Haversacks were generally of the same pattern as those of the U.S. regular forces being linen or canvas with three button flap. Knapsacks were of the Lherbette pattern. We use the white cross belts. The bayonet scabbards were of black leather and the cartridge box is of the 1808 period. Canteens were of the wooden cheese box style, painted dark blue with a white U.S. painted on the outside and a leather strap.
