AUTHENTIC 1943 SWISS ARMY COWHIDE RUCKSACK ''AFFE''
We were able to find a rare Swiss Army cowhide rucksack.
This is an original Swiss Army cowhide and leather backpack lined with fabric on the inside. The backpack has leather straps and buckles on the top, bottom, outside and inside. A wooden dowel runs through the leather on the top. There is a pouch on the outside, one on the inside and the large interior space. Two thick leather cushions are on the piece to protect your lower back and an accessory hook in next to them. The maker's name, profession, location and date "45" are stamped in between the cushions. This piece has retained its original finish with minimal wear to the cowhide and leather.
If you're interested, don't miss this opportunity.
