Picked this up last week at the SOS show in Louisville. 

Can anyone tell me what unit this designation may stand for? Indian wars vintage? Spanish-American war? The canteen appears to be a 1878 model. Hope its Indian wars era as it's headed to Tucson,

 

Thanks

Co F 1st infantry, roster number 54.  Could be any number of state units, and thus in use from any point between 1880 to 1920ish. It's a true smooth sided canteen with no third lower loop at the bottom?

Thanks Austin-

 

No smooth sides, Both sides of the canteen are concave. No third lower loop on the bottom.
