Description

This lot comprises three distinct textile backpacks. The primary item is a large, olive drab U.S. military-issue rucksack, identified through web intelligence as an LC-1 Large Frame ALICE (All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) Pack. It is constructed from heavy canvas or nylon and features an external frame. The top flap is stenciled with “US”. A partially visible internal label indicates it is a “FIELD PACK, COMBAT, (NYLON)” of “LARGE” size, with a “DSA100-7” contract number prefix, suggesting a Vietnam War-era origin. Also included is a modern multi-compartment backpack by “EASTSPORT,” featuring an abstract dark camouflage pattern. The third item is a tactical-style backpack in a solid brown color, equipped with extensive olive drab MOLLE webbing and branded with a “DRAGO GEAR” logo depicting a stylized dragon/griffin head.
