Looks like an LK-35 backpack to me, but I have no experiences with them.
Thought it just might help you look for info on it.

As Ron said, it looks like an LK-35. LK-50 is very good* though 
.
The frame on the pic in the link looks a whole lot lighter than the one used for the 50 and 70. Even when empty the two bigger versions are heavy packs but, in my experience, the weight of the 50 'disappears' when the pack is put on and I've heard the same said about the 70 ~ I'd have thought the same would go for the one you're looking at.
I think the only major complaint (In the surplus market) is the lack of padding in the straps and waist belt. Many seem to swap them out for ALICE, MALICE, and MOLLE versions ~ the only time I've had an issue with the lack of padding has been when I've needed to carry a weekend's water in on top of kit.
P&P is pretty good too.
* Where the value 'good' is based on my own personal opinion of using one .

.I have one made by the Swiss my not just like that it has a rubber coating but they make great bags get it 👍
Good man
I've got an LK35 but the frame is different on this one. I don't hike anymore but just liked the look of the pack.
No experience of these, but if it's an improvement on the earlier version:

Then it'll be good. I bought a pair of these from Military Mart for under £14 and both needed little more than a bit of neatsfoot oil and a scrub despite not being used since (if the postmark and date of stamp on the letter I found in one of them is to be believed) 1943.
Cheers!

Interesting pack. Not an lk35, not a M39, looks a bit like a norwegian pack but it isn't one. I'm really curious.
