MODEL 1910 FIRST PATTERN “FLAT TOP” CANTEEN –
SCARCE MODEL: This canteen is the fairly scarce
early production “flat top” Model 1910 Canteen that has
the early pattern screw cap with the flat top surface as
opposed to the later dome shaped cap, and the seamless
body construction.
The canteen is full form with no significant damage or
cracks. There are a few dents and marks indicating the
canteen was used in the field, but the canteen is not
abused or misshapen. The original chain and ring are
present and intact, and the cork liner is still present
in the cap.
There is no maker stamp, as is correct, however the top
of the cap and bottom of the canteen body are both
stamped with numerals which are probably unit and
individual soldier’s inventory and identification
numbers.
This is solid example of the scarce early pattern Model
1910 Canteen.
