$88.50The Story
Original Item: Only One Available. US M1878 Canteen with a tan canvas cover with a very clear U.S. stencil on the front, in very good condition with the original issue sling. The front bears markings which we believe to denote Company E of the 1st Georgia Volunteer Infantry, a good research opportunity.
The canteen is complete with its original cork stopper secured to the neck of the canteen by a brass ring and chain. The cork itself is complete but has shrunk due to age. It also has the proper pattern leather shoulder strap, of the later adjustable style in fair condition, but has dried out and heavy cracks and scaling are present in the finish, which is expected.
There is not much denting on the body, and the cover has the expected water stains and wear to the canvas. A great chance to pick up a good example of this iconic canteen!
