Canteen Question

Estate sale find. Nested in a Baker Lockwood 1941 carrier with the seam at the back. Appears to be a pre 1918 canteen, but with a 1945 dated plastic cap and a steel chain. Common for older canteens to be refitted with newer caps?

 

Thanks, Al

If it was broken and repairable it was usully repaired taged combat servicable and re issued. Very common to see older canteens with later type caps.

 

 

Thought so. Thanks much. See you next week?
