Help w/M38 rusksack/backpack?

**Markratz1** · 03-11-2010, 05:31 AM

Was curious if the Model 1938 pack, the later one with canvas straps are being reproduced. I have run across one for sale, little pricey, but would be nice to have. Also, are they common and roughly what they are worth in good to very good condition?

Also, would this model be representative for an early/mid war display? Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark, yes these are being reproduced in Russia and Belarus.

The type with canvas webbing straps are the M41.

They are rare and sell for around £250.

Best just for an early war display.

Cheers, Ade.

Mark,

Good to see you here. You need to watch these packs as they are often field modified by removing certain details. I would not pay a premium price for one that has been stripped down. They are rare, but not impossible. Drop me a PM or give me a call and I'll be glad to help you out with this one.
