This is the Genuine Issue US Military Canteen Cup. Made in the USA and designed to fit on the 1 QT Military Issue Canteen, this canteen cup is the canteen cup issued to U.S. Military Troops. It should not be confused with versions that claim to be "made to military specs" or "GI Style Canteen Cup", which are not the real thing. If you compare this to the NATO Version, you will find this is every bit as quality yet Made in the USA, U.S. Military Issue and less than half the price. This Genuine Military Issue Canteen Cup is made of stainless steel and utilizes the new "butterfly style" folding handles. It is highly durable and with proper care, can last you a lifetime. The Genuine Issue Military Canteen Cup is a piece of no frills survival and outdoor adventure equipment. It can be used for cooking, heating water, signaling help (metal banging on metal is an excellent noise maker), heater (in combination with gel fuel or Esbit tabs), emergency shovel or just making a cup of hot coffee. Don't be confused by the low cost of this item. Because of its years of use and production, these canteen cups are very inexpensive but they are NOT a reproduction. They are the genuine issue item. The British Version, Crusader Cup, is nearly identical but much more expensive due to import costs.
