The Japanese soldier of WW2 was a resourceful, resilient fighter, loyal to his Emperor and willing to undergo tremendous hardships. He would, as John Wayne once said, "just as soon die as stick a nickel in a jukebox". Japanese troops of WW2 were issued the classic Type 94 canteen with its khaki web harness, and the set quickly became symbolic of the fanatical "soldiers of the Rising Sun". This Imperial Japanese Army WW2 Type 94 Brown Painted Aluminum Canteen is in Very Good Condition, with some notable finish abrading at the lower left back, some scattered scratching, finish abrading, and spot darkening throughout, some scattered brownish and dark soiling to the harness, some light edge chipping to the wooden cap, and with some scattered age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the canteen is in fine shape, with no other damage to the tough aluminum construction. Most interestingly, it retains approximately 85% of the original brown painted finish throughout, boasts the original late war (somewhat crude) khaki web “skeletonized” harness with a shoulder strap and a top strap, the latter of which secures the original wooden cap, and is a fine example of a rare, original Imperial Japanese Army WW2 Type 94 Brown Painted Aluminum Canteen.
