WWII British Army 1937 Pattern Webbing Water Bottle Carrier and Mk VII Enamelled Canteen.

Original Second World War British Army Pattern 1937 (P37) Webbing Water Bottle Carrier and Mk VII Enamelled Canteen.

A great, honest example of standard-issue British & Commonwealth wartime field gear, featuring genuine soldier provenance.

The Carrier features original khaki cotton webbing "skeleton" cradle complete with brass side buckles (for attaching to a P37 belt or shoulder strap) and brass press-stud retaining strap.

The Mk VII pressed steel water bottle finished in dark olive-green enamel, retaining its original hand-stitched olive-drab wool felt insulating cover with its original cork stopper, metal cap, wire loop, and twine tether attached to the neck of the bottle.

Good, honest issued condition commensurate with age and military service.

The wool felt cover is intact with strong stitching around the top shoulder and minor expected age-related wear.

The carrier webbing is solid and supple.

It is stencilled on the inside of the cotton webbing strap with British Army service number 14912462.

This number falls into the General Service Corps (GSC) intake block, indicating a late-war conscript (circa 1944–1945).

The brass hardware shows natural age patina and the press-stud functions securely.
