Fly USMC Posted November 19, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 19, 2014 Just picked this up. Let me know what you think. The bag is real, but is the paint job newer? I got this out of a pickers shed. It had been there a little while. It was covered in cobb webs (could have been there 5 years, or 20) Thanks, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
