2 Quart Collapsible Canteen (Film Bladder)

FSN
8465-889-3770
Specification
MIL-C-43129

The first 2-quart collapsible canteen issued in Vietnam had a square vinyl film bladder with heat sealed edges. The bladder, which was carried in a nylon cover, had a plastic screw cap and was supplied with a removable corrosion resistant steel strainer. Usage difficulties caused by its thin construction resulted in the introduction of a redesigned 2-quart bladder in 1966.
