Original U.S. Civil War Federal Regulation Canvas Backpack Knapsack Brown Bess Musket Parts and has slight wearnd fadingOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a rare example of an original, Federal issue, box style Army knapsack in nearly complete but delicate condition. This infantrymans accoutrement, of the early war pattern, is a soft double bag knapsack made to accept an internal wooden frame that rendered rigidity to the pack. This artifact is made up of two sections of canvas coated with a black rubber or tar like substance for protection from the elements.
