About 30 years ago I got this Hasselblad film bag, likely flown due to the handwriting on it. Does anyone possibly have a similar item with similar writing to help me identify it?

Considering how low in the alphabet the film cassettes went, showing that a lot of film was used, I am assuming this was likely from the Apollo J missions. There was a tag on the back that was clipped off, and was told that sometimes the flight ID was actually printed on the back and was then clipped off to make things like this less collectable (and hence, less likely to be stolen).

Lovely piece!!! The National Air and Space Museum has a Hasselblad bag from Apollo 11, and if you go through the photos, you can see where the serial no. is.

Does your bag have the same printing? It seems integral to the bag and not something easily removed.
