This is a rare and seldom encountered German Prussian Regulation Military Canteen, Model 1867. The inner body is constructed of glass which is well padded and leather covered. The glass has survived in very nice condition and is still wearing its cork plugged metal cap. The padded leather covering has only light wear scuffs to the finish but remains very healthy as well with its seam stitching all tightly intact.

Стеклянные фляги использовались Российской армией во время Первой мировой войны и Красной армией во время Гражданской войны. Летом и осенью 1941 года в целях экономии металла стеклянные фляги были возвращены в армейское снаряжение.
