Congratulations! Fantastic piece, and that looks really close to my issue British Army one which has serial # Used to travel o nepal for adventure of course, and seen many there. The best were as you said, made from auto springs. Merc springs, if those are available there I dont know. I am very impr...

Swindy, thanks so mucha nd you can see that one is 1943.Its interesting that both type press studs were in the same year for W & G. Ref Australian bag , it has squred off corner on flap, loop under flap , 3 eylet holes below, and very much a tan /khaki colour. Marking if I recall the details: VI...

Gentlemen, Most on your mind was the cost. Yes it was high only because I could get help from a friend and in good turn, he had to be covered for the time taken. It was not easy and took over one year of searching. Finding W & Gs in any form is mostly difficult. Adam is correct that you could ge...

Renderking, we can count on you! Thank you so much. There are 1941 & 42 marked bags. 4 are smooth snap closures and 6 are rippled snaps. One of each kind exists in my other storage. Yes all marked W & G. The other numbers are not yet known to me some being clearly marked and others just with...

Sorry Renderking, I am clumsy with posting pics. I tried and did not work. Could you give it a go? Really great of you! Thank you all your assistance.

Swindy, just stay posted just in case this comes up today your time.

You have all been very kind and I appreciate all the help being offerd. Thank you.

Renderking, just wondering if my mail with attachment picture turned out OK? I could not get a URL for this shot and could do with your help in posting it or on a new thread.

Many thanks.

Swindi,
I sent the picture of my collection to Renderking for him to help me post it here or on a new thread. Very kind of Rederking.

Best wishes,

Gentlemen.
Thanks for the warm welcome and I have seen a few of you. Yes some are experts on bags indeed. I even got one leather strap from Noel and one from Lee based on your info.
I did learn a lot and now is my chance to thank all of you. Thank You!

AC,
Hi and I sent you a private mail as I need one pair in 34" waist and 31" inseam. If unhemmed, 32" inseam should be fine.
Best wishes,

Thanks Al & Adam, I just did not find enough time to collect much other than bags of various sorts. Been looking at shirts and almost bought one from Noel. Spoken to Noell several times and he was really helpful. I did get a bag from him though. I might post a picture of my bag collection here i...

Been around the COW forums for quite some time and have been collecting some Indy related stuff (Mark VII bags), though I have had to pay high prices, I mostly got what I wanted. I look forward to be around as often as I can even for catching up with the latest news. This forums is very informative ...
