Spotted an army issue flax water bag on the Bay of E and since I have too many flax water bags as it is, I thought I'd share the love - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-Military-Water-Bag-/132092914362

Looks to me to be 60s or 70s era and would go perfect on the brush bar of a Series II/IIa or Series III LR I reckon.

NSN lookup for 8465-66-014-2482 says it's a "Bag, Water, Carrying"

If you have too many, care to have one less?

Yeah Boys,

dont be too focused on the Dand D arrow , I have a few pic`s of LRPV`s from the early 70`s with water bags hanging off them and the water bags have no army markings.   

Oh and no Daryl you wont find these photo`s on any LRPV research Facebook page. 

Cheers,

Mines a SUPEX brand, 8L withe the wire handle, however I might get some leather straps sewn in with 'lift the dot' fasteners to 'army it up' a bit

Thanks for these postings. I purchased a mint one of these bags with the same part number. The hanging straps are white! I am advised it was in the toolbox of an Perentie Ambulance. It is dated 2/91 with Broad Arrow symbol. If this is correct they were used into the Perentie era. Is anyone making repros?

the is the waterbag I mentioned.

Took about 2 years but I now have a waterbag with the same date and markings. Used condition, but not much used is how I would describe its condition.
I have it soaking in a bucket of water so I can use it Sunday.
