USGI Canteen Cover, Late Vietnam War

USGI canteen cover, likely late Vietnam War to early post-war production based on the mix of canvas body with nylon bias tape reinforcement around the flap edges. Standard issue for the 1-quart plastic canteen, with two ALICE clips on the back for belt mounting. The date stamp is faded and unreadable, but the construction details point to the mid-to-late 1970s transitional period when nylon began replacing cotton web gear. No canteen included, cover only. Shows normal field wear but remains fully functional for use or display.
