All items have either a 1941 or 1942 date stamp on them, except the shovel. Couldn’t find a stamp on the canteen cover, but appears to be of the same period as the rest and canteen cup has a’41 marking. Musette bag made by Langdon Tent and Awning Co. The Canteen cup is marked 1941, it is made by TACU Co. The canteen has a very feint US and 8 on it, it is also metal capped, most likely end of WW1 surplus reissued at the. The set now also includes the shovel that came with it. Period correct bi fold shovel. However shovel is most definitely post war. It is like new condition. The cover’s origin or date is not known. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but US purchasers only.
