Unusual WW2 US Navy CHAPLAIN's Folding KIT Wardrobe DUFFLE Bag a rare piece
Here’s a very unusual piece of US military web gear that I cannot find another example of anywhere.. It was owned by US Navy Reserve Chaplain J. GLASSER and I’m pretty sure it dates to WW2 or maybe earlier. His name and service number are stenciled on the outside flap. I cannot find another marking or label on it anywhere but it certainly appears to be a military item made of heavy canvas duck outside with a lighter canvas interior. It folds up with numerous straps and buckles and measures about 28″ by 20″ when closed. It has a big leather carrying handle. When you un-snap the 3 interior hooks, it folds out to measure 56 long. Inside is a place to hang either uniforms or maybe Vestment Robes and have then protected very well. There are number pockets inside with snaps and outside with buckles. I believe those carried all the various items a Chaplain needed to do his work in the field. It’s in excellent condition with no rips, stains or other excess wear. If anyone recognizes this bag and confirm or correct me, please send me a message.
