Gebirgsjäger Rucksack original?

[pzo]

Textbook prewar Wehrmacht backpack for mountain troops, in typical quality.

Whoever calls this postwar or BW or austrian ect, has no idea of Wehrmacht gear (and not of BW and austrian, too...)

Quality is just what bothers me in this particular Rucksack. I attach some detailed pictures of my 1939 dated Rucksack. At first sight one can see that it is built to last. Hooks are made of thick aluminium as well as buckles. All buckles are horizontal except two for main straps at the bottom which are curvy. Contrary to mine buckles those from subject Rucksack looks flat.
