Teddy Roosevelt-Era Surplus
Not a joke. These are serious vintage, U.S. Army infantry haversacks from the Spanish-American War era, made circa 1898. They're a dark khaki, 14" square x 4" thick, with drawstring closures. They have slender internal pockets along both inside edges and (2) 2" wide x 10" deep pockets bracketing a 9" wide x 10" deep pocket on the inside of the flap. The flap itself has a strap and buckle and will still bear its original stenciling, which may be "U.S.," crossed rifles, a cavalry-unit number, a combination thereof, or some other unique identification.

Barrel Quiver
You say you need something to carry your extra Dutch Army machine-gun barrels in? Guess who's got just the ticket. Measures 27" long OA x approx 8" wide, in heavy olive-drab canvas with (2) adjustable shoulder straps and a waist strap. Buncha compartments: (2) at 3" x 2" x 17", (2) at 2" x 2" x 10, (1) at 2" x 2" x 13", and a small pouch under the fold-down, clasp-closed top. Could also carry any number of broken-down fishing rods, or all of instruments for the Harmonicats. Used, but only by a little old Dutch lady corporal to carry her barrels on Sundays.

Sack Up Your Ruck
If your life, like ours, is practically overrun with ruck, you'll need a good rucksack. This one is military surplus from Switzerland, which is just jammed border to border with ruck, so they make the best rucksacks. Rubberized body, leather bottom, metal brace at the waist, adjustable and padded arm straps, cord and strap closures for the top flap, and an extra 11-1/2" x 9" flap pocket on the front. It measures 20" x 15" x 9" overall and, while used, is in extremely good condition. You know what neatniks the Swiss are. (We're not counting the slightly musty fragrance that can be banished with a spritz of fabric spray and a few hours in the sun.)

Raindrop Camo Bag
Carrying a state secret? Or a knockwurst sandwich? You can hide either in a Deutsche Armee bag in the olive-drab raindrop camouflage pattern--at least during a German rainstorm. This large bag is 11" x 12" x 5" with (3) rubberized straps, a top handle, buckle closures, and set of hooks and loops on the top and bottom so you can stack them or use them as panniers. Heavy canvas. Interesting look.

Rubber Dutchie
When you need to keep your powder dry, you'll wish you had this army-green rubberized bag from the Dutch military. Measures 12" tall x 14" wide x 5" deep, with tri-fold top flaps for extra waterproofing and heavy-duty embedded feet on the bottom corners. No carrying straps, but it has plastic buckles on the back and sides to add them. Easy conversion to a messenger bag or a pair of panniers.

Military Mystery Bag
Could very well be for a gas mask, but that's just a guess, and we know not from whose military. Interesting, though, and rubberized for your protection. It's olive drab, 9-1/2" x 11" x 4", with hook-and-loop belt fasteners. The belt fasteners are oriented so that there's an 8" x 10" snap-flap pocket on the front, a fold-over closure for the bag itself on one short side with a hook-and-loop catch against the body, and a 4" x 6" pocket with hook-and-loop closure on the opposite short side. Good deal if you need to keep stuff dry. Even better after a few hours in the sun and a good spray with a fabric freshener.

NATO Cam Bag
Very lightly used Chemical Agent Monitor bag (CAM bag). Solid olive drab, padded canvas, 16" long x 6-1/2" tall x 4-1/2" deep, with an adjustable shoulder strap and hook-and-loop closures. Has a 2-1/2" x 5" x 6" pouch inside that can be flipped outside the bag and remain there when it's shut, plus (2) 2" x 7" long sleeves inside the top. Includes a couple of extra bandolier-like straps with clips and assorted pouches on them.

Belgian Box
Olive-green plastic box with stainless steel latch and hinges, once the home of a Belgian army gas-detector kit (Gasdetectiedoos, Compleet) now comes with only its minimal dividers (one long, one clip), and possibly a leftover component or two. The sturdy plastic case is 10-3/4" x 6-3/4" x 2-3/4" deep, with a snap-down clasp and (2) 39" long canvas shoulder straps that are adjustable. Nice for a small toolbox or tackle box.

Plush Pouch
Direct from the U.S. Army, this desert-tan nylon pouch was made to hold a 2-qt non-sloshing bladder canteen. So authentic that it probably will have the original stenciling and user's name on it. Has a plastic latch, belt clips, an adjustable and detachable 42" shoulder strap. The cushy fake-fur lining insulates it in the winter. Wet the lining for a cooling effect in hot weather. Measures 8-1/4" x 7" x 3" with a little 3" x 2-1/4" pocket on the front. (Water purification tablets?) Don't carry water? It'd make a nice, warm traveling gerbil habitat. (There's even a drain hole in the bottom.)

A Frame Of Swedish Steel
This forest green CORDURA® nylon backpack from the Swedes has been used, but has a lifetime of trekking left in it. Mounted on a steel frame, it measures 23" long x 13" wide x 6" deep overall with a rubberized flap, internal elastic pocket, drawstring closure and straps for adding a sleeping bag. And we lied a little about that "Swedish steel" thing, we don't know where the steel's from.

Flour, Sugar, Salt, Tank Round
A different kind of canister. This one's from the Israeli army tank corps and once held a nice big piece of ordnance. Measures 23-1/2" long x 6-1/2" square (it has square blocks on a round tube) in black plastic. Internal storage space is approx 13" x 4-5/8" dia and it has a twist-off cap with a fold down handle. Got a fair amount of hose-offable dirt/mud on it, which it no doubt came by honestly.
