Original Japanese WWII 1942 Dated Aluminum Canteen Captured by American Soldier & Painted with Map
-
Original Item: This is a nice totally original USGI bring back Japanese WWII aluminum canteen with original "Model A" Aluminum and cork stopper. This was the first type of stopper used with this model canteen, a carry over from the earlier smaller canteen, which was replaced by this model in 1930. This example has maker markings on the bottom, as well as a date of 昭 / 一 / 七, read as SHOWA 1 7, or 1942.
The canteen is painted on one side with a map of Japan with some locations named. It’s a great depiction with dots giving accurate degrees. There is even a scale painted! This must have been done by someone with experience in cartography.
Overall a wonderful WWII era issue canteen offered complete with some great markings! Ready to research and display!
