Canteens of this pattern were produced and issued from 1956 through 1990, making them one of the longest-serving individual equipment items in NVA service, largely unchanged in basic design across that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe canteen consists of a plastic inner bottle, made from a taste-neutral material to keep drinking water uncontaminated, protected by a canvas cover in NVA camouflage pattern. An aluminum drinking cup fits over the base or neck of the bottle, combining storage and drinking vessel into a single compact unit. A strap secures the cup to the bottle, while a separate attachment strap allowed the whole canteen to be hooked or fastened directly to the soldier's belt as part of his personal field equipment, keeping it within immediate reach without needing to be stored in the main pack.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition; Issued\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 0.7 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic bottle, aluminum cup, canvas cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e belt strap\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warsaw Surplus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59463223738693,"sku":null,"price":80.75,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/8994\/7717\/files\/FLACHEN.png?v=1790172163","url":"https:\/\/warsawsurplus.com\/products\/east-german-strichtarn-canteen","provider":"Warsaw Surplus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
