Original U.S. Marine Corps M1941-style field pack set, including both the upper haversack/field pack and lower cargo field pack. This two-piece Marine Corps pack system was designed so the lower cargo pack could attach beneath the upper pack, adding extra carrying capacity for field gear, clothing, rations, shelter items, and personal equipment.
The upper pack shows OD green canvas construction with shoulder straps, flap closure, web straps, metal hardware, and side attachment points. This example has a visible interior stamp, though it is smudged and not fully legible. The upper pack shows honest age and field wear, including fading, stains, fraying, sewn repairs, and some missing metal strap end caps.
The lower cargo pack is clearly marked FIELD PACK CARGO with contract number DSA 100-67-C-1042 and stock number 8465-382-7967, indicating 1967 U.S. military contract production of the M1941 cargo pack pattern. The lower pack also shows wear, fading, staining, and age-related marks, but remains intact and displayable.
A solid original USMC pack set for collectors, display, reenactment, living history, restoration, or completing a Vietnam-era Marine Corps field gear setup.
