Description
The combat assault A-frame packs were designed for wear with the combat Y-straps, on their development in April 1939, and were utilized by assault troops to lighten their load and still carry necessary items into battle. The assault packs were issued with a separate, small, removable bag that would be strapped to the frame and was designed to carry the K98 rifle cleaning kit, necessary underclothing and toiletries, rations and eating utensils. The assault pack was also designed to have the mess kit and quarter shelter/poncho strapped to the frame giving personnel the capability to carry all the basic necessities into battle.
Made of Canvas Webbing with steel fittings, this Tropical A-Frame is in EXCELLENT UN-ISSUED condition! Some slight marks and wear from storage, but nothing that detracts. Features a prominent manufacture stamp with the date of 1942. Steel fittings are marked, “LUX”. No tears rips, or damage! A VERY NICE example, it would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
