We are offering for your consideration, an all-original German WWII M42 combat field canteen "Feldflasche" issued in 1942. This is the VERY RARE first issue "red steel" 0.75L bottle canteen. It is complete and in VERY GOOD Condition given it's age. It has not been cleaned and will clean up very nicely! The clean red enameled steel flask is in EXCELLENT (near perfect) condition. The green steel drinking cup has the correct red inside, and is marked "L&SL 42." (The white on the exterior of the cup appears to be a "plaster of paris" like material that will clean right off.) The Bakelite screw lid is in excellent condition and still has the red washer inside and works perfectly. The wool cover has some moth nips and t is evidence of wear on the backside near the clip. The 4 steel snap-on buttons are all intact and working condition. The black leather strapping is in VG/EXC condition and is still pliable with some surface cracking. The solid steel clip is painted field gray and is marked on the underside, although I can't decipher it, t is an "&" present. If you want to complete your collection with excellent original WW2 German field gear canteen then this is it. ***VIEW MY OTHER ITEMS FOR SALE AT: /albums/dd267/germaniamilitaria-hotmail-com/ (CLICK ON THE "SUB-ALBUMS")*** Please view the pictures and email me with any questions
