For your consideration is this U.S. Military Cavalry leather single sided haversack circa 1860's-1920's. The bag shows good design with a U.S. cavalry stamp on the face of the bag flap. The buckles and ring on the back bottom of the bag are made from brass and shows three straps to the front of the back. A haversack or small pack is a bag with a single shoulder strap. Although similar to a backpack, the single shoulder strap differentiates this type from other backpacks. The condition of this bag is good; it shows its age with a heavy patina adorning the leather from age and leather soap, the left top slot for the side sling is broken . The overall measurements of this bag are 14" x 13" with a sling height measuring 25".
