This Swiss army rucksack is one sharp item, but it’s nothing like a knife, being that, again, it’s a rucksack. It’s the Swiss M90 bag, olive drab, made partly of water-resistant rubber, with suspenders and plenty of other loops, straps, buckles and harnesses. Measures approx 13-1/2” x 7-1/2” x 4-1/2” with a rigid bar across the back for stability, and a lower-back pad for comfort. Has (2) extendable side pockets approx 9” x 4” x 4” each, and the interior pocket has an upward-extending cinch sack. It’s a hell of a bag.

t’s not big enough to fit a snare, or even an 8” concert tom, but this Chinese military drum pouch did carry ammo drums for the SKS rifles used in the Vietnam War. Vaguely triangular, the pouch measures approx 7” tall, 7” wide at the top and 2” wide at the bottom. Has an adjustable shoulder strap, and cool Chinese lettering on the inside of the flap, which has a toggle closure. In classic olive drab, of course.

From Belgium, where they kept the gas mask and left us holding the bag. In olive drab canvas, with a shoulder strap, the pouch measures 11-1/2" tall x 5-1/2" square with a buckled top flap with leather-reinforced sides and (2) 8-1/2” deep pockets. Has (3) external C-rings, and the adjustable strap is approx 48” long with a lanyard clip.

This olive drab Austrian military soft pack measures approx 15" x 13" x 7" with an inner pouch measuring approx 13" x 7". There’s a drawstring around the top to pull the bag tight, as well as a flap and staps to wrap it into a cylinder and hold it in place. Also has holes for mounting it to a belt, which officially turns it into a fanny pack. Feels like nylon with canvas webbing.

You’ll need a map case. From the pre-smartphone world, where military maps still live. These are 11" x 6-1/2" folded, and they open to a clear 16-1/2" x 20" window with a zippered top on one side and a 7" x 4-1/2" x 5/8" flapped pocket with (5) pen holders on it. Close with hook-n-loop fasteners and have a 42” long adjustable and removable shoulder strap.

In nylon digital camo, this military radio bag measures 11" x 12" x 6" with adjustable straps on the side panels to pull them in, another to close the top, and a pair of female molle buckles to attach it to something else. Sew it all together, add a strap and you’ve got a great carry-all. Note openings at bottom corners. For you collectors, it’s marked  "APB03 RADIO POUCH SPM1C1-09-F-C002 8465015158636 F190686393 TAMCN NO. C54402F"

This is a really sweet bag for collectors, but you can also use it for camping and hiking.
