be repaired or replaced.
Some wear to the felt cover! Addition to any collection or display!
