Picked this canteen up this morning at a car boot sale.
I know it’s far from being complete, even missing the cap, but it has a name engraved, and that made it interesting enough to buy for 2 euros.
Ran the name through the NARA files, but nothing came up.
Maybe somebody else used it after the war?
Anyway, it reads CONESSA.
Oh well, I’ll put it on Fleabay and get my 2 euros back!
A few items that have just arrived I'll post more pictures when i sort through the rest of the items. Its quite a mix of different items that i have managed to get hold of.
I hope they are of interest and i look forward to any comments and opinions.

G’day All,
