Ww2 USMC duffle bag with artwork

Hey everyone. Here's another one of my ebay purchases. I couldn't find anything on the soldier but I tried to see which units were at all of the battles listed on the duffle bag and the only unit I could find that was at every one of them was the 4th marine defense battalion(though if any other unit was at all of these battles than please correct me). I loved the artwork on this bag and I hope you guys like it as well. Personalized pieces like this are what I always hope to find at shows but seemingly can never find. I have the pieces that my dad personalized (his knife,sea bag, and helmet cover among other things) so to me finding this is a treasure. It not only gives some basic info on the soldier himself but I get to have a peek into his personality at the time he drew this stuff. Hope you all like this bag and any comments are welcome.

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.

We here often lament "if this gun could talk" well that bag actually does. Really nice piece.

Thanks hooked. I know it spoke to me when I saw it online. I knew I just had to have it for my collection as it makes a perfect companion for my dad's personalized sea bag. I just love the vintage artwork on this bag as well as this soldier's story with him being at some of the most famous battles of the pacific.
