Cavalry canteen strap

[wclracer64]

Are these a “real” thing, or something made up in more modern times?
Thanks!

Re: Cavalry canteen strap

Don't use it. Waaaay farby and not used.

Cavalryman kept water on his person as he was apt to be dismounted and used as foot soldier or for whatever reason separated from horse and thus water source for extended period of time. Leave it alone.
