Hi Jock
That looks to be a very nice WW2 dated US army M36 Canvas Field Bag bag.
Any chance of a couple of pics of the other side of it.

Hi Jock, Ian is correct. Often called a Musette bag.
It is a good example. Used by Paratroopers as well as others. They are a nice little pack. They can be used with a sling or worn on the back via the M36 D Ring suspenders.
Cheers, Ade.

sorry for delay on photos, busy week at work, better than the dole though!
Jock
Great piece of kit Jock, and thanks for the extra photos mate.
Those clips look to be in great condition, they normally rust up to b*ggery on the "spring" part.
Reagrds etc

That is a M36 mussette bag (same as the airborne would use)
Tip-on the large flap to open it if it says "HANSON MFG. CO." it is a repro.

Hi,
No it states Arnold MFG Co 1943 as per the photo, I doubt its a repro surely there is enough US stuff out there?
