M42 canteen with gaberdine cover and riveted loops MN1944

Textbook original M42 type steel canteen maker marked MN1944 indicating production by MeNeSa with a restored strap retaining stud. The canteen is a rare late war model with gaberdine cover, 3 and not 4 Pressstuds and riveted loops. The bakelite canteen cup has initials scratched into the bakelite. The canteen has had its bottom stud for securing the strap restored. Otherwise no issues and a nice variation to collect!
