Nice job on the lid. Did you get the kit that has the carry pouch?

I am just waiting for the leather carry case you must be making..... nice work on the lid though

I like little modifications\additions like this, on the lid.

From what I've been able to find out on the net it was issued around the 70's. Now I don't know if that refers to the metal canteen version or the plastic canteen one. I can't find a definitive answer. I've just ordered one myself and I like to know the history of kit I use.

that would means cold war-era, the design could be much older,though.....(the wwII messtin my grandfather had to use would not have stuck out 60years later when I had to act as cannon fodder for a foreign government)
