German army mountain pack

[bushcraftkid2001]

Anyone know where I can get a genuine german army mountain pack-the one with leather straps and bottom???
Links would be cool too.

You sure it's German and not Swiss.

Yup- like this one,

but with the leather straps and bottom (the older version).

Never seen one with leather straps.... thought that was the swedish one...

I've seen repros like this one

But never genuine ones

The one in your last link I expect to arrive during christmas, the black version.
I've been searching for these quite a while, but never found one with a leather bottom.....

Great, please tell me what the quality is like when it arrives.

Santa brought me the modern version today, took it directly out for a day hike with the dog.
Came across 2 dead birches, which I stripped down to make some birch oil later on.

So far I like the pack. Only thing which could be better is that the padding on the shoulder straps starts at the pack, and ends just in front of my shoulders.
This could be a bit longer for my liking, I can imagine that it might irritate after longer wearign the pack. But no issue so far yet during my 3 hour walk today.
The "rubberized" bottom and other parts are quite sturdy, and the fabric itself is well stitched, seems to be strong.

Here is a review I found online:
