WW1 German Medical Canteen 1917

This is a nice complete German World War 1 M1915 Medical Canteen (Feldflasche für Sanitäter). The new pattern canteen for the German Army was first introduced in June of 1915. Production now turned to tin plated and enamelled steel in order to save scarce aluminum that the M1907 canteen used. This is a Model 1915 canteen with cloth cover with metal press studs and leather straps, the straps are in good used condition, the long shoulder carrying strap is not present. The cloth cover is maker marked and dated 1917. The canteen is complete with an original enamelled cup, the cup is nicely maker marked by the company of 'Eschebach' from Radeberg and dated 1917. Scarce original World War 1 medical canteen in good used and uncleaned condition as found!
