German Female Signal Auxiliaries M31 Canteen
German Female Signal Auxiliaries (Nachrichtenhelferin des Heeres) M31 Canteen (Feldflasche 31). The Female Signals Auxiliary Corps (Nachrichtenhelferinnen des Heeres) were organized in a military system and were tasked with all aspects of communications within the occupied countries and in certain military communications centers within Germany that required special security that was unsuitable for civilian personnel. Personnel serving with the Female Signals Auxiliary Corps were outfitted with uniforms and insignia, including a special small sized canteen with a 0,5 liter capacity. The canteen and leather straps are all in overall good used condition with minimal age and usage toning. The canteen is nicely maker marked and dated 'ESB 42/43' indicating production in 1943. Rare and hard to find original canteen in good condition!
