Everyone knows that there are certain kanpsacks that can be used for a ANV impression. Some of those include the Kibler, Pritchard, Issac and Campbell. The one I want to focus on in particular is the Kibler Knapsack. I know it has been a hot topic of discussion on these forums for a long time, but it never seems to answer my questions.
The Kibler is know to be a variation of a Mexican War style bag. The only documentation of that style bags use is in the 10th VA by James A Kibler. If we go by strict documentable evidence, only those with a 10th VA impression can wear them. But what if we use our critical thinking skills. By doing that, common sense tells us that not only the 10th VA would have those bags.
My question is this. Was this bag one that came from the depot system? Would it be acceptable to use this pattern of bag on units other than the 10th VA?
