Hello,

I've found this canteen (cover + canteen) in France in a flea market.

The cover have no marking (the canteen is dated 1945).

What do you think about this cover ?

Thanks

Bertrand

Made in Japan, Taiwan, or China.

 

Hello,

 

I don't believe the cover was made in Asia, the material seems to be really military (including the hook) ? and here in France we are very far from Asia.

Another opinion ?

That particular type of edging material often indicates a commercially-made cover. Also, military (army) canteen covers had rows of stitching on the front and were dated. This example, therefore, has at least three indications that it was not made under military contract, despite the material being similar.
