Picked this up today, pretty nice shape, the leather straps and a little dry but not stiff, dated phila depot 1912, any thoughts on style?

Fritz, I am thinking what you have here is a blanket bag as opposed to the haversack but would love to hear from others, I have my copy of Equipping the Corps out, but unfortunately it doesn't have a good photo under the flap and the attachment on the earlier one shown is different. Once again though, if I was to wager, that is what this is. A nice one too by the way. Thanks for sharing, Kevin

Thanks Kevin! I don't think this was used much if at all, only thing wrong is the flap being stitched which I'll get out. Any other examples out there?

Hi Fritz,

 

Do you have an up close picture of the USMC stamp? I'm on my way to building a full set of P1912 gear, so if you're ever looking to dump this, I'm your man! :D
