M1858 CIVIL WAR CANTEEN:
Acquired from an old estate at the Richmond Virginia
Civil War Show that included a M1859 McClellan Saddle,
Carbine sling and other items belonging to the same CW
veteran , this M1858 Canteen is in outstanding
condition. The brown wool cover is 100% intact
with no mothing or wear holes, all seams are intact and
the weave of the material still has the nap. The
canteen smooth sided body is full form with no dents and
all three sling keepers intact. The stopper has
the complete cork. The original cotton linen sling
is full length, shows only very minor wear and still
retains both the inked maker's stamp and the US
Inspector's ink stamp. You will not easily find a
better canteen and there would never be a reason to
upgrade this one. If you want an outstanding Civil
War Canteen, this is the one for you.
