1874 TYPE 3 MODIFIED US ARMY CIVIL WAR ROUND CANTEEN COTTON HANGING STRAP + COVE:
$120.00
A RARE ORIGINAL INDIAN WAR MODIFIED 1874 CANTEEN (TYPE 3) MADE FROM SURPLUS LATE CIVIL WAR STOCK.
THE MODIFICATION CONSISTED OF REMOVING THE BOTTOM METAL LOOP, SEWING ON THE BODY THE BROWN DUCK COVER OVER A NEW STRONGER STRAP WITH A BRASS CHAMBERS BUCKLE. THE SOLDIER COULD THEN ADJUST THE LENGHT OF THE STRAP.
THIS IS A RARE EARLY FRONTIER CANTEEN AND UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS SUFFERED MANY RUST SPOTS ON THE COVER ON BOTH SIDE. THE COVER IS STRONG ALONG WITH THE STITCHING. THERE ARE NO SOFT SPOTS ON THE CANTEEN BODY OR MAJOR DENTS. THE HANGING STRAP IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH A LITTLE FRAYING WHERE IT EXITS THE METAL LOOPS, MINOR. THERE ARE SEVERAL INK STENCIL ON THE BODY. HARD TO READ ON ONE SIDE FOR SURE THE NUMBER \"5\" AND PERHAPS AN \"M\" AND AN \"S\". THE OTHER AS A MUCH LONGER WORDING BUT I COULD NOT MAKE OUT WHAT IT SAYS.
FRONTIER ARMY EQUIPMENT, WAS HARD USED DURING THE INDIAN WAR. USUALLY USED UNTIL WORN OUT AND THEN DISCARDED.
THIS IS NOT A PRETTY CANTEEN BUT A RARE SURVIVING EXAMPLE.
