Description from the seller

Swiss Army military backpack 1944 – original tornister made of hide and leather – World War II

Description
Standard-issue backpack of the Swiss Army, Tornister model, dated 1944.
Authentic Swiss-made fabrication, used by troops during World War II.

The bag is made of natural hair-on leather (veal or cow), with reinforcements, straps and closures in thick leather, hand-stitched. The interior is lined with sturdy gray canvas, with the original frame and structural elements. The Swiss military markings with a cross and date are clearly visible, confirming authenticity and the period of manufacture.

The set shows a uniform patina of use that is coherent with its age. The leather is well preserved, the straps are complete and functional. The fur is well preserved with some areas of normal wear. No modern reassembly or heavy restoration.

A metal equipment container is present inside, in keeping with the era's military equipment and adding to the overall interest.

A sought-after piece among collectors of Swiss militaria and World War II, but also appreciated for its raw, historical aesthetic.

State
In good antique condition, with wear from use consistent with a 1944 military piece of equipment. See detailed photos.

Dimensions
Standard dimensions of the Swiss Tornister (approximately 45 × 35 × 15 cm).

Period
1944 – World War II

Provenance
