Screen legend John Wayne's personally owned duffel bag from the hit 1968 film, ''The Green Berets'' which Wayne directed and starred in, and which was released at the height of Vietnam. Bag was most likely used by Wayne onscreen, as most all of the props and costumes, even weapons, used during filming were provided by the U.S. Army. Wayne wrote to President Johnson seeking his advice and asking for support in adapting Robin Moore's book with the same title to the screen. Apparently, Wayne received support from the U.S. Department of Defense, which lent all kinds of supplies and costumery. Olive green-colored U.S. Army duffel bag has ''John Wayne'' written on it three times in black marker. Bag measures 48'' long with a 46'' circumference at top. One hole on side of bag and heavy dampstaining and dirt to one side, most likely from use during filming. Includes a COA from John Wayne Enterprises. Very good condition.
