Tent accessory bag, cotton duck, model 1941? Red Army WW2 Reproduction

Description: Self made reproduction Red Army tent accessory bag (nabor meshok), copied directly from an original in my own collection and period illustrations from manuals. Bag is made of green cotton canvas duck imported from Russia, and is approximately 11 cm x 40 cm. Drawstring is white cord. This bag was worn strapped and tied to the left side of the model 1941 rucksack. Two versions of this bag are known, one example with a curved base and two strap loops which is possibly the 1939 model. This version has a square end and no strap loops, and conforms to illustrations in the 1941 quartermasters manual, and is possibly the 1941 version. For the 1941 pack method, the manual says to leave 100 cm of the tent rope free and hanging out of the bag to tie the top end in place with two turns around the rolled greatcoat. (See illustrations 2, 3). This bag was not used in conjunction with the model 1936 pack or the models 1930 and 1941 veshevoi meshoks. It held the tent equipment of 2 x wooden poles, 1 x wooden and 1 x metal peg, and a length of hemp rope. Reference pictures are shown from period sources.
