Vtg 1950s - 'GES GESCH' - AUSTRIAN ARMY Ruck Sack
Leather, Canvas, Aluminium & Webbing Shoulder Straps
A desirable item for any collector. Also for totally usable/practical for Everyday Use &/or Re-Enactment purposes.
Especially as the Pea Camo pattern closely resembles that issued to Elite Germans troops during WW2.
N.B. Which is probably why when they come up - these are incorrectly described as German WW2 vintage kit: )
And as an everyday item - these are so much better quality & cooler-looking than those (expensive) contemporary specialist brands that attempt to ape this type of traditional military item - which inevitably lack an authentic patina anyhow ... š¤
Acquired in the US around 15 years agoand originally from a Yard Sale at a Minnisota farm ...
And during the years I've had it - only used lightly on a handful of occasions: So it finally needs a more 'deserving' home : )
With X2 inner compartments - with the smaller perfect for a laptop - for example
Height: 40cm
Depth: up to 14cm +
BaseWidth:up to 30cm
Weight: 1.8KG approx.All photos taken in natural daylight - and the final image taken outside - in medium sun.
Background
We've acquired quite a lot of vintage clothing, incl. High Street fashion, and household collectables over the last 20 years. And we're looking to slim things down, as we're intending to move in late 2026-7
Nothing being offered will be 'tired' or worn-out - be it vintage or otherwise
And, as we know the disappointment of receiving things that are not as presented, we'll be making every effort to describe things fully and honestly - whilst giving any guidance on sizing we can.
All items sent clean & ready to use.
