Re: identification of equipment

Re: identification of equipment
That would be my guess as well. I think it's the M-1937 Bedroll. Insert some blankets, or even a tick mattress into and it gets fat really fast. The straps for them are huge too. Can accommodate it being about 3ft in diameter.

It’s correctly a M-1936 officers bedroll!
