Original WW2 RAF Parachute Bag

An original Royal Air Force Parachute Bag dating from the Second World War and
in good condition.

These bags were used throughout the Second World War and are now synonymous
with Aircrew, particularly Bomber Command, during this period.

The bag is made from a heavy khaki canvas and features two reinforcing straps
which run the entire circumference of the bag, becoming handles at the top. The
bag fastens with a 'Lightning' brand bras zipper which is typical of the
period. The Air Ministry crown and AM marking is present to the exterior of the
bag which is a nice detail.

The bag measures in inches 16 x 16 x 9.

The bag is in very good condition with only some signs of wear and use which
are to be expected with a bag of this vintage. Both handles are in good
condition and the exterior of the bag still retains a nice deep buff colour.
The zipper works well although there is s tear to the fabric which is again
shown in the pictures. As long as the bag is treated with care this won't get
any worse. The bag displays well but please study the pictures before
purchasing.

All in all a nice bag which displays well. These are becoming rare and sought
after bags and it would make a great addition to any collection.
