ca. 1900 TRANSITIONAL HAVERSACK w/
RATION BAG ATTACHMENT – 15TH INFANTRY
MARKED:
Similar to the standard Model 1904
Haversack, this specimen is in very good condition
and includes structural features of the Model 1878
Haversack, but is sized to the specifications of the
Model 1904. It is stenciled on
the outer cover “US” and “K 15 95” for K Company of the
15th Infantry. All rings,
seams and closing billet are intact and there are no
rips, tears or holes. This Haversack also
includes the correct 8” x 10” ration bag buttoned to the
interior of the Haversack so it could be removed for cleaning.
The buttons also served as rivets through the "D" ring
billets to reinforce the attachment of the rings.
One of these buttons is missing but that does not
detract from the display quality of the Haversack, nor
is there any damage as a result of the missing button. Overall a
nice identified example of a piece of equipment
necessary to every soldier. $85
