Remaining in excellent plus condition with no dent, rust or condition issues of any kind this flat, kidney shaped, canteen measures approximately 9 ¾ inches across it’s face by 6 5/8 inches high by 1 ¾ of an inch thick. It retains it’s period harness leather strap. Seldom surviving outside of major museum and private collections, such a canteen was on display in the medical section of the old Gettysburg Visitor’s Center Museum before their recent move. A Medical Department marked example appears in Damman’s Pictorial Encyclopedia of Civil War Medical Instruments & Equipment from the authors personal collection and a variation of the type may be seen published in Sylvia & O’Donnell’s CIVIL WAR CANTEENS . That example was from the well known Beverly Dubose Confederate collection. A fine example of a very difficult to find canteen type, this offering is, like all we offer, guaranteed to please. Buy with confidence! All direct sales are backed by no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased !
