My G-Pa (Herbert "Herb" Schultz who passed when I was just 8.5 in Mar '92 at 71 had 1 of those Open Canteen's for Soup, Coffee, Food etc he'd etched it wth his K-Bar everywhere he fought or rested. It has Thewa Jima, Tarawa, Saipain, Tinian, Okinowa & Nagasaki since he was part of the Occupation force that marched in 28 Days after the Bomb. It's CRazy but we've learned more about his service the last 7 Yrs then the few things he said to my Dad & Aunt growing up. 2nd Marines/II Exp Force, 10 Reg, Fox Comp, went in a Buck Priv came back in Oct '45 as a 1st Sergeant with a bad Hearing condition in 1 Ear from dropping 75mm-155 mm Howitzers on the Japanese.

"V-Mail" stands for "Victory Mail." It was a system the US Armed Forces used during WW2 where messages would be written on small, standard-sized forms. These forms would then be photographed, and the film canisters could then be easily transported either out to the field or back to the States. Once at their destination, they were enlarged--some quality loss, but usually legible if the handwriting was okay--and delivered to the recipient. This saved God-knows-how-much time and effort that would have had to be expended to move vast quantities of traditional mail back and forth between servicemen and their families back home.

i dont think thats an ultra rare first 500 canteens made that he shows in the video. what he has is what some call a second pattern 1st pattern has a first and second variation agm canteen look at the chain link attaching it to the neck ring. also the neck ring holding chain is ROUND the originals first pattern were FLAT i think the canteen he has is 1913 to 1915 canteen. not early 1910/1911 canteen. also the improved round hump above the neck ring is a dead give away its a later canteen. what i he has a 3rd variation the first would have threading inside the neck the second a sleeve going down 3/4 of the way down inside hiding the threads then this third smooth inside neck no sleeve which he is showing then their is a fourth with a clamp like collar for the chain like the 1918 canteens. this is my opinion because their is so much misinformation on these early canteens as evident in this video.

I have what seems to be a vietnam era canteen and cover with cup . The problem I cant find one like mine and wonder if it is to a special unit or if it may had been modified in the field . I fould this in the trash complete . The canteen cup had never been used . Now it is the cover I need to figure out . It has 3 leather straps or loops if you will . One on both the right and left sides. And one on the bottom included intertwined on the bottom strap is an O ring . All the leather loops are riveted on to the canteen cover with Brass rivets . And both the leather and the rivets look old and are still intact . I can squeeze a bic lighter in between the leather loop and the canteen cover with canteen inside . If anyone has and info on this item or anything to add . Please feel free to contact me . I could e mail pictures if need be . I spent hours looking and looking to find a picture of one like it and no dice as so far . God Bless
