    Swiss Military and Swiss Reproduction Bags

    Hey guys,

    New to this forum. I've been seeing a lot of these cool Swiss military reproduction textile bags from this brand Tanner Goods out of Portland, Oregon.

    Olive


    Navy


    First off, what are your guys opinion on these? And second, have you seen anything else like this on the market that isn't vintage or surplus?

    thanks for your help,

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    My opinion: They look nice but they aren't military and they aren't reproduction anything. Just bags made out of a material that looks slightly like the Swissicon salt and pepper pattern. They also "look" soft which means they were not waterproofed. So, if you like the look of the bag and have a use for it and the price is right, go for it. If you want to re-enact, seek something else.

    Re:reproduction back packs

    In my humble opinion.

    If it's not 100% Original Civil War or WW 1 or WW 2 or Post War or Current Military Field Equipment
    either American or European Military Made Field Gear.

    It's not worth having if it ain't the real deal!

    Depends. Are you willing to take original Civil War items out into the field, slog through the mud, walk through the brush and sit by a fire in the evening? I don't know anyone that is willing to do that. So there is a large market for reproduction period items. As far as the Civil War goes, most of the firearms being carried aren't even original. The backpack in question isn't a reproduction, it's just a bag.

    Looks like someone took a flour sack pattern and attached shoulder straps and buckles to the design.
