shemp h. Posted June 22, 2021 Share #6 Posted June 22, 2021 If you can get the canteen out of the cover look for more marks or kanji, but DO NOT force it out of the cover these old thin covers rip easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daskrieg Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted June 23, 2021 No worries im NOT into destroying items just for some hope of finding a mark. Any idea of the value of this canteen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shemp h. Posted June 23, 2021 Share #10 Posted June 23, 2021 Hi Dwayne, by your photos and the condition IMHO I would say between $125.00 and $ 140.00, a dealer would get a little more, I believe 30% more.PM sent. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
