I have this Polish backpack, which was found in the old farm's attick in Estonia. I'am wondered that this is a not first Polish backpack found in Estonia. Probably that backpack came to Estonia with a Soviet soldiers whor retreat from Lithuania, or that backpacks was sent to Estonia in 1940 year to Estonian army ( due of known that the Poland was sent to Estonia wz 39 helmets, and partially wz 31 helmets and Vickers type light tanks)

Hi Dimas,

That’s a nice looking backpack, a wz.33 model if I’m not mistaken. The red production / acceptance stamps look entirely correct for pre-war. Michalmag, one of our members here, would be able to provide more information on these.

While these are not an area of expertise for me, one thing I can say for certain is that the market value for a genuine surviving pre-WW2 example is certainly well in excess of your estimate. A back pack very much like this one sold on ebay this past July for $265. Not many original examples have survived the past 70 years.
