Full Description

These are original WW2 Bulgarian Army coconut canteens.

Historical Wood-Fiber Design

Issued to Bulgarian infantry during the Second World War, these canteens follow the German-designed resin-bonded wood fiber construction. Developed as an alternative to scarce wool felt, the composite shell acts as a thermal barrier to protect the inner vessel while deadening sound in the field.

Aluminum Vessel and Fittings

Inside the textured protective casing is a lightweight aluminium water flask featuring a threaded neck and an aluminium screw cap. The integrated rear metal belt clip allows quick attachment to military webbing, utility belts, or field equipment.

Practical Utility for Collectors

The distinct brown composite shell gives this flask its iconic coconut nickname. Ideal for militaria collectors and historical reenactors, this original surplus item offers a complete example of wartime material innovation.

Add this original field flask to your military surplus collection or wartime display.
