    Here's another view. This belt is not original but the camera and the canteen are.

            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 thanks

              @ 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.

              Regards!

                    This is one that imo I consider a very late example with rare tan bakelite cup?

                    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?

                        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...

                          I've found this one recently.
                          I like this late type.

                            Nice one. Now you need to find nice, matcing steel AEM.A cup for it.

                              They stopped using felt later on? Do we know why?
