All these bags all look so darn good !
One more thing to collect now but I’ve got to find someone to paint a repro because I have NO artistic talent what so ever.
@zoomerHere's a fake stencil I made up that actually uses the font Stencil, which always looks hokey when neatly laser-printed. It should make you imagine stupid TV theme music with lots of tubas and snare drums, and a title like Private Goofball or Operation Screwloose.

This uses a font called News Gothic Bold that actually existed in the 1940s, and could have been used for this very purpose. It shouldn't form any extraneous images in your mind, just aviator's kit bag, property U.S. Government.

Anyone know the zips on Burts bag ?? First time ive seen that sort on an AN6505 !Carl
I took a close up of the stitching around the zip tape but I don’t see any indication of a replacement . Thanks for your input by the way.

IanI’m in a very similar boat, Burt. I’m searching, a little bit, with no luck, so far.

Hopefully one of the more artistic among us will hears our pleas for help and have a little pity on his less than artistic buds and come to our aid.

Thats where ive seen them before !!Carl, they look like the zip off a sleeping bag of the period to me.
Never seen them on a bag before but everything else looks pukka....
