ANTIQUE WWI SWISS ARMY Military MESSENGER Supply BAG Salt Pepper CANVAS 1915 - From the research we have done on this bag we gleaned the following. The bag is called a salt & Pepper Canvas- it looks closer to an olive green with the salt & pepper fabric. The bag also has the leather portion which is marked as follows: Rud. Hammig Sattler Granichen and the Number 15. It also has amarking of a Cross within a Shield which is most likely fo...r an Army Medic but we don't know for sure. The first Name Rud Hammig is the name of the Saddler or Leather Maker, the next name Granichen is where the Bag was made, and the number is supposedly the Year it was made. We do not know for sure but this is all based on our research.
If you know differently please share the information with us. It measures as follows: 10" wide X 7" tall and has a depth of approx 2". The shoulder strap has a drop of approx 16" when held up. The outer portion is the Salt & Pepper canvas on one side and the Heavy or Quality Leather on the other side. The inner portion is also leather that originally had 3 compartments divided by a leather piece- now it only has 2 compartments as the one divider is missing. Not sure exactly what the bag was used for but it is different than any I have seen online.
It is a great hard to find or even rare piece to add to your Antique or Vintage Military Bag or Militaria collection.
