Französische Armee - Borraccia francese in alluminio con tazza e coperchio

Disappointed again!!! This water bottle is only externally a French... As a former professional soldier in the French Army, I know exactly this bottle. This one offered here is a cheap and poorly processed copy of Miltec. All original bottles are stamped and dated by the manufacturer, the same goes for the case, and the most important thing of all is the appropriate emergency cooker that was always handed out with the bottle and belongs to the water bottle. The chain is much stronger and the chain eyelet is attached to the base of the bottle neck. And so there are more details about the case, but anyone can look it up for themselves. The only positive thing is that it is enough for beginners as far as the price is concerned. A used original is Trierer, but more stable. Cash on delivery was more expensive than the goods, which is a star deduction from me. Two star deduction because it is a cheap and fragile copy of Mil-Tec

It seems to me that this is a reproduction and not an original model: the quarter handle was not on the same side on the original model

I like the aluminum French water bottle better than the aluminum US bottle because it is higher and therefore has more volume (1.3 liters, the US bottle only holds 0.9 liters), the bottle neck is larger (easier cleaning) and it is made of one piece, meaning it has no seam. But the bag only has a belt loop, no clips, but the bottle also fits in the Molle field bottle bag, http://www.asmc.de/Camping/Outdoorkueche/Trinken/Zubehoer/Feldflaschentasche-Molle-oliv-p.html, as long as you fold the lid inwards and you only stretch the lid straps over the bottle neck.
