Nkomo Posted March 6, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2021 This a captured SWAPO PLAN (People's Liberation Army of Namibia) canteen and cover. Canteen is Yugoslavian in origin. The cover appears to be hand made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kia kaha Posted March 7, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 7, 2021 Another fine piece of aid from the eastern bloc, but you do need to carry water in the Namibian velt. The craftwork of these things is truely an art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kia kaha Posted March 7, 2021 Share #6 Posted March 7, 2021 Looks like it’s made from a leather jacket or from a leather chair one of the belt straps is from a boot I think.( the brown pebbled one) it is industrial treated leather not the type walking around the bush. 4 hours ago, Nkomo said: Thanks for the comment.
