  • Richmond Depot Haversacks

    I know there were many types of haversack used by the ANV, but I am looking for a picture or discription of one made at the ricmond depot. Did they
    have a standard pattern? What was the most common style?
    Any information would be appreciated.

    Does anyone have a diagram with measurements of this type or haversack? If not would it be similar to the Mosses Alexander Haversack?

        Robert,

        Thank you for answering this question.

        An appointment can be made with the MOC to examine the several examples they have documented to their collection (not just the ones documented in this book).

        Very respectfully,
        Matthew Semple

          I have this book, so are we saying the Moses Alexander bag and the waterproof RD bag are the same size, etc? If so I'm good to go! Thanks!
