  1. bullseyecanteen.JPG (71686 bytes)bullseyecanteenrev.JPG (68163 bytes)Model 1858 "Bullseye" canteen with complete cover, stopper, and remnants of the original old linen sling.  The original butternut colored wool cover is without a single hole which is very rare to find.  The canteen was apparently carried during the war with only 2 sling loops as the third was stitched over long, long  ago.  The sling is tied off to the two top loops.  An original canteen is an item that is an absolute "must" in your collection and this one has museum quality eye appeal.--$375.
