M31 canteen marked HRE42 with pebbled leather straps
Excellent M31 canteen in very good condition. The canteen is marked HRE 41 / HRE 42 which indicates production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen, the difference in the dates is IMHO a factory mismatch made in early 1942 with left overs from late 1941. The cup features initials on the top which reads: R G, which could be the initials of a first and last name. The straps are made out of pebbled leather which is rather unusual for an early 1942 manufactured example. Very nice example!
