Original German WWII Luftwaffe Rucksack With Shoulder Straps And Dated 1940- Definitely a used Luftwaffe rucksack that has a small amount for staining on the front. The leather is a little stiff and could use some conditioner. One shoulder strap has aluminum hardware and the other has steel painted gray. Typical for this time period when the Germans were switching from aluminum to steel equipment hardware. Marked and dated 1940 on the back. It has the internal pockets. Excellent condition.
