After a long grueling day on the trail, a drop of water from this Canteen is going to feel like a high-priced Chardonnay. And our surplus price leaves plenty of room in your budget for baguettes and steak frites. Those big plastic water bottles are bound to break, but this rugged military issue French canteen would hold water during a nuclear explosion. A solid aluminum canteen is stored inside an OD canvas belt sheath and offers a screw on cap on a chain so you won't lose it. 1 quart capacity. Review: Two types and may not be new. - I have purchased a few of these from different sellers. I have noticed there are 2 types of these French canteens. The canteen shown in the photo are the older canteens. The ones here are the new issue, which are wonderful canteens, but not as robust as older issues, most noticeably the quality of threading on the canteen and the robustness of the chain. The older ones are also a tad larger and have a deeper canteen cup. Also, these do not come with an o-ring in the lid. Another reviewer mentioned using a flat piece of rubber like a bicycle tube to place in the lid, and it looks as if that would work. I used a flexible silicone cutting board as a gasket material. I used two-one on top of the other-to ensure a good seal and to have a spare seal under the one being used in case the primary gets damaged. These canteens were sold as new, but the cover of one was obviously used, as it had worn through in many areas, so I left an email asking to switch it out. This is currently in work. The other was described accurately, so be sure to inspect all items. But all in all, a good piece of metal. I know I harped a lot here, but as far as overall quality, it is a 5 star item. It seems it's getting more difficult to find quality camping/survival items. Grab a few of these. They will last at least as long as you. Note: I have added a photo to show the difference between the new and old style canteens. Review: This is the real deal! - You get the canteen, the pouch, and the cup. You will probably have to replace the rubber stopper because it is worn out. It looks great and when the rubber is replaced works fine. Get it while you can get something of this quality for this price. Just the canteen cup alone is worth it. It works fine to make Ramon Noodles over a bed of coals and flame. I LOVE IT! hint... just order a new 1/8 inch piece of rubber and use an exacto knife to cut out a new stopper for the lid and your canteen is restored. This is a great way to get noticed by chicks who love camping as much as I do. That's the kind of girl I'm after.... one I can take camping with me. :) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003P3WAFM | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Brand Name | Sturm European Military Surplus | | Capacity | 1 Quarts | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (34) | | Manufacturer | STURM EUROPEAN MILITARY SURPLU | | Manufacturer Part Number | 91451500 | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Reusability | Reusable | | Shape | Round | | Theme | Military | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sturm European Military Surplus - **Capacity:** 1 Quarts - **Material:** Aluminum - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Care Instructions:** Hand Wash Only ## Images ![French Army Military Surplus Canteen, Cover / Cup - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Mzcg11-gL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two types and may not be new. *by D***F on September 4, 2012* I have purchased a few of these from different sellers.

The canteen body itself seems sturdy; it does not lock or wedge into the cup so unless you use the canteen carry cover the two peices will fall apart. However at some point - as another user pointed out and posted pictures, this newer version of the canteen has a much cheaper lid and chain/chain-hook construction. This will still serve its purpose but since I searched high and low for a high quality canteen and this was the best I could find, I am a bit disappointed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8752348-french-army-military-surplus-canteen-cover-cup](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8752348-french-army-military-surplus-canteen-cover-cup) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
