Greetings all.
This isn't Indy related, but I was hoping with the vast sea of knowledge you all have after searching for Mark VII gas bags, you might be able to assist me in locating a bag I'm having no luck in finding...

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

That looks a lot like a Filson field bag. Check the D.M. Morgan website and do a search under 'Filson' and see if this isn't one of theirs. Regards. Michaelson

I think I found what you were referring to. Doesn't seem to be it. But thanks for the possible link.

Anyone else got some suggestions to offer?

Is this bag from a movie (tomb raider perhaps?), If so what movie?
I know I have seen that bag in an Army surplus store. A little more info may be helpful

Dean Corso's bag from the movie The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp. It was prominently featured many times throughout the movie.

Thanks for the further aid in locating this bag.

Have you tried army surplus sites. I think I've seen it before or similar on one of them.

Not the exact one, but sort of close:

I saw one on ebay with brown edges.

Gas mask bag for horses, German.

Oh man...I've been through so many surplus sites my head's spinning!

Thanks for the leads thus far, folks. It's more than I had when I came here.

Still no luck. I hope no one minds that I bump this once a week just to try and get any more assistance.

Thanks for everything that's been offered so far, guys!

I'm not sure it really is i military bag though... It might be but my girlfriend has a leather type bag that uses the same type of closure as in one flap to cover both the main and the two front pockets. I'm still looking around, fear not.

Thanks, Swindiana.

A few of us have been searching, and one person thought it might also be a mil-spec school bag or something of the like.
Still no luck on that front, either.

Ryusui · Post by **Ryusui** » Sun Sep 28, 2003 5:09 pm

A small, gratuitous bump.

Swindiana · Post by **Swindiana** » Tue Sep 30, 2003 6:10 pm

I might be on to something!
I saw a guy at campus carrying what looked exactly like this bag, only he got away before I had a chance to ask him about it. I know who he is though and maybe you'll end up at least getting a similar bag. Just be patient...

Regards,
Swindy

Oh VERY cool!
I swear...I don't know how you people do it. Trying to find this bag has been frustrating at best. Yielding no signifigant results yet.

Thanks for the continued assitance!

Small weekend bump.

Swindiana · Post by **Swindiana** » Mon Oct 13, 2003 1:34 am

Well, I haven't gotten hold of him yet and I have actually seen a few similar bags. I promise, I'll let you know as soon as I find something out.

Thanks Swindy.

i might be able to get you a bag. check back with me in a bit.

Post by **Michaelson** » Tue Oct 28, 2003 3:28 pm

Who was that masked man?

Regards. Michaelson

Swindiana · Post by **Swindiana** » Sun Nov 02, 2003 3:39 pm

This one might work too:

I figured it was OK to use an eBay link since you'd be the only one interested, Let me know what antiquity collector digs up for you thow.

Swindy

Ryusui · Post by **Ryusui** » Sun Nov 02, 2003 11:38 pm

Ok antiquity collector, I dropped you a PM. Thanks for checking.

Swindi, looks decent, it might pass, but I'll still be looking for the exact. Thanks for the continued help though!

Guys, this is seriously appreciated. Especially to the mods for letting this last so long, even if it's off topic from the main focus.

Swindiana · Post by **Swindiana** » Thu Nov 06, 2003 5:22 pm

This one looks pretty close to, the edge around the flap anyways:

Strikes me that that bag on E-Bay was (is) an Old Navy bag; a search of their site turned up nothing but visiting a store in person might help.

Regarsd,

Farn

I have the Old Navy bag. It's what I use as a diaper bag(stay at home dad by the way). It's way off in person compared to the Ninth Gate bag. It's canvas with a heavy duty brushed cotton edging and the trim on the flap is just webbing. Nice bag but not what you're looking for. K

Swindiana · Post by **Swindiana** » Fri Nov 07, 2003 5:35 am

And the search continues...

I saw this in a catalog I received in the mail and it jarred my memory of this post. This looks like it could be a winner.

http://www.stafford-catalog.com/store/

search for item #1355

Well it's definately the closest thing I've seen so far!

It's got a lot of the correct features. A few things are off. The straps are on top of the flap, where as the movie bag's straps seem to be attached to the underside of the flap. And I can't really tell, but it doesn't look like the shoulder strap has the metal keepers on either side of the bag, but is instead sewn onto the bag.

Still, this is the closest thing I've seen yet! Thanks for the lead!!!
