CIVIL WAR RE-ENACTORS GROUPING WITH ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR SURPLUS.1) Rare January 28, 1862 dated patented mess kit retaining only 3 small rectangular tin trays and top tray. Stonewall Jackson supposedly had a nearly identical inscribed example. Regardless, great for display in a camp scene. 2) Regulation cloth covered Federal canteen with tan wool cover and partial sling. 3) Original 58 caliber US cartridge box with original tins and over the shoulder belt. 4) Reproduction Confederate cartridge box. 5) Leather valise with crows foot stitching often associated with Virginia. CONDITION: Items should be examined, but overall good. US cartridge box with sling is dry and flaking, one buckle is detatched but still attached to sling, stitching loose in areas. Other two leather boxes are fairly supple and sound. Mess kit retains much of its original Japanning, brass patented plaque has discernible text as can be seen in photos. Regardless, all are good for display. 52222-20 (800-1,200) – Lot 2066
