€195.00
Tax included
Great genuine pre-WWII German cowhide rucksack M34 Tornister with natural hair.
Manufactured by Carl Busse in Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate and dated 1937.
The innner 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, the sides contained the ankle boots with their cleaning kit, some pairs of socks filling any gaps. Between the flap and the body of the haversack, work trousers and high boots could be placed.
The Tornister was simplified as the war progressed and the cowhide cover was eliminated for economical and practical considerations.
Quite good, used condition; name Karl Eckel has been engraved at the back; shoulder slings are a bit twisted and show signs of field repair.
