There's clearly variation between the '37 satchels. This one is described as being approximately 4 inches deep.

We identified it as a Burnerd multisize chuck collet
Hmmmm.. it's not *exactly* right. It seems to be a combinantion of the signals satchel and the small haversack from the m37 web gear:
here's the repro above:

But it should look like this:

The main difference is in how the ends of the flap look. The signals Satchel has sort of "closed" ends, where this repro has "open" ends. Also, the flap is beveled too sharply.
it's not a *horrible* option... it will just take tons of modification (far more than the real one) and I say this having modified one almost exactly like this repro and ultimately I'm getting a signals satchel to have it more accurate.
One GOOD thing about this repro is that they included the wide webbing reinforcement on the sides... even the bag I used didn't have that.
I'm trying to figure out where you get the piece that goes over the top of the bag. The long strip of fabric that runs across the top and is longer on one side. I can't visualize where the extra fabric comes from when you cut down the bag. Is the strip seamed? Thanks!

*Raises Hand* #CloseEnough Club, lol!
....this was " Zhan natural solid gauze " from Joann. # 400076491892 It was spiced in 3 places to make the wrap 1 long piece. The "natural" picture on the website looks almost this color, but in person at the store it was a cream/ tan color so we used the rit pearl grey dye on it.

Could have used that info 2 months ago when I was scratch building one. :facepalmNot sure if anyone is Interested but a few of us over at the RPF Facebook page identified a piece of Reys staff
We identified it as a Burnerd multisize chuck collet
My receipt shows "natural." But the color in the store looked more like what the website shows for "papyrus" to me. The pic they have for "natural" looks more like how it came out after it was dyed. I'll try to put up a pic of the original color to show you what i mean. Is there a store by you or are you looking at ordering it?
The piece you've highlighted hasn't been cut down off the original bag, while the 'body' of the bag and the overlapping part of the 'lid' have been. That's why it overlaps down so far.
Great find. I looked up one of the things the article mentioned and found this.

So you got the large bag not the small Ember? ....and just seam ripped and cut it down, sewed it smaller? Is that correct?
From a quick image search it looks like many assorted machining parts where used in making the staff parts.

What other parts have jumped out?
