The pack that started this thread is sold a lot by manions on ebay. They must have a hundred of them, all mint. What is most interesting to me is the RBN#. Appears to start with a "9" which is unusual, and controversial on hats and other items.

Nice packs, Gentlemen!
That last one has the same clips as I have on a field converted DAK pack - and I've always wondered about that as I've not seen it used on other packs. Early, I'd imagine??
I know it's off topic, but here's shots of mine.

Backpack on backpack

Hello guys

Some years ago i picked up on a farm in the surroundings of the the city of Nijmegen (German Holland border) the backpack your shown (used condition) hooked up on the late war rucksack (used condition) with the four extra D-rings (two on top / two on the bottom of the rucksack)

It looked if in this case the backpack your shown was used like the well known "A-frame".

In this way you can separate the "small one" from the "big one" en you got yourself a "last type A-frame" (with zeltbahn). The configuration of the extra D-rings makes it look logical. More logical than hooking up a real A-frame. When hooking up a real A-frame on the big rucksack with the for extra D-rings your will see that yoru pulling the big rucksack together (out of shape) wich become less useful in this way

Recent their appearing a lot of the big ones (with the four extra D-Rings) and a lot of the small ones ?????? .......Possible answer .......!!!!!!
