Old or new military bag?

[oscargrey]

Hi,

Im trying to figure out if my green military canvas bag is contemporary

or older? And if it would be considered a military field bag or backpack, It has newer patches on it but not sure if the bag is older. Appears to have a 1952 date. 

Any ideas? Thanks all

The 1952 is probably the date on the haversack so, it it Korean War era. The broad arrow mark is a British acceptance stamp. The patches are more current (Boy Scouts?).

M.E. Co. is the maker's mark, according to the same source.

Here is the New Mexico state emblem used on a biker patch. I don't think the patch is that old. Looks new. Watch the video.
