A replica cap for the German M31 field bottle, made from black synthetic resin.
This later model is usually associated with the simplified wartime design introduced after 1940, with larger ribs and a simpler manufacturing style.
How to install the peg in the cap: the peg can be fixed with epoxy resin, which is a reliable and safe method and helps keep the cap tight. Compatible pegs and red rubber gaskets are sold separately.

Historical reference
Bakelite caps were used on wartime German M31 field-bottle assemblies. The cap was retained with the carrying straps, helping keep it with the bottle when unscrewed.
