Mango Posted June 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2020 I got this US canteen among some other items and I hope someone can help me identify it and the era it belongs to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M422A1 Posted June 7, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2020 If the canteen is real U.S.G.I., there should be a date on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milsurp_scout_14 Posted June 8, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 8, 2020 The cover is US issue of roughly 1973-75 manufacture, as that was the only ALICE covers they made with the vertical stitching in the front, and reinforced area around the snaps. Canteen doesn't look US issue; it appears too slender and that's an odd shade of green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted June 8, 2020 Thank you for the info. The canteen says 2000 in the button so I guess it's just a newly addition. The cover is pretty neat though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
