This bag was mine (US Air Force 1970-74) and is in very usable condition. There are numerous small tears and holes (see photos), however. they do not affect the integrity of the bag at all. Handles, all buttons, and snaps are solidly intact. The zippers open and close with no friction. A great bag!
