Description
A Reproduction of the 1936 pattern Finnish field bottle cover. This cover is meant to be used with the m/36 field bottle and the 1936 pattern field bottle cover strap.
This early type of cover and strap were used throughout WW2, but were substituted in production after the Winter War with the simplified 1940 pattern cover and strap.
The cover is made of grey wool with natural colored cowhide reinforcements. There are grey steel eyelets for the lacing and an aluminium button on the bottom for fastening the cover strap. The lace is gray cotton with grey metal aglets.
If you are having troubles pulling the cover onto your bottle: soak the cover in lukewarm water (not hot) until it’s soaked throughout. Then, pull the cover on the bottle and lace it up. Let the cover dry in room temperature.
