Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice example of the carrier used for the U.S. Marine Corps 5 gallon collapsible "water bladder" style canteen. Having adequate water in the field was always a problem, however bulky canteens were not optimal for moving larger quantities of water. The collapsible canteen was lightweight and took up very little space when empty, so they were great for transporting water back from fresh water sources. The canteens themselves unfortunately usually do not survive due to degradation, so empty carriers are often found, such as this example.
This fine example was issued to the U.S. Marine Corps, as indicated by the faint ink stamped U.S.M.C. on the front side. As far as we can tell, these were generally only issued to Marines, so this is definitely correct. There are no other markings that we can see.
Condition is very good, with the original OD green #3 color retained very well, with some light wear and staining. There is wear and some oxidation on the fittings, however this carrier is fully complete, with all buckles and straps present and functional.
Ready to display!
NOTE: Empty Carrier Only. Canteen not included.
