Original U.S. Civil War M-1858 Smooth Side Canteen by J.C. Johnson & Co. Converted to M1878 - 1865 Dated Category_Blunderbuss and this flintlock pistol intendedOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a genuine, maker marked, Civil War example of the Model 1858 "Flat Back" pattern tin canteen, which was then converted to the Spanish American war style M1878 Canteen specification. This involved removing the cover, and then the three shoulder strap loops were removed, and replaced with the M1878 trianglular bales. It was then re covered with M1878 Tan fabric, and would have had a sling attached to the bales.
