Water bottle and carrier

The water bottle, cup, and carrier that was used with the M/45-50 webbing was very similar to the British Patt. 44 water bottle, cup, and carrier. Apart from the stamps in the bottom of the bottle it can be very difficult to tell the bottles apart. However, the carrier has a number of distinctly "Danish" features.

The bottle and cup is of aluminium and the with time the cap is prone to screeching a lot when opening. The chain is rather rattling too. In other words is the entire set very noisy. In British service the cap and chain was replaced by a rubber / plastic cap and string. For whatever reason the Danish army decided to retain the aluminium cap and chain.
