German WWII M31 Feldflasche Military Canteen | Cup, Cover & Leather Harness | Mint Condition

Outstanding original German WWII M31 military canteen, or Feldflasche 31, complete with its cover, leather harness, metal drinking cup, and belt suspension hardware. Introduced in 1931, this familiar piece of field equipment was carried extensively by German servicemen throughout the Second World War.

The canteen retains the components collectors want to see together, including the felt or wool cover, leather retention straps, attached metal cup, and suspension clip. Complete examples make especially effective additions to a field gear display because the M31 canteen was one of the most recognizable pieces of everyday equipment carried by German troops.

The belt hook is marked "Patent Ritter," indicating manufacture utilizing a patented fitting associated with Heinrich Ritter of Esslingen, Germany.

Presented in exceptional mint condition, this is an unusually clean example of a piece of equipment that was normally subjected to extremely hard field use.
