November 28, 20223 yr #4 The whole canteen looks a bit too clean to me, maybe done by someone post war? Or another thought a really bored GI in occupied France?
November 28, 20223 yr Author #5 compared to other engraved canteens in the collection, I would say its a modern engraving.....no dirt or dust in the etching....
