Rare Imperial Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces SNLF Haversack "Bread Bag" Worn and Complete with Green Label. While the Army haversacks are fairly common and relatively inexpensive, the naval SNLF haversack is nearly impossible to find, in 20 years of collecting I have not seen another for sale. This is a rare issued and complete example as shown in the Osprey JAPANESE SPECIAL NAVAL LANDING FORCES Uniforms and Equipment 1932-45 by Gary Nila & Robert A Rolfe page 38 the mid war c 1941 type of combat bag carried by ground troops. The Special Naval Landing Forces were a small force of elite ground troops of the Imperial Navy known for their proficiency and savagery sometimes called Imperial Marines by collectors.

All the straps and buckles are complete There is a tiny tear or pencil eraser sized hole at the top of the flap from wear. There is rust on the surface of the metal buckles and belt catch as would be expected of an original. The correct green patch label is complete on the front and has kanji lettering on it.

The shoulder strap is all complete as well, there is an area where the seam on one edge has become separated from wear. There are wrinkles on the surface of the material and some light soiling from age. A wonderful vintage item with enormous character.

One of the hardest to find SNLF accessories for this elite unit. All images were taken outside in intense natural sunlight and are not enhanced. Photos taken in natural sunlight without enhancement. World War 2, samurai, bushido, Pearl Harbor, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, kamikaze, kaigun, marine.
