Original German WWII Aluminum M31 Canteen with Felt Cover and Belt Strap - Marked SSL 37
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a nice genuine German WWII Issue M31 aluminum canteen water bottle with with aluminum screw top cap, complete with genuine wool cover featuring correct snaps marked S.H.B.. It also has a standard black leather belt harness, which has an aluminum belt hook on the back, for attaching to the combat rigging.
Both the canteen body and the canteen screw cap are marked S.S.L. 37. 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. We were unfortunately unable to identify the maker, however this is a known maker mark.
All of the straps, buckles and snaps are complete, though they do show age. There are cracks on the leather in places. The leather near the hook is a bit more split, and could use a repair. The original sealing washer in the cap is still present, and the felt cover is very good, with a few areas of moth damage.
An original German WWII Canteen, worn from use in the field. Ready to display!
