This is a US Model 1928 meat can pouch used during World War II. It followed the design of the WWI version, known as the Model 1910 meat can pouch. These were used to carry what came to be known as the mess kit. On the inside back of the pouch are three sleeves used to store one knife, fork and spoon each. The only other component was the "meat can" itself. These were attached to the top of the haversack by means of two canvas straps sewn onto the haversack. The only major difference between the Model 1910 and the 1928 is the means used to secure the flap. The Model 1910 used a single snap, where the 1928 used a single strap. This khaki canvas meat can pouch is in unissued condition and has no wear, use or damage. It has no stamps anywhere, no makers marks. These can be seen in countless pictures of the troops ashore on D Day on the tops of haversacks. If you want a complete representation of the US World War II infantryman, you gotta have one of these in your collection.
