Description
Take your customers back to the foxholes of Normandy with this faithful US WWII-style aluminum canteen and cup set. Modeled on the iconic GI canteen carried by American servicemen throughout the Second World War, this two-piece field kit pairs a kidney-shaped aluminum bottle with a nesting aluminum cup featuring a folding wire handle — the same configuration that defined American mess gear for decades. It's a workhorse for camping and bushcraft, an authentic prop for reenactors and collectors, and a striking display piece for any military surplus shelf.
The contoured canteen body sits flat against the hip, making it comfortable to carry on a belt or in a standard issue-pattern carrier (sold separately). The cup snaps neatly under the bottle for compact storage, then doubles as a cooking pot or drinking mug around the campfire. With its retro silhouette, leash-chained cap and unmistakable GI styling, this set also lands well with the surplus-fashion crowd looking for genuine military character pieces.
