MODEL 1941 CANTEEN EXTENDER STRAPS – FOR USE BY
CAVALRY TROOPERS, AIRBORNE TROOPS AND MEDICAL CORPSMEN:
Created for use by the Cavalry troopers to drop the
canteen below the lower edge of the cartridge belt and
off the small of the his back, and to allow the canteen
to be attached to the saddle as well as the cartridge
belt, these Model 1941 Canteen Extender Straps were
quickly recognized as a useful addition to the Airborne
Paratrooper’s web equipment, again to lower the canteen
away from his body. The cross strap was designed to
mate with the hooks on the canteen cover with a snap
hook on the other end. There have been opinions voiced
that these were also adopted by Combat Medical Corpsmen
to carry additional canteens into the field.

MODEL 1941 CANTEEN EXTENDER STRAP:
Showing no evidence of issue or use, this strap presents
in “like new” condition. The webbing shows no wear or
fading and all of the metal fittings are present with
the factory applied subdued finish intact, save for some
wear to the finish on the sliding keeper. The reverse
of the hanging strap is stenciled with what appears to
be a QMC inventory number. A very nice example.
