otter42 Posted August 8, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2012 I had passed this by in a local surplus store thinking it was a WWII Rucksack, but I stopped and took a closer look and was amazed to see it dated 1963. Can anyone give me some info on this? And if these are hard to find and a value. I looked in my books and found a little, somewhere I read these were used by early SF in Vietnam is that true? It's in great shape and appears to have all the straps. Thanks for any help, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_pickrall Posted August 8, 2012 Share #3 Posted August 8, 2012 Yours is in pretty good condition. It appears to be missing the rifle strap but otherwise intact. These were used by SF but I'm not sure that included VN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbunny Posted August 8, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 8, 2012 I remember seeing these used in 'Nam in '68-'69. Once I was waiting to catch a chopper out to our battery and there was a pile of them laying next to the pad. I was actually thinking about stealing one for myself but didn't.
