Repro Canteen

Post by Freebooter »

Hello all,
I saw on Stewart's the straps and all to a repro Japanese Army canteen, but no canteen! Does anyone know where I can find a repro Japanese Army canteen? I live in Alabama, USA.. I saw one on ebay for $25.00 but it was like in China and the S & H was almost more than the canteen!
Thanks,

Apart from the Chinese ones on ebay you don't have alot of choices. The only other thing to do is to get the strapes from stewerts and then try to get a real canteen off ebay to put in the cradle, they come up quite often and can be picked up fairly cheap

Hello Tanaka,
Thanks. Actually, I do have a real one, one someone found in a cave on Okinawa. It is caved in some on one side and looks nasty, like it was burned or something. I would never drink out of it. I might order the repro one I saw on the Ebay thing.
Thanks,
Dave
