1934

Thank You Marcin. Great knowledge. I would like to show one more canteen. It is 1934 dated, almost perfectly matched. Whole thing is marked SMM 34, except cup which is 1935 dated and bears some extra markings. Enjoy.

have a couple of Canteens, the one on the left 43 dated I bought when I was 12 ! was all dusty so I washed it under the tap and the finish came off ! I know better now

the right one for the early collectors ! ESB 38

Great collections here guys !
