penobscottrader Posted March 28, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_pickrall Posted March 29, 2011 Share #3 Posted March 29, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskjl Posted March 29, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 29, 2011 I thought the USMC had square tabs on the ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't see the same strap in the link on post #44 but I do see the same buckle and same rounded tabs. This forum is such a wealth of knowledge, thanks. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penobscottrader Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted March 29, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penobscottrader Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted March 29, 2011 Here is the musette bag that had the straps in it, I'm assuming a army bag? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=270724828708 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted March 29, 2011 Share #9 Posted March 29, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
