Costa Posted November 15, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2018 I once saw a thread on a 41 dated canteen that went for big bucks on ebay. the question is how scarce or rear are they and why?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted November 15, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 15, 2018 Anecdotally, I look at every WWII US canteen I see and have yet to find a 41. I'd guess I'm batting 0 for 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldabewla Posted November 15, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 15, 2018 They are rare due to the fact they were only made in very late 1941 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keystone Posted November 19, 2018 Share #6 Posted November 19, 2018 In many years of collecting I've only had two. I sold one a while back and found this one on eBay last month. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
