H025494 M34 "PONY FUR" BACKPACK. (Tornister)

BACKGROUND: The M34 backpack was based on the Prussian model 1885 and the Reichswehr era M1907/13 backpacks with minor variations and was officially introduced on November 1ST 1934. Of Note: These M34 packs were to be replaced with the M1939 back pack, that was introduced along with the combat Y straps on April 18TH 1939, but the transition was never fully accomplished and the M34 packs were manufactured through out the war in limited quantities. During the war the early M34 and M39 "pony fur" backpacks were found to be too expensive and time consuming to produce which resulted in the production of a wide variety of less expensive canvas construction combat rucksacks and backpacks.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: An olive drab canvas pack with leather and cowhide fittings, roughly 30cm wide, 38cm tall and 10cm deep, with a fold over flap that covers its entire front. Full fur coverage to the main flap. Looks all complete and in decent condition.
