| Reference Number: Avaluer:163814 |
Vtg Swiss Military Pack aka "Salt and Pepper Rucksack", ca 1961, Nesslau model.
Stamped and dated "Berlinger / Sattler / Nesslau /(19)61." As-issued with no apparent restoration or significant later interventions: original and highly robust leatherwork and stitching throughout e.g. heavily reinforced leather pack bottom, leather lash tabs at sides exterior and under lid, leather ownership panel at shoulder strap o-ring; original canvas inner lid and grommets with old or contem...porary drawstring; exterior gear pocket; highly weather-resistant and iconic "salt and pepper" patterned fabric, &c. A rather nice example of this now-collectible pack, albeit n.b. with a few defects (as illustrated): interior a trifle musty, exterior a bit dusty, one (1) open pinhole tear at left side, later ownership inscription in black ink under exterior pocket lid. Interested buyers must above all be aware that extremities of some leather straps show creasing and brittleness, with those two of the main compartment lid requiring repair.
Unrestored and pre-owned but highly serviceable and ready for re-use. I am a new seller to the ebay marketplace but do bid with confidence and contact me, if you like. This pack is SWAF and is not subject to return but there is no reserve here.
