Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic find! We have never had one of these large WWI Australian Medic's Tin Water Bottle Canteens before! The inner body looks to be soldered tin or aluminum, and measures about 7"H x 6 3/4"W x 3 1/8", which we believe gives a capacity of above 2 liters. The mouth of the canteen is quite wide, and plugged with a sizable cork. The included small canteen cup looks to be zinc or tin plated copper. We could not find any legible markings.

The canteen comes complete with it's original wool cover and leather carrier, which are not marked. These canteens were larger as they were used by combat medics, who might need to tend to multiple soldiers, so a lot of water was necessary.

Combat medic material is always desirable on the market. A very nice and rare example, ready to display!
