A-frame, assault pack,questions

[M. A. Miller]

Hi, I would like to know if this A-frame is real. It has some wear to it and almost all the paint is off the bigger hooks. They were real rusty and I cleaned them.The leather straps are kinda stiff. They are all marked L. Fischer &Co.NCHFG. ,Wallisch & Co WIEN. 1941 The 4 bigger hooks are marked H&C in an incluse oval. the roller buckles are grey with most of their paint. Thanks,Mitch

Hi Mitch, Of course an up close inspection is important, but based on what I see, I would not buy it.

Hi Mitch,

Nor would I, Idon't like the stitching on the webbing and the way the top leather llops are sewn.

From what I have learned on this forum this a-frame is a repro because of of a detail of construction.

I agree, for me it's a good (but some are better) repro.

Hi Mitch,
I agree with the above comments..it's a bad one for a variety of reasons.
If you can, send it back.

All the best,

Patrick.
