arnhem44mad Posted June 26, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2016 Hi guya and gals. Does anyone the correct model of bag for a ww2 camp scene of the 36 gallon lyster bag? Is there a ww2 model and a post ww2 model? http://m.ebay.com/itm/WW2-War-Era-US-Lyster-36-Gallon-Canvas-Water-Bag-/262481721883?nav=WON&trxId=0 Is that the correct model for a ww2 setting? Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixbayonets! Posted June 26, 2016 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2016 Scott, I would look for one that is WWII dated, I would assume they were also made post war. Here are a few photos of one I have dated 1945 for you to compare. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnhem44mad Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted July 6, 2016 Hey lads. Bag arrived but the bit where the water pours out is white plastic. I feel that this isn't what they would have had during ww2. Is this a correct assumption? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted July 6, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 6, 2016 The WW2 bags had black spigots as shown on the photo above and below. The manufacturer and date should be stamped on inside (usually) or outside near the top. Mine is marked Meese 1945. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnhem44mad Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted July 6, 2016 So its most likely a post war one? Aw gutted! Has the canvas cone shaped area at the top of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
