Medic Bottle
I believe this to be a German medics bottle but it has no markings, can anyone give me some more information, e,g, a date and why it has no markings.
Many thanksComment

@ TheChef: This is a bottle of female helpers of the DRK before 1937, but do not ask me when this type was introduced (i find it in a manual of 1935 for example). No markings... i guess because there was no need then for doing so.
The bread bag strap is not to be attached at it.

Its currently at auction:

Another beginner question:
I'm assuming that some of the canteens have felt covers because felt has insulating properties.
Are there any other reasons?
Are there drawbacks to felt?Comment

I went ahead and purchased a German WW2 canteen Complete with the tin cup.
I made the mistake of opening it and sniffing...
I hope that was 'only' tea or coffee that had been in there last...
I also have a WW2 British Canteen with a canvas cover. Haven't opened that one yet...and probably shouldn't either...
