This U.S. Army Musette Bag comes with a Rain Poncho, Towel, and Water Proof Bag. All items appear original WWII issue.
The canvas bag is in very good condition. Color is light green as a faded OD. There is minor wear. Stitching is solid and all buckles/snaps are present. There is some very minor rust staining on the bag from the metal but the metal itself shows little rust.
Bag measures approx 13″ x 13″ x 5″
The bag is labeled on the front: U.S.
Inside flap of bag is labeled: THE LANGDON TENT & AWNING CO. Manufactured in 1942
The Poncho in the bag is in excellent condition and appears to have either never been issued or was very seldom used. This poncho has been in this bag so long that the printed text on the inside has imprinted on various parts of the interior. The poncho is very tacky/sticky to the touch.
Inside of poncho is labeled at collar:
PONCHO, LIGHTWEIGHT, 0.0.
