WW2 USMC/Us Army Australian made side cap the Sky Blue Canteens are

the Sky Blue Canteens are very hard to find and are one of the few datable examples to the indian wars and expansion westward which did not carry over to the Spanish American War like the rest of the 1878 Canteens without original paint

It doesnt get much better than this

It has a small chip but is in overall great condition

Made from chinese silk with stunning embroidery depicting a Chinese Nationalist Flag

The SSI is original however the squadron patch is a replacement based on the original ghosting and remnants of a previous patch
