Screen legend John Wayne's personally owned bag from the hit 1968 film, ''The Green Berets'' which Wayne directed and starred in, and which was released at the height of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Rare olive green canvas field musette bag was most likely worn 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 costumes. Printed on green canvas bag is ''U.S.'' to front flap with ''Hamlin Canvas / Goods Co. / 1942'' printed underneath flap. ''John Wayne'' is written on both the front and the back pocket; ''J.W.'' is also written on back, ''J.W.'' The Field Musette Bag measures 12.5'' x 10'' and is 4'' deep. Bag includes a COA from John Wayne Enterprises. Near fine condition.
