MattS Posted May 22, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2020 Just received this today, stamps and date on the canteen are well defined (Showa 19 = 1944?) and there is a faded stamp on the carrier strap. As I understand, late model canteens had no leather straps or metal buckles on the carrier. Any help learning more would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shemp h. Posted May 22, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2020 Yes Matt you do have a late war canteen and you are right about the strap and buckles, and your canteen was made by Ikeda Aluminum in Osaka. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
