Only One Available. This is a very scarce piece of French field gear from the First World War period. This M1905 mounted artillery knapsack is very difficult to find, and this one is in great service-worn condition. The pack has a two buckle front flap closure and a canvas \u0026amp; leather carry strap which is in good shape. The bag is made of linen or hemp fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a stamped cartouche marking on the front flap to the right, but it is too faint to read. There are additional stamps on the underside of the flap, along with a pocket that is now missing its button. It would have had a Military equipment type aluminum or zinc button. The bag is divided into two unequal compartments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bag was normally worn on saddle or carriage horses. There is a page of research on the interior which was taken from 1940 Le Soldat Francais, Volume 2, by Olivier Bellec. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady for display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44912851943493,"sku":"ONJR26MAHG057","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR26MAHG057__01.jpg?v=1777043344","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-french-wwi-m1905-mounted-artillery-knapsack-haversack-with-carry-strap-rare","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
