WW2 Canadian Duffle Bag Handle

The WW2 Canadian Duffle Bag Handle is a component commonly found on issued duffle bags used by Canadian military personnel during the Second World War. Made from durable canvas with reinforced stitching, this handle was designed to withstand heavy use in various field conditions. Handles of this type were integral to the standard-issue kit bags provided to soldiers for carrying personal equipment and supplies. Typical features include olive drab coloration, metal hardware or rivets for added strength, and dimensions suited for comfortable hand carrying. The robust construction reflects military requirements for longevity and functionality under demanding circumstances. These handles serve not only as practical equipment but also as representative artifacts of Canadian military material culture from the 1939–1945 period. They are of interest to collectors, historians, and researchers documenting Canadian involvement in World War II and the evolution of military gear design.
