    Looks like a German burlap bag.

    I saw it but have not downloaded an image of it yet

    It looks like a large burlap bag with a quite clear Germanicon spread eagle on it.
    Under that are H.Ypfl 1941. Any suggestions?

    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.

    The burlap bag turned out to be a prop from Saving Private Ryan. No wonder I could not figure out the Ordance number! Went for $75.00!!!

    In 2007 while visiting my friend in Krakow Poland I was wandering the streets around Market Square and found a shop with many burlap sacks with the Germanicon eagle on them. They were all new and obvious fakes but would have been a great keepsake. The shop was closed and I never found it again, guess I had wandered too much that day and not taken careful notice of exactly where I was.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    I did not want to pull the trigger on the bag as I was not completely sure about it. and I am glad I did not. Even if it was a prop for SPR. Somebody would consider it a real one if they did not know about ordance numbers. I guess it would have been designed for a coal bag or sand bag.
