Genuine Dutch Army 1L Water Bottle – Avon Brand (Grade A Surplus)
Product Overview
This is the original Dutch Army issue water bottle, a rugged 1-litre canteen manufactured by Avon Rubber plc in the UK—the same renowned company that produces the British Army’s respirator systems. Built from heavy-duty, high-density plastic, this bottle is designed to survive the harshest field conditions. Its unique "Dutch/US" profile is taller and slimmer than the British 58-pattern bottle, making it compatible with the Dutch 44-pattern stainless steel cup, which nests perfectly onto the bottom for a compact, all-in-one hydration and cooking solution.
Key Features & Functional Benefits
-
Avon Brand Quality: Manufactured by Avon Rubber, ensuring superior structural integrity and a leak-proof seal compared to commercial alternatives.
-
1-Litre (1-Quart) Capacity: The standard military volume for hydration, providing a reliable water supply for hiking, camping, or tactical exercises.
-
NBC-Compatible Cap: Features a robust screw-top lid designed to interface with military respirators, ensuring safe hydration in contaminated environments.
-
High-Density Construction: Made from ultra-tough, BPA-free plastic that resists crushing, impact, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
-
Perfect Nesting Fit: Specifically engineered to fit the Dutch 44-pattern metal mug (stainless steel) on the base, saving valuable space in your rucksack or pouch.
-
Grade A Surplus Condition: Sourced in excellent ex-issue condition. Expect minimal signs of use, fully functional seals, and clean interiors.

Cadets & Scouts: A "bomb-proof" water bottle that can withstand the rough handling of youth expeditions.
-
Military Reenactment: An essential and authentic piece of kit for late 20th-century Dutch or NATO-themed loadouts.
