An unique M1936 Musette Bag in my collection. Originally a wartime 1942 dated, Atlantic Products Corporation made, "rubberized"-type, Musette bag. Named to an officer, Captain T. A. Robertson. Then apparently sometime later I assume it was surplused as equipment to Israel where it was used as a Medic bag.

 

Marked up with hand painted red Hebrew text, a red medical Star of David, and stamped with what I understand to an IDF property equipment mark. The the Hebrew letter "צ" in a circle. The bag came filled with a mix medic items including WWII era US and Canadian bandages, and Israel 1960's medical items.

 

The carry strap is also WWII US surplus. A 1944 dated GP strap.

 

For reference here is an IDF domestic pattern compass pouch, dated 1975. Note the same stamp.

Very cool! The guy's name or perhaps unit name was "Shekel" but nothing to do with the Israeli national currency, just a coincidence. Very hard to tell what was written at the bottom and partially covered by the Magen (Shield) of David.
