iron bender Posted June 1, 2017 Share #5 Posted June 1, 2017 M1904 haversack. Not a mapcase. DEL is for Delaware. NG unit haversack. OP says haversack type closure strap. Look for a mark on the interior flap. It's there. Probably Watervliet or RI and 04-10 dated. FYI two hooks are for carry sling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
