A very useful good looking, tough cotton canvas kit bag made in India.
If you think it needs a bath, it can be safely hand washed. Use a desert spoonful of soft liquid soap suitable for cotton fabrics.
Before immersing the bag in a tub of warm water I rubbed Gardeners Hand Cream into the soft leather and left it for 24 hours.
When washed and rinsed with running water, I left the bag hanging at an angle to drain the inside. The leather remains soft and pliable.
The Brass fittings are better than found on some WWI relics, and that's okay by me since I bought one for general use rather than re-enactment.
Various types of Musette bags were available for officer's to purchase privately and there were single or double strapped flaps.
This particular WPG design is similar to the US M1921; interior same in M1936 pattern.
I have a WWI Australian light horseman's canvas & leather satchel that's different again.
Only a couple of fabrication faults to mention on mine. The leather being thinner than expected was cut unevenly along the front with some dodgy stitching roughly missed at the corner. Consequently the top edge of the end leather was 1/4" higher. Needed repair to improve appearance as obvious when noticed.
The shoulder strap was unevenly dyed too but Jerry offered a replacement. I declined. With use the brass fittings don't grip the webbing strap firmly enough to stop it slipping. Decided to replace it with leather as seen on most originals.
All things considered I'm pleased with this. It's a smart, sturdy and adaptable kit bag. Excellent value.
Good customer service and super fast delivery.
