Description
You are bidding on a VERY NICE used example of a WW2 German Wehrmacht M1939 “Pony Fur” (Tornister) Backpack!
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/green colored Canvas, Cow Hide, and Leather this Tornister Backpack 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, however there are various field repairs throughout. Features a manufacture code of “ftc” and production date of 1943. Larger in size than the Youth Marching Pack (33cm x 30cm x 6cm), this standard ARMY version is 38cm x 30cm x 10cm. An EXCELLENT addition to any collection or display!
