WW2 German Wehrmacht – CANVAS COMBAT RUCKSACK – NEW OLD STOCK – NICE!

You are bidding on a VERY NICE example of a WW2 German Wehrmacht Combat Rucksack / Backpack, as used by all German military personnel throughout the war!The M34 and M39 Tornister 'Pony Fur' Backpack (based on the earlier Prussian Back Pack), was introduced in November 1934.As they became too expensive and far too time consuming to produce, a more economical and less expensive canvas type rucksack was introduced.In late 1940 with the impending German entrance into the North African campaign the standard leather carrying harness straps on the assorted rucksacks and backpacks were altered to canvas web straps for longer wear in the tropical climate.Made of Olive Drab Canvas and Cotton Web, this rucksack is in EXCELLENT unused condition! Some slight marks and wear from storage, but nothing that detracts. It features fabric straps with aluminum and steel hardware/buckles. Missing the draw string, but that is an easy replacement. No stamps or markings that I can see. Would make anEXCELLENT addition to any collection or display!
