I came across this bag and have never seen one like it before. Does anyone know what it is? It looks like it folds up into itself with a top flap to go over the pouches. Dated 1945. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks,

Kevin

Yep, nice bag. I just sold a minty one on ebay for a silly amount.

OK what was the silly amount? I plan on trading mine off as I don't collect Airborne. What amount should I be looking at. Robert

I think yours is a more valuable one, dated 1945. Most I've seen are dated later '40s. They were used by medics in Operation Varsity, I believe, late winter, early spring of 1945. Looks in pretty good shape.

It sold for $244 to a buyer in France. It was Johansen 1945 but was basically mint with good markings.
