What type of ruck sack is this?

I bought this about 25 years ago for 50 cents. I've never seen another one and I was wondering what type of ruck this is?? I tried to look it up by the number. It must be close to a tropical ruck sack, that is what kept coming up, but the numbers aren't the same. Do any of these numbers tell the date. Inside the flap is stamped:

 

Rucksack, nylon duck

DSA-100-2224

8465-782-3248

Its a Lightweight Rucksack which were made during the Vietnam war. The no date in the DSA number probably means it was made 1965 or 1966. LW rucks use a alluminum tubular frame. Go to vietnamgear.com for more info.

You have a lightweight nylon rucksack, it's missing it's aluminum frame though.

Most of the time that you have an undated example, the year of manufacture would run around

1965-1966.

If it is in decent shape, then you have a nice piece, you just need a frame.
