    Dating y straps and backpack

    Hello,
    I got these 2 today along with some other items. They're ofcourse post-war, but their model and quality is still very similar to the ww2 models. The real difference in the y straps ,is the cloth material that has been attached.

    Can someone tell me how old these 2 are? Are they Bundeswehr, or...


    Thanks!
    Frank

        The Y-straps are post-war Austrian, the rucksack looks like West German police from the 50s or 60s. Check the leather for any dates or stamps, sometimes they are very faint or worn.

          The Ystraps are quite early postwar ones...they are sewn at the junction ring instead of rivited like later ones. The pack is also Austrian Army. Probably from the 50s, early 60s if you could find a date on it...
