Wanted british army plastic canteen cups

[Mike8472]

I'm after British Army 58 pattern plastic water bottle cups preferably dated in the 70's and 60's.

Would like them in decent condition also.
One is going to be a user (would like this close to new/unused as possible) and the others to add to my collection so it doesnt matter that these are a bit battered/used it adds to their history.

I have just recently found a stash of water botles at the local army surplus warehouse (which is like an aladdins cave). They had the water bottles there in storage for years forgotten about; dating from the early 60's to the 90's. But the problem I have is there was just the water bottles and no cups.


Are there any members that can oblige?

Try phoning Endicott's, I'm sure they'll help if they can.

I remember the 70s ones. I joined up in the mid 80s and had a "new" mug, the 70's ones were shiner and had sharp bottom edges not rounded and were made of a harder plastic. I managed to get hold of one and was the subject of much envy as it was easier to bull AND I had a spare mug so it stayed nice!
