A few months ago I bought a flask from AL-HAMDD TRADING POST. Please note that this is a decoration canteen ..
It turns out that it is unfit for use! There was no any anti corrosion coating from inside! I had to open it (to cut it).
I give it to our blacksmith for tinning. From inside with tin so can be used. I dismantled the bracket and made it with a strap for shoulder using. We installed and a cylinder below (as a basis ) to resembling the original from Mainz. So after much work, frustration ( money spend unnecessarily) we already have two decent canteens.
