€115.00
Tax included
Genuine WWII German cowhide rucksack M39 Tornister with natural hair. Intended for carrying personal impedimenta: the inside pocket of the flap held the cleaning utensils, a towel, a sewing kit and a shirt. The centre of the main compartment held the cooking pot with bread ration and cutlery inside it, the sides contained the ankle boots with the cleaning items inside them, some pairs of socks filling any gaps. Between the flap and the body of the rucksack, work trousers and high boots could be placed if available.
The Tornister was simplified as the war progressed and the cowhide cover was eliminated for economical and practical considerations.
This rucksack is in good used condition and retains all its straps and buckles. Hallmarked kzl and dated 1943. Shoulder straps are not included.
