Sac A Dos-supple frame

[toussant]

Calling all experts!
    I would like to get your opinion of the French pack on Omaha's Surplus website- does this look suitable for the Indo time period? The leather looks yellowish from a further shot, and naturally colored in the closeup, which is what I've seen in my limited resources. Does this piece look suitable for reenacting?
Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Yellow (chromium-tanned) leather= third trimester 1962. Some date stamps may show earlier dates, but it was not issued until late 1962. Green leather is early '70's. I did buy one of those to cannabalize the frame for a correct Mle. 50 sac à dos, and I can assure you that the leather is indeed yellow.

So, the answer is "no".

Well, that's too bad- thought we might have a winner... Glad I checked before buying! Thanks for the imput!
Adieu!
