AAAO Posted August 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2009 This bag belonged to a guy in the 9th Division named Spirko. If I can get some photos of his whole grouping, I'll add them later. If anybody could tell me anything about the bag itself, I'd love to hear about it. I'm thinking it's foreign, but maybe private purchase in the US?

Should be some markings on the back. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAAO Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted September 4, 2009 Thanks guys...that helps a lot. I was sure it wasn't GI, but couldn't figure out if it was foreign military or private purchase. I don't have it with me right now but I'll look for markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
