Produced in 1943, this German WWII M31 field canteen features a red enamel-coated metal body stamped ASL 43 along the neck. The assembly is enclosed in a brown wool/felt cover with snap closures, a black bakelite screw cap, a leather harness with a metal snap clip, and an olive drab painted metal cup matching stamped ASL 43 on the handle bracket . This example displays honest service wear throughout, including minor edge paint wear to the olive green cup, light surface cracking and age wear on the leather harness, and natural fuzzing or toning across the wool cover. Measures approximately 10 x 7 inches. A crisp, matching-marked mid-war field accessory, highly collectible and ideal for completed World War II military gear displays.
