1942 Marked. FSSF WWII Mountain Rucksack / Haversack. Original Backpack RARE

Bag, Frame and Kidney Belt. For sale is a Siegmund Werner Inc 1942 marked mountain pack, as used by the 10th mountain division, rangers, and First Special Service Force (FSSF). Includes frame and kidney belt. It is in issued and well used condition but is by all means still a functional and usable pack with some signs of aging and use (please reference photos for stained/faded canvas).

Leather is a bit cracked but is still usable after testing and putting a healthy amount of dubbing oil on. The right compartment strap is missing the last 1/3 of it but can still be closed securely. Bottom canvas is still in excellent condition with what appears to be the factory stitching - a rare find with mountain packs! Shoulder pads are original and are in tact but the padding has been broken down over time. A few of the supporting heavy canvas straps that had rips appear to be field repaired.

Please note: if you are not familiar with mountain packs, they are VERY large. 19" W X 23" T X 10 D unpacked. Think of this as wearing 3 mussette bags on your back.
