<p>[QUOTE="Ision, post: 2935845, member: 17064"]While WWII canteens were issued and used for some time after the war, the pouch is certainly from WWII, as it is dated 1941. The canteen itself is most likely also from WWII, the only update for later use would have been the cap...which can be easily replaced with newer ones. Even WWI canteens could be used in WWII, just by replacing the cap and pouch. But, this canteen displayed was made in 1945, and it too...is dated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
