I am not sure if this has been brought up here. I did see a few messenger bags when I searched, buit not this one. This shot is from the Fox show "24" starring Kiefer Sutherland as Agent Jack Bauer, who heads a field operations unit of the Counter Terrorist Unit.
The bag looks very Indylike, but not being an expert on the various MK's and other similar bags, I know this is the best place to ask. I am confounded by the 3 drainage holes, single center snap and extra-long web strap. At least all on the same bag.
Well an MKVII can bee seen TOD with the three drainage holes but I have never seen a bag with a single center snap. It could very well be an original the prop dept. modded or a variation we have not seen being Indy "gearheads".
If I had to guess about the bag, I'd say it's purely a prop designed for scripted functionality, which would explain the single snap. It would hold the flap closed, but give the actor quick and easy access to stuff kept near the sides during an action sequence.
I think it looks like some sort of repro bag. Those canvas 'lanyard loops' on each side look like a repro I've seen somewhere, I just can't remember where.
hmmm... how about a third snap in the hem of a MK-VII flap, so it still looks accurate, but you can secure it with just the center snap for easier access.
I've searched for this bag for weeks now and come up with nothing.
I thought a 1 snapped 3 drainage hole gasmask bag would be easier to find. Guess not.
I feel a bit retarded that I just happen to see somewhere while flipping channels last week exactly what this bag is for and where it came from but I just cannot remember now.
Both the 2 hole and 3 hole bags were used in this scene in TOD.
Cation: The above still shows his MkVII with the 2 vents. The scene then cuts to the effects bag (below), a MkVI with 3 vents http://www.indygear.com/igbag.html
Would anyone here be interested in one of these modified MK bags? I was thinking of doing a smaller run of the Bauer MK, but need to know if there is enough interest. I'm guessing it'll be in the same price range as my other bag (around $35, shipped and hopefully including the web strap).

Hey Indy, just curious, how did those Bauer jackets from a couple seasons ago sell?
