MODEL 1904 US ARMY NOSE BAG – IN EXCELLENT
CONDITION: A very nice specimen, this Model
1904 Nose Bag is in excellent condition, with a clean,
bright canvas body, strong legible U.S.Q.M.C. stencil on
the front, smooth, shiny surfaces on all the leather
components, and all of the seams intact. There are no
tears or wear points in the canvas. The billet end of
the head strap has been trimmed contemporary to its
use. Through the years
I have noted that the billets on curb straps, reins,
halters and headstalls show this same intentional
trimming and I surmise that with all of the straps of
leather concentrated around the horse’s head,
eliminating any unneeded or unnecessary lengths of
leather to “clean” up the area and reduce the chance of
tangles or snags was certainly in the soldier’s, and the
horse’s, best interests. There would no need and
very few opportunities to improve upon this nose bag.
