268th C.A. Posted May 22, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2022 That looks fine too me. Cover and all. There might me a mfg. name below the spout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Devil Posted May 22, 2022 Share #3 Posted May 22, 2022 Agreed, looks nice. I have a very similar example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M24 Chaffee Posted May 22, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 22, 2022 I’m certainly not an expert but I think that looks great and all original! Nice blue cover and very cool to have the strap! A New York depot made one with the chain for the stopper. If there are no markings on the spout I think that would mean it’s an early war contract? If you check the folds of the strap you made find an inspector’s and/or makers mark. You’ve probably seen this and are more experienced than I am with civil war antiques, but here’s an informative link on canteens. http://www.njsekela.com/reference/cmh/Canteen Article.pdf Very nice canteen!
