US WW2 Utah Beach Medical Bag

In a very nice light used condition a stunning and hard to find US WW2 'Utah Beach' Medical Bag.
These bags were issued to members of the 4th Infantry Division Medical Detachments on D-Day.
The bag comes in the OD3 color and comes with various markings on the front and sides of the bag.
Unfortunately, since these items are such a specialized piece of equipment, and due to the fact that they were not widely issued outside of the 4th Infantry Division, little is known about their contents. The bag itself is of an extensible design allowing its interior capacity to be altered depending upon the situation. Two straps are secured around the length of the Bag, and are closed by standard buckles. These straps can be adjusted allowing the top of the Bag to be rolled down as required.
This item also features an integrated carrying mechanism, which is heavily designed around the Medical Suspender. Two wide shoulder straps are provided for comfort, and are also attached to a strap and buckle, allowing them to be fully adjusted to suit any condition. The Bag is reinforced on each seam, but unlike its Navy-issue counterpart, this specially made Bag for the 4th Infantry Division does not feature a fiberboard reinforcing plate at the bottom.
Original bags are devoid of any maker markings.
The bag comes in a very nice used condition without any real damage to the bag and straps.
A very hard to find D-Day (Utah beach) related item that makes a great display!
