It was made in Taiwan in 1980s, during the post Gulf war period. At that time, Taiwan had made some light military equipment for Saddam's Iraqi Army, like some P58 webbing. In order to exchange for oil. Most of the stocks were able to ship to Iraq and took part in the Gulf wars, but there were still some remain in Taiwan. The factory had shut down later. It is an unknown story, only small amount of old collectors in Taiwan know it.

A nice set of Iraqi army British P58 webbing canteen set, with plastic canteen and cup.
Although it is a NOS set, the plastic bag has not been opened, the keeping condition is not good. It is lightly faded, slight rusting on the buckle, unsightly joining stitch and the cup has a small crack on it (see the photos). Because I have not opened the plastic bag, I cannot ensure you the condition of the cap. But I think it is still OK and capable to use.
