A few questions about the Mark VII bag...

Today I received the bag that I ordered from What Price Glory last week. It is in excellent condition apart from a couple of aspects that I will now ask you fellow bag owners about.

1) What is the purpose of the grey metal disc that is attached to one side of the bag, and was it removed from Indy's bag, as I do not recall seeing it in the films?

2) What condition were your bag's metal parts in when you bought it? On mine, the strap rings and adjuster do not have the smooth polished surface I imagined they would. Instead, they are fairly corroded looking, but not rusted. Whereas, the disc I refer to in question 1 has about a third of its surface rusted, and has marked the surrounding material with an orange stain.

3) What are all the bits of string for?

4) My bag is dated 1943. Does this mean that it would have been impossible for Indy to have really had such a bag in the years the films took place?

Many thanks,

Satipo
