WWII U.S. M-1910 Canteen | Trench Art Painted "A DIV" | S.M. Co.

1 of 3

A one-of-a-kind World War II U.S. Military M-1910 canteen manufactured by S.M. Co. This specific piece features incredible GI "trench art" – hand-painted red wings flanking an "A", over "DIV", and what appears to be "G.C. ENG". Constructed of metal (stainless/steel) with honest field wear. Please note: the cork seal is missing from inside the cap. A fantastic display piece with real history.

The Artwork: The face of the canteen is customized with period red paint, displaying winged "A DIV" (possibly Airborne or Aviation) and lettering reading "G.C. ENG". This kind of personalization makes it a unique artifact.
The Markings: The bottom shows heavy field scratching but clearly retains the U.S. and S. M. Co (Southeastern Metals Co.) manufacturer stamp.
Condition: Field Used / Salty. The metal body shows plenty of scuffs, scratches, and character. The original black resin cap is attached via its chain, but the inner cork gasket is missing.
