Not sure what the bag is. Inside white label is washed out, has lift the do snaps. One strap seems to be broke. The other piece is a spare barrel for M-9? Which looks to be converted into something. Has hanger attached to top which looks like it was cut. I was thinking machete but the opening is not big enough for blade to fit. Any help is appreciatedpost-11207-0-12478400-1532738724_thumb.jpgpost-11207-0-32607200-1532738749_thumb.jpg

The first item is a carrier for a gas mask ( the nomenclature escapes me at the moment).

 

The second item s a cut down barrelcarrier tyrant seemto have beeen made into a machete sheath, probably post-war.

Thanks Steve, but I tried to fit a machete in the barrel carrier, it doesn't fit. The opening is sewn halfway shut. It's about the sz of a barrel. Would they have still used it for a barrel?

The M6 Gas mask carrier, yours has all it's Marking worn/faded away, which is understandable as it was a popular ad hoc haversack in WWII and Korea.

Yeah it's a bag for a Browning Machine Gun Barrel, these are what they look like, yours has had a major portion of it, to include it's flap cut off, what purpose I do not know?

Coincidentally I just saw a cut down barrel carrier just like that in an antique mall. My first thought when I saw it was 'machete sheath!' Then when I got up close it was 'oh...'
