Does anyone recognise this rucksack? The seller is advertising as an Italian army pack vintage NOS but the material looks to be the same as the Swiss army salt and
pepper packs. Anyway i've taken a punt as it looks like a nice pack!

I agree with Scoman, looks to be a modern "vintage" pack. Doesn't mean its a bad pack.

Yes, I'm inclined to agree. There is some corrosion to the metalwork which suggests it been in storage for a while. There's also the quick release hook for the straps that suggests military. The material looks the same as my Swiss pack which I believe was woven from nettle fibres so will be interesting to compare when it turns up. Also see if it's got that surplus smell about it!

The straps of the flap are pretty short.
The rubber legs aren't authentic.
The carrying straps are too thin.

That surely isn't a military rucksack.
