GERMAN WWII ARMED FORCES FUR BACK PACK.

A good clean example of the Soliers fur back pack. All interior leather fittings good, slight staining to the interior of the fur flap, fur undamaged. Complete with all of its shoulder strapping. Maker marked and dated ‘1942’ to the leather strengthened section of the upper back area. All other exterior loops present. Shown in Ausrustung volume 2, pages 32 and 33. Recently purchased from probably the best combat uniform and equipment collection in the United Kingdom comprising Army tropical, Waffen SS, Luftwaffe paratrooper and many other items of the same genre. The collection was begun by the then 15 year old boy who used to visit our own shop in London in the very early 1980’s and has built this collection up over 40 years culminating in the writing of excellent books on these subjects.
