BW Water Bottle, Aluminum, Surplus, B-Quality

Heavily used 0.7 L aluminum canteen of the German armed forces. These have been used from somewhere around the ‘50s onward. We sell this batch as B-Grade, which means cheap. But don't worry, it won't affect your drinking. They can have dents and scratches but your drinks won’t leak, which is what counts.

Features

A simple and compact aluminum water bottle with a screw cap. They can fit about 0.7 liters (23.7 oz) of liquid inside. The cap has been connected to the bottle with a leather strap but the leather has most likely either gone brittle and/or the rivet has gotten loose. It is a pretty easy fix though. Weight when empty c. 205 grams (7.2 oz). Measurements c. 18,5 x 10,5 x 5,5 cm (0.4” x .4.1” x 2.2”).

Condition

These have seen some heavy drinking and thus they are cheap. They can have all sorts of dents and scratches and the leather can be dry and brittle, etc. They still can hold the water and the cap can be screwed on very nicely. So the issues are mostly cosmetic and they give these battlefield credibility. If you want to use these for drinking and not as cool flower pots or a shamanistic rattle, you should wash/disinfect them thoroughly.
