Great photo, thanks for sharing!

Hi,    Thank you for the information.  Also, do I have the ID of the item correct?  I have seen these called officer canteens as well as Naval Landing Forces canteens.     Best Regards,                       Fort Susquehanna

I see top to bottom in the middle,1679

Ein Kaplan, here interestingly wearing an oversize cross not between the top and bottom cockades but on the crown of cap, with top cockade moved to the cap band.

Anda one more.    

I don't know the exact meaning, but the letters indicate these things.   ・[砲 "Ho-U"] Cannon ・[竜 "Ryu-u"] Dragon ・[一六七九 "1679"] or [六七九 "679"]

Bottom 3 characters look like 679. Others can't make out

I just acquired this.  I would like the characters translated if possible.  

Up for sale is a group of Russian/Soviet era Propaganda Posters. These are reprints (hence reproductions) of the actual posters from the 1930s through the early 1950s. A good selection of posters that measure 16 inches by 11and ½ inches. Some of the posters have some slight stains in the corners but they are in very good condition. There are 19 posters total. The original package had 21 posters so 2 are missing. I will cross out the posters missing from the group (Xs in BLUE INK). These were printed around 2003.   I am asking $22.00 for the group plus $6.00 shipping. ($28.00 total)   I will not ship overseas.   Payment methods I will accept are PayPal (F&F) or buyer adds 4% and US Postal Money Orders.   Thank you for looking   Leigh 

Welcome to the WMF!

Glad to have you aboard,  LeadSpatter. Ken

Thanks for that. I hadn't considered such possibilities
