Original Item. Only One Available. Derived from the Model 1931 used by Mountain troops, the M41 Tornister (Knapsack) Backpack or Rucksack also completely replaced the Tornister 39 in tropical zones. Later in the war it became the standard pattern used by all parts of the Wehrmacht.
This is a very nice example of the Heer (Army) version of the Tornister M41, in the correct green color, with tan shoulder straps. Some types were designed to interface with the Y-straps and A-frame, however this type is a standalone pack.
Condition is very good, especially considering the age. The shoulder straps are complete and intact, and are the type permanently attached to the bag. Both sides feature a “D” ring on the strap and these attach to the iconic German quick release attachments.
The interior is very nice, with the expected wear from age. All pockets and compartments look to be intact. The various buckles and straps also all look to be present.
A very nice and rare example of a Heer M41 Tornister Backpack, ready to display!
