Full Description

This original Danish M45 Army Canteen Pouch is a genuine post-war military water bottle cover.

Post-War Military Heritage

The Danish Equipment Commission designed the Oppakningssystem M/45-50 webbing alongside the British Mills Equipment Company after the Second World War. This pouch mirrors the iconic British Pattern 37 and 44 designs, offering a rare piece of European military history for collectors. As used military surplus, each piece shows unique character and historic service wear.

Heavy-Duty Construction

This water bottle cover is made from highly durable, thick cotton canvas designed to withstand harsh field environments. The top flap is secured by two directional Lift-the-Dot studs. These brass fasteners are designed to only release from a specific angle, preventing your canteen from falling out during active bushcraft, hunting, or hiking.

Field Utility and Mounting

The rear features heavy-duty webbing straps with brass slide buckles and dual metal D-rings, allowing direct mounting to Danish or British Pattern 37 belts. Inside, a small built-in pocket provides handy organisation for water purification tablets. It is a highly functional utility pouch for outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, and collectors alike.

Complete your vintage webbing set or secure a rugged, history-rich utility pouch for your next outdoor adventure.
