US military M 1942 canteens, what is the difference? My review, World War Two

[@WebGearReview]

I only have 11 of these videos with the half screen all the rest are full screen

At 3.00 in to the video, I meant to say the CRS canteen. Not CSR, my bad.

[@ReynaldinoM]

Hello Sir, are the markings in the bottom of 1942 CRS canteen.. read as "US Vollrath"?

[@WebGearReview]

Yes both of them are a stamped U.S. Vollrath 1943. I hope this helps thanks for watching

vairy nice thanks for the info

Thanks

Great informational video! We’re the 42 caps the same throughout while they made them? I have a 1943 canteen with a cap dated 1953. Original must have got damaged or lost.

[@WebGearReview]

I’m not for sure if the caps all stay the same throughout production. It probably got lost at some point. Thanks for watching

[@georgebenta3435]

4:02 Is the metal lid or cap you are talking about similar to the metal caps of the older M1910 canteens that are dated 1918? I have an M1942 stainless canteen that has a metal cap very similar to the older M1910 but the chain is missing, so I was just wondering if my metal cap is just a replacement or if it is the original.

[@WebGearReview]

Yes, it could be the original. Thank you for watching

[@georgebenta3435]

Why did they use a different metal for the canteen cup handles? I often see good canteen cups with very rusty or broken handles.

[@WebGearReview]

I really don’t know why. Thanks for watching

[@georgebenta3435]

@@WebGearReview I have a follow up question. Is W.C.W a world war 2 canteen cups manufacturer? I have a canteen cup marked US W.C.W. with that rusty, flat handle, but it has no date markings.

[@WebGearReview]

I’m not sure about all the different manufactures of canteen cups during World War II but there were many chances are it is authentic.

[@WebGearReview]

Thanks for putting a date on George’s cup.

[@georgebenta3435]

@@nelsonormsby2739 Thanks for the info. Here in the Philippines it's hard to find a US made canteen cups, and if we did we automatically assume it's world war 2 era because of the US assistance. The canteen cups were also copied here for the Philippine army, they look identical but with different markings. Some of the canteen cups had their marking on the canteen handle, but since the handles rust away sometimes, the markings are also gone.

[@georgebenta3435]

It's me again. I'm curious if it is true that canteens from M1910 to M1942 were soldered or welded with lead or contains lead?

[@WebGearReview]

I’m not for sure thanks for watching

[@Chrissvarietychannel549]

I have never seen the porcelain version.

[@WebGearReview]

Chris's variety channel They only made them for a little while

[@killianfitzgerald2195]

The fourth type made from aluminium are hard to find , I’ve seen makers by the same one’s who made the porcelain canteens ; Sm Co, USS Co , FE Co and RSE , all dated 1943

[@WebGearReview]

Yes they are, Thanks for the information about the manufactures that you’ve have observed. Thanks

[@Paladin_Green]

i just picked up a 1945 stamped canteen, never issued still in the original wrap

[@WebGearReview]

Wow that cool , I have never see one in its original package.

[@Paladin_Green]

@@WebGearReview I got it from a surplus store in Austin tx called Quonset hut. He has vintage gear from as early as ww1. He has a few left.

[@seabee12333]

I have a CSR canteen, marked SM Co, 1943

[@WebGearReview]

Thanks for the reply Dan and for watching

[@thurin84]

great, now ive got to dig out my canteens to see if ive got at least one of each type lol

[@WebGearReview]

milcoll73 Check it out and see let me know what you got

[@thurin84]

@@WebGearReview ive got everything except a blue enamel, any with metal lid, or the type 4 aluminium.

[@WebGearReview]

milcoll73 Sounds like you have a good collection of them

[@misolgit69]

I'm wondering if it's my imagination or not but it seems to me that the inside curve on the canteen is shallower than the modern plastic issue and the Chinese stainless replicas ?

[@WebGearReview]

misolgit 69 You know, I do not know. I have not seen one of the Chinese stainless steel canteens up close but, I will check it out and see on the one I have And get back to you on it.

[@WebGearReview]

misolgit 69 Thanks for question and thanks watching

[@jbeauchamp1583]

Have you seen a CRS aluminum weld, no manufacturing stamp on it?
