It is a perfect example of old school craftmanship and features some unique characteristics like several types of wood and pearl details that were worked into its neck!

Wheter the bag has been used in the military is not certain but when in 1953 a disaster struck the Netherlands when multible dikes broke during a heavy storm and huge parts of the country flooded, the bag was sent to the affected areas to supply the wounded.
That’s how it ended up in the Netherlands all those years ago and probably contributed to saving lives after a huge natural disaster!
The clever design of this bag can be folded open and is equipped with
multible compartments for storing medical instruments and supplies.
With leather straps the bag can be secured while folded up.
It also features an adjustable leather shoulder strap and a leather handle on top.
The front cover of the bag has been painted with a swiss flag and red medical cross.

Antique 19th century victorian prosthetic lower leg

On the top part of the two iron bars used to be a second leather brace that could be fastened around the upper leg of its wearer but sadly this is missing. Also one of the leather straps tore off during the cleaning proces. I glued it back on.
