WW2 German Fur M98 Tournister Backpack

[jwp]

Hi, this backback offered online grabbed my attention, conflicting dates on it, bargain price, any experts opinions welcome,
many thanks,
John.

Photo's of the whole pack would help

I don't know these well but the RZM would indicate it was political (SA??)....If in fact the RZM stamp is real.

I think the SS versions were RZM and SS marked.

But again...wait for others with more experience.

I think you answered your own question in the first line. Non matching dates is never a good sign. In this case if it's a SA Tornister where is the RZM cloth label that would be sown inside? I would suggest fake RZM stamps on the leather.

all I can say is the '38 stamp would make sense. I have an example '38 dated (no RZM no pony fur)

Compare it to this 1938.

This be my one

cheers,
John.

would this stamp on the straps indicate a regiment or unit ?

Yes.
