The USGI WWII Canteen with Cup was one of the most widely used canteens during the World War II era. Officially designated as the M-1942 Canteen and replacing the M-1910 the biggest change was the use of corrosion resistant steel. Previously the M-1910 was made from aluminum which at the start of the war was in short supply due to aluminum being needed for aircraft construction. With this reproduction M-1942 canteen with cup you can recreate the look and feel of a World War II era US soldier at an affordable price.
