Found these two straps in a WWII Musette bag I picked up at the flea market, wondering are they WWI or WWII and Army or USMC? Both have the bronze buckles and bronze end pieces on them. Yes I stuck the rubber band around them lol. Thanks!

They are the tent roll straps used with the USMC P1941 Pack System. Check to see if your musette bag is the USMC version in which case it is worth several times more than a Army version.

Thanks for the info! 20th century militaria stuff is not my area, I collect 18th and early 19th c. militaria but as I pick antiques I find 20th c. militaria almost daily. I couldnt find them in the ETO collectors guide so I assumed they were different! This forum is such a great resource, thanks!

That looks to be an Army Musette bag for sure. It has the US on the flap. It is a very good date and a seldom seen maker. Hopefully it will go for decent money.
