Any markings or ink stamps on it?...
No Gunny, nothing at all...
Just spent some time on the net trying to match it up but no joy, i don't want to put a downer on it but maybe civilian?....
I have got a rather good news for you. The general apperance and details convinced me that it is a German WWII rucksack, but I couldn't find a clear answer. I searched some books and I have found a definite answer - the same model is presented on page 135 of Jacques Scipion and Yves Bastien book "Afrikakorps. Tropical uniforms of the German Army 1940 - 1945." Seems to be rather the late war example, maybe designed for Gebirgsjaegers.
with those bits,its ww2 German.
Looks like a rather early piece with the aluminium hardware, and normal buckles (with straps with holes)
