 - dated 1942)
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice original German Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) M31 Aluminum tropical canteen (Tropen Feldflasche), complete with its bakelite cap, cup, canvas carry strap, and genuine wool cover.
The canteen body itself is marked MN42 (Menesa Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar), and there is a mold number marking on the bakelite cap as well. The companies that made the Aluminum components for canteens often did not use three letter codes, so these are actually abbreviations of the makers name, and the date. The bakelite cup is also dated 1942.
The wool cover has the correct early issue 4 snaps, which are marked on the back. It has the correct tropical canvas loops which hold the carrier, which is made of the the same DAK color cotton web. The rear belt attachment buckle on the harness is painted in gray and is not maker marked though the front buckle is marked with C.A.&S. The canvas carrier is in good condition with solid straps though the bottom leather strap is torn.
Overall a very nice chance to pick up a good condition German DAK canteen.
