Before the 'rucksack' was this - the Tornister. This is an early Model 34 with straps ( not 1939 onwards with 'D' rings which clipped onto the Y straps) and they are not that expensive so check that all the straps and buckles are there. You can snag one for less than US$100 if you look around so buy a complete one. While it WAS issued, these were left at base depots and not carried into combat ..... so for many this loses the 'gloss' as a collectable ( I think they are cool myself )
