GeneralLucas Posted September 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 2, 2014 I have never seen one of these water bags, are they made for the USMC or are they experimental? Any info would be of help and thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Posted September 2, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 2, 2014 Hi,this is USMC 2-1/2 gallon water bladder carrier manufactured by International Latex Corporation 1944-45. Tom Attached Images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralLucas Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted September 2, 2014 Mandy, Thanks, here is a picture the bladder removed from the bag, neither the bag nor the bladder are marked USMC. So I assume other branches of service used them? Are they common as I have never seen another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Posted September 2, 2014 Share #6 Posted September 2, 2014 Hi, I think that it's WWII. USMC water bladder carrier and it's interesting because it's not stamped. I have one in my collection too. Tom Additional photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_usmc Posted September 4, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 4, 2014 Only the Marine ones had the shoulder strap so this isn't an Army one. I have one too. I wouldn't say they're common, but they don't seem to be very rare either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpeoplesjunk Posted March 26, 2018 Share #8 Posted March 26, 2018 I have one dated 1944,all the ones I see on the net are dated 45. Are the early ones tougher to find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
