Gardner pattern Confederate wooden drum canteen complete with white canvas shoulder strap. Excellent quality made from softwood with steel bands that will colour down to a rusty patina as the canteen is used. The procedure for first using these canteens is to fill them with water and hang them up outside for at least 2 days to allow the joints to expand, once this has been done you will have a very good canteen. Fitted with wooden stopper and metal chain attachment.
