Military 15th c. swiss canteen to identify

sioume · 13th August 2012, 07:42 PM

Hello,

I have this item since a very long time and was very surprised to see a carved one very similar to mine on the web.
I read that the Landesmuseum at Zurich might have a collection of such items in its military department.
This canteen is made of calabash, gourde, with 2 rope handles.
I could not find any pictures or further informations about it.
Is there anybody who saw that before?

Thank you very much for helping
All the best
Alain
