Category:
€ 300,00
Original German Wehrmacht M42 steel field canteen in very good, untouched condition.
The canteen retains its original felt cover with black leather carrying straps and is fitted with an original steel body maker marked FSS 43, indicating 1943 production by Linnepe & Schiffer Metallwarenfabrik, Lüdenscheid
The blue enameled steel drinking cup is maker marked AEMA 42 (Annweiler Email- und Metallwerke, 1942) and retains attractive remnants of a period-applied overpaint, with the original blue enamel still visible underneath. A particularly appealing feature for the discerning collector.
The canteen shows honest wartime wear and a pleasing untouched patina throughout. All components fit together well, forming a correct wartime assembled set with parts produced in 1942 and 1943, a combination commonly encountered on field-used equipment.
A fine and increasingly difficult-to-find original M42 steel field canteen, displaying attractive field-used character and ideal for any advanced Wehrmacht equipment collection.
