How common were "split" canteen slings? Were they Federal in manufacture of Confed.? Were they a mid-later war item?
I recently saw a picture of a dead Confed (you know the one - Petersburg w/Fed cartridge box) and he exhibits one of these on his Fed canteen.
This was probably covered before in the old forum, but since I didn't have a Fed smoothside canteen at the time I didn't care! I got the canteen to hold the moonshine... now I need a sling.
Any enlightenment is helpful!
