As these PLA Type 51 canteens are surplus and from war use, please anticipate minor variations from the canteen pictured. Mainly there may be areas where the paint has worn, or the canvas webbing strap may be khaki colored instead of olive drab green. These are not reproductions or brand new items, so expect some differences from the canteen pictured in areas like finish and color.

An aluminum canteen will hold approximately one liter. Cotton webbing holds the canteen securely, and the shoulder strap is adjustable. So far there haven't been any leaks when the cap is secure, the canteens came clean and required minimal washing. Minor dings and slightly worn webbing do not affect serviceability. I am fully satisfied with this product.
