NEWS – Attention Indiana Jones fans! Channel your inner adventuring archeologist and check out this replica of the EDC bag that Indy used in the movies. The bag is based on a British Mark VII gas mask bag from World War II. It’s made of canvas and available in two versions: one with an open interior and one with the organizational structure that you see below. This isn’t a Chinese knockoff of a movie prop like the first lame Indiana Jones Grail Diary that I reviewed last year. Nope, it’s more like the better hand-made RamseyProps Indiana Jones Grail Diary I reviewed later. The British Mark VII Satchel is handmade by Magnoli Props of New Zealand. You can order one for $58.00 directly from their site. Who wants me to review it? 🙂

Julie, I have been bag-sober for almost a year now.
Mostly because I can’t afford the saddleback leather thirteener (yet).
But this bag here is sorely tempting.
Let me look at their shipping policy. However the taxes in Uganda will be atrocious.
I’m trying to get them to send me one to review 😉 The shipping from NZ to the US is $14 for my location. Not sure about to Uganda…
This one looks so cool though, right?
I have one of the unused bags from Temple of Doom. Being in TV for 25 years you get to know people. That one is pretty close to the OG 🙂
Bryan, I’m jealous! 😉
It is cool, I used it all the time and it is now my GenCon Bag. The OG ones have a fabric strap that is unattachable. Made from the same material as GI Webbing belts (at the time).
This looks great. I live in the UK so I occasionally see such things at markets and reenactment fairs.
I am tempted.
Just seen a 1944 one on ebay for half the price. I am willing to bet it smells musky however!
A war surplus Gas mask bag was the first one I carried throughout college. I took a lot of heat in the ’70s to carry a what was called a purse.
I don’t know what happened to the original bag i had, but decades later, I am still carrying an equivalent.
