This canteen is food safe and ready to use. The wooden stopper is connected to the body with a leather piece. The cotton cord is comfortable even when the canteen is full.
This reproduction canteen is made of stainless steel.
Items arrived well packed. One canteen has a small leak around the bottom solder joint. Easily fixed with solder or pine pitch.
Gave this to my teenager for his first reenacting weekend and it seems to have survived him (no leaks) and kept him hydrated all weekend. What more can you want from a canteen
Canteen is very well constructed and holds water. Cotton cord strap was extra long for adjustment but was easily shortened to my desired length.
