    The dates on the tags are the contrakt dates, not the actual date of mfg.
    The wool bag could also be used as a liner in the regular mummy bag for extreme cold weather. There was also a sheet type liner for the wool bag, a hard item to find.
    Post Korean War they made 2 sizes of mummy bags for extreme cold weather. The regular Mountain bag went inside the larger one.
    They looked exactly alike except one was noticeably larger.
    I've got the wool/cover & liner, the mummy bag/cover and the 2 post Korean war bags/covers. I've also got an extreme cold weather mummy bag that is day glo orange. It was an air crew survival item for the artic.
