Description
How is the reenactment canteen different from the original? The original canteen, no matter how good it may be, will very quickly become unusable if used in reenactment. First of all, this applies to leather parts: the strap usually breaks. The leather may look good, but it loses its elasticity over time. So, after getting wet in the rain, you can easily break the tip of the strap or loops of the cover.
Using the original canteen in the reenactment, you can destroy the collection item quite quickly - and be again without the canteen, buy it once more or repair it!
Therefore, we offer an original canteen, but with good copies of the lid, mug, case and strap.
The canteen is original, without holes and fistulas, in good food condition. There are small dints on the canteen because it was used in the war. The canteen was preserved in an attik, cleaned with special chemicals from the inside so that you can drink from it again. The cup is copy made of plastic. Strap with aluminium parts. Aluminium lid (copy).
Volume 1 l.
The original flasks have the stamps: MN42 and DMN43 of aluminium, very rare samples! By 1942, aluminum flasks were no longer made for the Wehrmacht, and they continued to be made of aluminum only for the huntsmen. Choose next to the Add to cart button.
Historical reference.
The cup was included in the set of a standard 1931 Wehrmacht Jaeger flask. The earliest glasses were aluminum. But they were quickly replaced with bakelite (plastic) ones.
