Description
Authentic Late-War German WWII M31 Canteen with Wool Cover, Leather Harness, Bakelite Cup, and Steel Body
This is an original late-model German WWII M31 canteen, standard issue to Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS soldiers during the war. The canteen features a steel body with its correct wool sleeve, secured by the original leather harness. The harness remains intact with functional straps and hardware, showing typical wear from service use.
The canteen retains its Bakelite cup, a material often used in late-war production to conserve metal resources. This version reflects the simplified wartime manufacturing changes while still maintaining the durability of the M31 pattern. The wool cover shows age and wear but is complete, with stitching and securing straps holding firm.
An excellent representation of a late-war German soldier’s field gear, this M31 canteen is an ideal addition to any WWII collection, display, or living history kit.
