Re: rubberized haversacks January Bully Buy

I was just handed a package containing my new rubberized haversack. I LOVE THIS THING! It is the correct size, weight, and construction as the originals I was fortunate enough to study at the Kurtz auction back in 2008. Perhaps my favorite thing about it is the fact that the haversack is actually heat-sealed together instead of being glued or chemically bonded. It's got a nice shine to it like you see in original photos too! The only (and I mean only) thing I am going to do is replace the button with an original pin-shank dome rubber button as seen on some originals.

Thank you, Jan, for such a unique product and the very fast delivery!

I also received my haversack from Jan and it is excellent in every detail. I did add a hard rubber domed button and shortened the strap a bit just for my personal preference. I can't believe these are selling for $45, you can't buy a bad sutler row haversack for much less than that. Keep up the good work Jan.

Well, I"ll echo what the other happy customers have said; great product, great price, and speedy delivery. Well done, Herr Berger!

Re: rubberized haversacks January Bully Buy

Thank you lads. Well if anybody can provide one or two of these hard rubber buttons I might be able to get these as well. I couldn't find any so far. Of the 5 haversacks I have seen so far 4 had this rubber button and I assume it was the standard button for it.

Jan,
Get in touch with Bill Macintosh from Mac's Sutlery, he should be able to hook you up with some good buttons.

Jan,

Talked to my wife today and she said it had arrived. I won't be home until mid-April on R&R, so I won't see it until then, but from what I see in the reviews so far, I won't be disappointed. Thank you sir!

Jan,

I thought you might be interested in this quote from a letter to home from James P. Crowder of Co. I, 47th Alabama Infantry. In describing the Battle of Cedar Mountain, Aug. 9, 1862 Crowder writes in a letter dated Aug. 13, 1862:
"we run the yankes back and got thousans of there arms and camp equipege tho I never pick up nothing but a inder ruifer (india rubber) haver sack and a canteen" . Spelling left as original. This letter was published in the book "In The Land Of The Living - Wartime Letters by Confederates from the Chattahoochee Valley of Alabama and Georgia", by Ray Mathis, 1981 TSU Press

Nice reference to the rubber haversack by someone who was there.

Best regards,

Todd Guthrie
