Model 1862 canteen ?

[Kco.]

Would anyone know what month did the model 1862 start to appear on the battlefield during the ACW?

 

[Tin cup]

The corrugated types began to get issued out in the Summer of 1862. A good book on the subject is: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0967073170/?tag=civilwartalkc-20

You can request it thru the Inter Library Loan system from your local Library.
