Description
You are bidding on a VERY NICE used example of a WW2 German Hitler Youth M1934 “Pony Fur” (Tornister) Marching Pack!
Based on the earlier Prussian Back Pack, this model was introduced in November 1934. Issued to all personnel, it saw use up to as late as 1944.
Made of tan colored Canvas, Cow Hide, and Leather this Tornister Backpack / Marching Pack is in EXCELLENT condition for its age! It features brown leather straps and single pronged metal buckles. There is some very minor wear, as well as some fur missing, but nothing that affects the function or takes away from the overall appearance. All straps are present, and it has a name hand-written internally. No major tears rips, or damage (leather buckles have stiffened somewhat). The RARE feature is that is still retains the ORIGINAL internal stiffener (this is normally missing). Straps feature a manufacture name and markings on each (possibly a unit ID), with a date of 1937. Two original leather ties are also included. Smaller in size than the standard ARMY version (38cm x 30cm x 10cm), this YOUTH version is 33cm x 30cm x 6cm. An EXCELLENT addition to any collection or display!
