Keystone Posted February 18, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 18, 2017 I found this on eBay recently. One of the snaps was broken (as usual for these covers). Luckily I had the exact part I needed for the repair! The female part of the snap was missing the inside plate. I had an old snap salvaged from an eagle snap canteen cover that was only useful for parts. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keystone Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted February 18, 2017 No markings but I would assume it to be a Phila Depot cover. A little different from my other one on the left. The stitching and the snap placement on the new one are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keystone Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted February 18, 2017 I'm always a little cautious when "cleaning" or "repairing" an item. The front part of the female snap was in good shape as was the canvas so I decided to give it a shot. I think it worked out this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gitana Posted February 20, 2017 Share #7 Posted February 20, 2017 Good for you! I was watching that but passed on it because of that flaw. I'm glad you got put it back right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
