View the Veteran's Information section for more details regarding Petavine's life and military service. The M1928 haversack was manufactured in 1941 by Baker-Lockwood Mfg. Co., Inc. It retains its original mess kit pouch (also known as a \"meat can\"). Inside are two leather pocket protectors for the mess kit's now-missing utensils. Both the haversack and mess kit pouch are marked with the original owner's name and Army Service Number, showcasing their long history together as a set. \"B36\" is stenciled on the underside of the mess kit pouch's flap. Unfortunately, its significance is unknown to us. Secured with thick twine to the haversack's bottom is its original pack carrier (also known as a \"diaper\"). Also included is Petavine's original M1936 pistol belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvenance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrivate Collection, Tucson, Arizona\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n        body {\n            font-family: 'Futura', Arial, sans-serif;\n            background-color: #f4f4f4;\n            margin: 0;\n            padding: 0px;\n        }\n\n        .condition-report {\n            max-width: 767px;\n            margin: 0 auto;\n            background-color: transparent; \/* Transparent background *\/\n            border: none; \/* No border *\/\n            padding: 0px;\n        }\n\n        .scale-container {\n            display: flex;\n            justify-content: space-around; \/* Changed from space-between to space-around *\/\n            position: relative;\n            padding: 0px 0;\n        }\n\n        .scale-item {\n            display: flex;\n            flex-direction: column;\n            align-items: center;\n            position: relative;\n            flex: 1;\n            text-align: center;\n        }\n\n        .scale-label {\n            font-size: 16px; \/* Font size updated to 16 *\/\n            color: #999; \/* Lighter color for \"Fair\" and \"Excellent\" *\/\n            margin-top: 10px; \/* Increased space below the dot *\/\n        }\n\n        .highlight {\n            font-size: 18px; \/* Increase font size *\/\n            font-weight: bold; \/* Make the text bold *\/\n            color: #333; \/* Darker color for \"Good\" *\/\n        }\n\n        .dot {\n            height: 12px; \/* Larger dot *\/\n            width: 12px;\n            background-color: #999; \/* Lighter dot color for \"Fair\" and \"Excellent\" *\/\n            border-radius: 50%;\n            display: inline-block;\n            position: relative;\n            z-index: 0; \/* Ensure dots are above the line *\/\n        }\n\n        .highlight-dot {\n            background-color: #333; \/* Darker dot color for \"Good\" *\/\n            height: 12px; \/* Increase dot size *\/\n            width: 12px;\n        }\n\n        .line {\n            position: absolute;\n            top: 10%; \/* Adjusted top property for better alignment *\/\n            left: 5%; \/* Shortened the line *\/\n            right: 5%; \/* Shortened the line *\/\n            height: 2px;\n            background-color: #eaeaea; \/* Lighter line color *\/\n            transform: translateY(-50%); \/* Adjust for perfect centering *\/\n            z-index: 0; \/* Line behind the dots *\/\n        }\n\n        @media (max-width: 600px) {\n            .condition-report {\n                padding: 0px; \/* Reduced padding for mobile *\/\n            }\n\n            .scale-container {\n                flex-direction: row; \/* Ensure items are in a row *\/\n                justify-content: space-around; \/* Bring items closer together *\/\n                padding: 10px 0;\n            }\n\n            .scale-label {\n                font-size: 14px; \/* Smaller font size for mobile *\/\n            }\n\n            .dot {\n                height: 12px; \/* Smaller dot for mobile *\/\n                width: 12px;\n            }\n\n            .highlight {\n                font-size: 16px; \/* Slightly smaller font size for mobile *\/\n            }\n\n            .highlight-dot {\n                height: 12px; \/* Slightly smaller dot size for mobile *\/\n                width: 12px;\n            }\n\n            .line {\n                top: 23%; \/* Adjusted top property for better alignment on mobile *\/\n                left: 10%; \/* Shortened the line *\/\n                right: 10%; \/* Shortened the line *\/\n            }\n        }\n    \u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"condition-report\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"line\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dot\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-label\"\u003eFair\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dot highlight-dot\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-label highlight\"\u003eGood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dot\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-label\"\u003eExcellent\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis field gear kit is in good, used condition.
