    strange German backpack !!

    hi guys ,
    i found this one yesterday on a fleamarket !!!
    it is a backpack from 1943 but when i looked closer i saw that the iron eyes for the rope where in side out... strange... but then i checked the inside and to my surprise there was tekst vissible !
    it seems that this was a storagebag for 4 windows they used in the big tents first ,then it was turned inside out and they attached straps to use it as a backpack !
    my question : is the bag itselve from ww1 or the '30s -'40s before it was rebuild ?
    thank you ,
    greetings Jo.

        IMO postwar rebuild from original parts (leather straps and reinforcement from M34/39 tornister, storagebag for tent,...). Everything was used up during immediatly postwar years...

          hi Jan ,indeed that is possible !
          it is hard to proof when it was done ,in the war they did the strangest things...
          somebody knows if there are other ones like it please ?

            Wartime field made or postwar made, IMO impossible to tell.

              I would go for Post War, but as said, everything is possible.
