phantomfixer Posted September 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 2, 2019 Picked this up today with a few other WWII era canteens...the cover is OD canvas..with an inside pocket 5 inches deep...the pocket has a flap with markings...which look to be dated 1945...the cover is oversized, no insulation. Does not look factory made...very basic construction..Lift the dot fasteners any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
