Rare WWI Portuguese Army officer’s privately purchased canteen in excellent condition. It includes the original wool cover, a green enameled cup, a hook, and leather attachment straps. Although the two straps differ in color, both appear original to the canteen. The Portuguese Army fought on the Western Front and in Africa against German colonial forces, with approximately 100,000 Portuguese serving during WWI. There is some minor cracking in the leather straps, but overall the canteen is nearly mint—an assessment not made lightly.
Condition: I+
