Musette Bag
Often the soldier in France found that his M1910 equipment did not offer enough capacity to carry all of his belongings and food. As a result many acquired an extra bag or Musette bag to help carry extra belongings.
Schipperfabrik offers a number of bags that may be put to use as a musette bag; in particular the reproduction Chauchat magazine bag and the SBR gas mask bag are acceptable as musette bags.
