M1910 Mounted Canteen CoverOriginal Model 1910 mounted canteen cover as used by Cavalry and Artillery troops, greenish-khaki canvas body with light OD green ["pea green"] flap edging and light OD green V-shaped cotton web strap on back with slightly oversized snap hook for attaching to saddle or cartridge belts. Blackened bronze rimless eagle snaps on flaps and blackened brass female snaps marked PAT. OCT. 3-05/PAT. PEND. on front. U.S. stencil still visible on front, R.I.A. 191? with inspector's marks F.C.S. under left flap [date appears to be 1911].
Light fading from use but no holes, fraying, or other damage and all wool lining is intact and undamaged. Average wear to blackened finish on snaps but undamaged and snaps still work well. Only real problem is a blue ink stain over the U.S. marking, there is also a number 40 faintly written on bottom of cover. Still a nice presentable example of one of the rarer US canteen covers from this period and is in fine condition. Any questions please feel free to ask.
