    It has a faint maker mark on the rear of the pack on the leather, from the pics I would say the Max Muller strap is the added strap

    Another really interested find is this nail head impression in the leather. This what I believe to be a local unit mark, I say this because I had the same mark on this 1936 Weimar buckle by Assamann, I wonder is if at some point they were around the same unit

    So if the pack is maybe from 1936 then maybe both straps are replacement ones? Food for thought!

    Hello Ben,
    Nice to see that the messkit pocket is still there
    Two things : the belt hook is missing (as quite often) and both carrying straps are wrongly positioned.
    They should be positioned the other way around...
    Thanks

    Will you have a complete Tornister when the second one arrives or are you still missing some straps ?

    Interesting sort of unit mark, looks like the head of a flat head slotted screw.
    Well, they used what they could get, after all
    Nice Tornister by the way!
