Rare 1955 Dated Italian Army Alpini Rucksack - Early M1962 Style - Hemp Material
$110.00
Production Date: 1955 (Marked). This transitional piece represents the pinnacle of post-WWII Italian mountain equipment.
Heavyweight Construction: Made from a thick, stiff, high-density cotton canvas characteristic of the 1950s. This material is significantly more robust than later surplus versions. Storage: Large main compartment (~45L) with two tall, deep external side pockets designed for mountain tools, canteens, or fuel canisters. Suspension: Original heavy-duty padded shoulder straps with metal hardware and a clear ID window for troop identification on the rear.
Condition: Canvas: Excellent vintage condition. One small hole is present from long term storage (pictured). Hardware: All grommets, the chain mechanism, and buckles are fully functional. The metal shows minor surface wear but no deep corrosion.
