WH (Heer) Combat Rucksack

Wehrmacht (Heer) Combat Rucksack with leather carrying straps (Rucksack). During the war the early M34 and M39 Affe backpacks were found to be too expensive and time consuming to produce which resulted in the production of a wide variety of less expensive canvas construction combat rucksacks and backpacks. The rucksack is executed in green, ‘heavy-duty’ cotton and has a rounded fold over top flap. The carrying straps are made of leather and are machine stichted to the rucksack, see photo. Stamped on te back with Rb.Nr. and the straps are also both marked with a Rb.Nr. Nice example in used condition!
