Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted January 18, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2017 I found this pack mislabelled on eBay, I thought it looked WWII USMC so I did a little searching, I think it is an M1941 Knapsack, if it's not I'm only out $20.

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted January 18, 2017 No date that I can find, I understand these were done in Elmer's disappearing purple. Where were they marked? I may be able to find it with the night vision on a camcorder. While looking for the date I did find the name S R Mosqueda, but unfortunately Mosqueda is such a common name I don't think I can track him down.

doyler Posted January 18, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 18, 2017 Depot made can be dated but it was often faint or wore off quickly. This is a early pattern(1st pattern in collectors speak) lower with the clinced buckle attachemnts and were later changed to a sewn arrangement as the clinched proved to be a weak point and tear out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
