Original U.S. WWII U.S.M.C. Issue Named M1928 Haversack with Named Meat Can Pouch
-
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a very nice example of the standard issue M1928 Haversack backpack and meat can pouch used by U.S. armed forces at the start of WWII. These were designed at the turn of the century and used by all US Army and Marine Corps infantrymen throughout WWI and WWII. The original version, the M1910, was used throughout WWI, and was replaced by the M1928 during the interwar period. The only difference between M1910 and M1928 packs in design is the addition of an extra strap on the rear of the M1928.
This example is Marine Corps used as indicated by the lack of a “U.S.” stamp at the front. These were manufactured by the Philadelphia Depot for the Marine Corps. This example has no maker mark but is stamped with a name, “Grunlon”? Difficult to make out. The included meat can pouch is stamped O.E. ANDERSON, JR. which could be for an Orville E. Anderson or an Otis E. Anderson from what we found in the muster rolls.
The back of the meat can pouch is marked D.Q.P. 1941-42.
