Probably worth getting at $125 if you need one. I've had them in inventory on my sales page for about 10 years and sell them for $150 each. In fact just sent one to a collector in Norway this past Thursday. I'm down to 2-3 of them and have never seen anyone else with them in quantities.
Also to add to Lance's description of use, it can fasten into the soldier's webbing in place of his normal water bottle which could go into a pack temporarily. They would disconnect it from the webbing of course when setting up the weapon for use so you aren't missing anything. Optionally though a single brace could be used with it so the water can could be slung over the shoulder.
These were an Australian design.
