SALE: 30% off, was 68 $, now 47 $ - price in US Dollars

This genuine unused military backpack is made from sturdy heavy duty canvas in army green shade. The leather shoulder straps are adjustable and wider on the shoulder for comfortable wearing. The bag is quite big and can hold a lot of your stuff in it, it also has a leather belt and a fabric pocket on one side where you can carry a big water bottle, a tripod or a paper storage tube for example. It closes with a cord on the inside and fastens with a leather strap with metallic buckle on the outside. It has a lot of small leather loops all over, on this loops the military equipment like helmet and tent were attached.

This type of military backpack was typically used in the Communist era by the Romanian army. My father still remembers them from the time when he had to do his military duty on the Black Sea Coast.

The authentic Romanian Army backpack is ideal for daily outdoor or urban use. The rucksack is very versatile, unisex and just looks fabulous fashionable for its age. The backpack is just cool and would make a perfect gift for him, for the traveler, for the person who loves hiking, camping and fishing.

**********************************************************
CONDITION: Very good vintage condition. These are vintage military bags deposited for long years so there may be a scent that I find negligible and that will go away with time. If you want your bag to smell like new you can wash it when you receive it. Being made of fabric it is really easy to wash. Some metal parts can have rust spots build up but all the parts are in working order.

Depending on the bag on the back of one of the leather straps there are stamps with date and place of the production: late 70's early 80's and another stamp with the word "ADMIS" - that means: valid - or passed the technical quality control.

DIMENSIONS:
Height: ~ 45 cm ( ~17.7 inches)
Wide: ~ 30 - 38 cm (~ 11.8 - 15 inches) - wider at the bottom
Deep: ~ 23 cm (~ 9 inches)
Weight: ~1.7 kg (~ 3.75 pounds)

Some minor variations from the item shown in the pictures can occur also, the stamp whit the date of production varies a bit or is not clearly visible on all bags, but they were all made late 70' or early 80'.

I do have the same bag available with 6 extra leather straps for attaching all your gear, matt, blanket, bottles, etc.. So take a look and decide wich one fits your need the best: https://www.etsy.com/listing/470979331/military-backpack-with-leather-straps?ref=shop_home_active_1
