    Default Possible Japanese knapsack?

    One of my friends found this knapsack online and asked for information about it. It looks to be Japanese, though there are some differences between this one and early war. The side straps are cloth rather than leather and the flap is textured rather than having horse hair. Could this be a Manchurian made for the Japanese, civilian, or a Chinese copy?Possible Japanese knapsack?Possible Japanese knapsack?Possible Japanese knapsack?

    It's likely to be civilian and normally branding iron markings applied to the inner wooden frame should be present, if Japanese. If such marking is not there it is not Japanese.

    All these images were taken from Ebay. This is the only 'marking' that could be found at this time. If there is a branding, it'll have to be taken when the product arrives.

    If it is even without wooden frame, it is not Japanese. Anyway no chance of it being military. Check inside for the presence of a wooden frame with markings. Photo below is how an army one would be marked.
