Yes period correct. They are the same as the civilian ones which means they are reasonably easy to find. I've never seen one with ARMY embossed on the top like yours, does the label say made in Canada? I have some marked DND ARMY but it is on the top line of the instruction plate on the side.

Thank you Bruce . It says DND Army . I will look for the mention «*made in Canada « and report back.

There are several versions of the DND ARMY fire extinguishers. The ones ahown are my favorite. You can also find them stamped on the edge of the top, as well as find the DND ARMY on the label at the top.
I have also seen them with CPR on the top, so it looks like pyrene would custom make them for companies or departments.



Seems to me I made a thread on extinguishers about a decade back. Found it here: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...highlight=fire



I suppose a civilian extinguisher would be fine, but not one with insurance company markings on the label, which are quite common.

My favorite surplus yard still has dozens and dozens of these extinguishers, and not all are DND marked.
