M1967 USMC Combat Field Pack, RARE 1 only! Near Mint Condition

Description

The nylon M1967 USMC Combat Field Pack was designed by the Marine Corps Landing Force Development Center as a replacement for the M1941 Haversack. The design of the pack evolved from the experimental XM1964 haversack with two outside pockets in addition to the main storage compartment, which had a waterproof rubberized collar. The top flap had two side webbing hangers and one in the middle for attaching an entrenching tool carrier.
When the matching USMC M1967 suspenders were used to support an equipment belt the pack was worn on the back by clipping the top eyelets to the suspender shoulder hooks and by mating the pack’s male snap fasteners with the female fasteners on the rear suspender straps. Alternatively it could be worn as haversack by connecting both front and rear suspender straps to the D rings on the bottom of the pack.

Over 60 years in the surplus business, we have never seen this pack- EVER, almost mint condition. All new, just some scratches on the id tag holder like most packs from storage. This thing is a beauty and
VERY VERY RARE.
1 only. 1970's dated
If you can find the suspenders that go with it, a wonderful collectors set that will be!
