How would you go about packing one of these? What is the pocket on the flap used for? For all I can tell it is an 1854 model.
Thanks,

The time for compromises now passed, and the South is determined to maintain her position, and make all who oppose her smell southern powder and feel Southern steel !

Chad,
Maybe I'm still a newbie.. but where did you get your hands on a French Knapsack? Did you purchase one recently from an outside vendor or did you make your own? AND if so what's the impression you're going for?
Just wonderin' I've been looking at a few examples since you posted.

I think Lord Voldemort a.k.a. NJ************** was making these a while back, probably eight years ago or so. I do not know of anyone who is currently producing them now.

I could have sworn back in the day Jarnagin was making one. Now they only have their French box up.

Now thats living history.
I think the french knapsacks could be the latest item offered by Wrinn Inc...I own one of his coverlets...a.k.a. wrinnletts...and have seen his special addition ugly-as-the-backside-of-a-mud-fence confederate trousers a.k.a. wrinnsors.
Surely it's not the 1747 Louisburgh issue

Luke,
Surely you can not be calling Chad's scarcrow trousers ugly! I believe the great Ross of Florida and the Great Blunt of Florida replicate these bags.
