An original World War II British Army Mk VII enameled water bottle (canteen) complete with its original 1937 Pattern webbing sleeve ("bucket") carrier.
A great, honest example of standard British and Commonwealth infantry field equipment from the 1939–1945 period.
Standard wartime Mk VII steel body with dark green/blue vitreous enamel finish, visible through a small wear tear at the bottom corner of the cover.
The Felt Cover retains its original stitched khaki wool felt insulating cover.
Shows honest age-related wear including a few minor moth nips and one small tear at the lower left edge, with original factory stitching intact along the top shoulder and rear seam.
Complete with its original cork stopper, rusted steel cap/ring, and braided cotton retaining cord tied to the neck.
Original 1937 Pattern woven cotton webbing sleeve carrier with blackened brass side buckles.
The webbing shows a light period blanco finish and typical service wear/staining.
A faint wartime manufacturer ink stamp (C.T.A.) is still visible inside the top rim of the webbing carrier (date and War Department arrow have faded with age).
Please note: Sold as a historical military collectible/display item only; not recommended for drinking use due to age.
