Original US WWII M1936 Musette Bag Dated 1943-
This is an authentic M1936 Musette Bag, manufactured by Atlantic Products Corp. and dated 1943. Constructed of durable khaki canvas, it features the standard “U.S.” stencil on the front flap, dual strap-and-buckle closures, and metal hardware. The Musette Bag was designed as a personal field pack for officers, paratroopers, and certain enlisted troops during WWII. Its purpose was to carry essential gear and personal items when a full haversack or pack wasn’t practical.
The interior is divided into two main compartments, including a smaller inner pocket for documents or field gear. The back retains the adjustable web belt/shoulder straps with metal snap hooks for attachment to the M1936 suspenders.
This bag shows moderate wear, light staining, and surface soiling consistent with wartime use and storage. All stitching remains solid, and markings are there and are slightly legible.
