Estate find. I found this rucksack in vail, Co. not to far from camp hale where the military trained back in the 30's and 40's north of Leadville, Co.I don't know anything about this back pack. I bought it because I though is was kool.I will say this: "this must of been a premium bag in it's time"It has an aluminum frame, no cracks and no tears. made of olive green canvas. Someone put a new leather string to close the bag. I do not know the cubic volume, but it is a large backp...ack. This is just a kool vintage bag! the leather is thick and in perfect condition. very well made. this rucksack is in complete condition, the buckles may have a little bit of surface rust, noting major, can be cleaned with steel wool. no tears anywhere. no missing stitching. the straps are adjustable.there is a marking that is stamped into the leather, maybe someone that is looking at this may know what this marking is? please see 2nd photo. it appears to be "SA to the left of the pic and 2 squares with a star in the middle."there is a small compart inside the bag, see 3rd photo. the bag has a hip belt, but I don't think this will fit someone with a 40" waist. someone that owned it wrote SC and a phone number under the lid of the bag see the 4th photothe user can also make adjustments in the back upper section of the bag where it meets up with the back of your neck. see last two photos. There are straps all over this backpack. This is a heavy duty bag and meant for long haul.
