Any interest in 1950's Navy duffle bag?

I found this in the same house I found the Chevy owners manual and the WWI Service Medal.
I'm not sure if these bags were different colors depending on what branch, I say navy because its white, and I found other militaria from the same guy that was all marked US Navy.
It's stenciled with the original owners name: Croteau, Richard A.
and the designation: AF 11 263 950
Inside is stenciled:
Bag Duffel Type I
Stock No. 8330-025990
Geo. S. Rumley Shoe Mfg. Co.
1951
It's rugged as hell, beefy construction throughout. It obviously shows wear, and I washed it once and got most of the filth off it, but it is still dirty. I didnt bleach it or anything though.
Make an offer.
