  • Description

    Original "Affe" or ape as it is sometimes called, German tornister back pack. This one was made to be attached to the Y-straps. It appears to be unissued or lightly used at most with some light storage wear. There is an R.B.Nr. on the back of the pack in the usual place but I did not see a date. I would guess this was a mid to late war example because of the R.B.Nr. and the use of white cloth inside rather than the usual green/tan cloth. This change usually seems to happen around 1943.

     

    There is a little discoloration of the canvas and a small bald spot on the pony fur (this doesn't appear to be deterioration but is more likely an original defect in the material). It has been crushed flat a bit in storage, which is fairly common when these are stored empty. It also has the small attached interior bag for the mess kit. It is a very nice example overall and would make a nice addition to any collection.
