Original Imperial Japanese WWII Aluminum Canteen with Canvas Carrier & Kanji Markings

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely aluminum canteen with original "Model A" Aluminum and cork stopper. This was the first type of stopper used with this model canteen, a carry over from the earlier smaller canteen, which was replaced by this model in 1930.

The canteen is arsenal marked on the bottom under the strap, and is stamped but is difficult to make out. The canvas carrier also has some faint Kanji stamps, a good research project.

The original leather strap that loops through the stopper is mostly present but broken, and the remaining pieces show very heavy crazing. 

The web harness is in good condition, with the expected fading and wear from being in long service. There are some faded ink stamp markings on the fixed end of the shoulder strap, which we unfortunately cannot read.

This is a wonderful canteen that comes ready for display!
