Nicely pressed seam.

3. The matching overcoat has a five button front that leads to a pointed, lay down collar with a pair of hooks and eyelets at the neck. A pair of large hip pockets with flaps complete the tunic. The interior is partially lined in white cotton/linen. The chest measures approximately 42".

4. A pair of black leather field shoes that are nicely marked to the bottom of the sole. They do not appear to have been issued or worn.

5. A tin-plated steel canteen, which stands 2cm tall (with a partial cork affixed), is 18cm at its widest point, 8cm deep, and is covered in dark blue wool, which distinguishes it as being for a mountain troop. Fitted unto its tall neck is a cork stopper whose alloy cap has an eye, through which a doubled cord is fed. The other end of the cord is then tied to a swiveling, rectangular alloy "ring," positioned half-way down the laced side of the cover. The neck slopes sharply to either side, with the aforementioned side having a series of eight pairs of eyelets through which its leather lacing passes. Extending through the cover along both of the side seam lines at its widest point are the "rings" to which either end of the brown leather carrying strap is fed. One end folds back upon itself and is fixed through buttonholes by a brass link. The other end loops through its "ring" and connects to itself by means of a metal, sliding length adjustment buckle. Both the leather and wool are in good strong condition.
