This canteen has dings and dents, but still funtional.  I normally look for vintage items that are in "very good" or better condition, but i actually preferred this one the way it was.  It tells a story.  The canvas case has the name "Lombardo" written on it, which i did not attempt to remove, because I prefer it that way.  Buyer may be able to wash off if they choose.  Great used military own item.
