Wineskins

I am looking for a wineskin to use with my Roman kit. I would like to find one thats made from the entire animal skin. I dont want one of the standard plastic bottles inside a suede cover. Any sources out there? I was told that these are still used in regions of the Med today.

Sallets are way too late for our portrayal. Technically there wasnt a "Switzerland" until 1291, so your pretty late in the 13th ce...

Why not a model 42 Springfield or 55? Lots of surplus Civil War rifles were sold off as surplus after the war. Many of these were bored smooth for use as shotguns also.
