Hi Lee,

Lifting the handle should work. I have the exact Nashua pack you show in
your picture, and just now verified that lifting the handle (without
pressing any other mechanism) does indeed release the bottom cover. It
appears to be a magnetic release, like the DEC-branded packs, but without
the requirement to slide a locking device.

Perhaps it's just a bit stuck?
