Swiss Army golf bag displayed as Defense 1063 and described as a custom model made in a limited quantity.

Reported Small Bag from the Rockingham Driveway
🔍 Physical

A small bag reported near the parked cars on the Rockingham driveway. Allan Park said he saw Simpson retrieve it, did not remember where Simpson then placed it, and did not see it during the airport luggage transfer. Brian Kaelin described an unfamiliar dark knapsack and said Simpson insisted on retrieving it. Simpson later described a white bag containing used golf balls, while prosecutors argued that a missing dark bag held incriminating items; the bag's appearance, identity, and alleged contents therefore remained disputed.
