UK production changed to green enamel in the late 1930's but many WW1 produced bottles must have seen service.
WW1 bottles also had differently constructed bottoms and no loop for the cork string.

Water bottle covers update
Hi Neil,
Many thanks for your help regarding the water bottle covers,and thanks to all the other members for their help, well the update is that I have just received some covers from Sabre sales in the U K and I can say they are perfect, colour is exact and the quality leaves nothing to be desired, and the sevice is old fasihoned, six days from the day of my order to when I received them,a great company to deal with and I recomend them if you need ww2 material. I have no connection with them, just wanted to tell you all that they are great to deal with, thanks guys for your help, this is what this forum is all about, Regards Ron

Web strap
I seem to recall using the standard pattern 37 web strap when I was fitting out my 2 Pounder Carrier years ago.
They worked perfectly and looked the part. Cheers Phill

Water Bottle Covers
Hi all - thanks to a heads up from Ron I found an Aussie supplier of these things. Name is Kevin Willsson kevshome@netspace.net.au
$12.50 plus postage, $3.50 for one and $4.50 for two. I have bought three and they are great. Very snug fit. All you need to do is sew up the flap. Bob
