Matching Original W.A.L. 1943 German WW2 Water Bottle Canteen and Aluminum Jawless Skull Hat Insignia Pin for Elite Troops

This is The Larger Capacity German WW2 Canteen As Often Carried By Mountain Troops and Assault Combat Troops

Pictures Should Show Things Well.  Canteen is Matching W.A.L 43 on Aluminum Canteen Body and on Leather Harness (Twice Marked W.A.L. 43 on Leather Harness), W.A.L. 43 Stamped on Inside of Felt Cover along edge, Long Carry Leather Strap is Full Length, is Unmarked, and Has a bit of a Rough Edge on one side (see picture).  Other side edge of long leather carry strap is fine.  Bakelite Canteen Cup is Original and Mint.  Same for the Bakelite Screw On Cap for the Canteen, also Original and in Mint Condition, No Cracks and Still Has Its Mint Condition Rubber Piece Up Inside the Screw On Cap.  Entire Harness is in about Mint Condition, all leather, all buckles, even the long carry strap but it has a rough edge on one side of the long carry strap, not sure how that could have happened.  Nearly All of the Original Black Paint Remains on each Harness Buckle.  Felt Cover is in Exc to Mint Condition, No Holes, No Mothing, and All Four Snaps are Functional, Topmost Snap works just slightly weaker than 3 below.  Aluminum Canteen Body is about Excellent with a couple small dings to it, would hold water fine.  All Leather is Very Supple.  Everything is Original on this Matching 1943 Canteen.  Getting hard to find in this condition.  A real nice German Wartime Field Equipment Canteen for anyones collection.

Jawless Skull German WWII Elite Hat Insignia Pin Is Included in this Auction.  Looks to be Unmarked with Age Patina.  Not sure if it's original though.  The Jawless Skull could be a reproduction, I just don't know.  Skull looks to be made from Aluminum.  One Prong Looks Weak (see picture).  Would still display well in a collection.
