The old US Army bullet shaped canteens proved to be too noisy for Vietnam's guerilla war. They could only be carried silently if completely full or completely empty. A new 2 quart jungle canteen was developed which was collapsible and silent at any fill level. It was carried in a specially designed nylon pouch which could be affixed to the pistol belt. This US Army Vietnam 2 quart jungle collapsible canteen cover is in excellent condition and is dated 1966 (DSA-100). It features a small velcro closed small outside pocket for water purification tables and is a great relic of "Uncle Sam in Vietnam".
