WWII Demolition Bag

After seeing the bag TheGrayGhost posted last week I figured I'd go ahead and post some pictures of my bag for reference. I picked this one up a few months ago and I'm very happy to have it in my collection, I have it displayed on a late war paratrooper mannequin that I'm slowly putting together.

 

I believe this is the later style of the demolition bags, it has the smaller stamped front buckles. I'm amazed with how nice it is, must've never been issued!

Congrats on finding a very nice and rare bag! This bag is a part of the early war demolition set. The bag I posted is the “small” bag which would have a metal box inside designed to hold tools, fuses and other supplies. The bag you have here is the “large” bag designed to hold 20 blocks of 1/2lb TNT.

Ah awesome, I was not aware that there were two sizes, quite an interesting piece of gear. Thanks for the info!
