Civil War backpack / haversack. Tarred. fragile condition. 14th Sep. Co. NY vet

Description

Civil War back pack / haversack. Tarred. fragile condition. This was found with the 14th Separate Company (NY) wood frame pack I have listed. Unmarked that I can see.  It is basically intact, but has separated along most of the main fold of the large flap. Some straps are gone. Others are dry and brittle. One is hanging from a thread of leather. I hope it remains attached during the journey, but I cannot guarantee it. One strap is marked with what looks like "C L RICHARDS INSPECTOR NEW YORK". But still an original and obviously belonged to a man with the NY 14th Sep. Co.. The wood pack is named and has a lot of writing inside, which I just cannot quite make out with my old eys. But I think you could figure it out with some patient, close examination. This will have to be shipped Priority Mail in an odd size package, thus the shipping cost. I suspect it will cost more than I am charging, but I will pay the difference. There is one loose strap end with a hook, so be watchful for it when you open the package.
