Did you use all of those rucksacks?
Did the porter have to have a separate cargo hold for all of them?
When are you moving to Milwaukee so you can be fully inducted into the Cheaters and we can get started on the Bonneville "Stude" you planned?
Just got a new clubhouse ....It's boss.

Indeed, I do! I like that Czech version, too. I've seen a few of the Czech ones available, as well as the grey Austrian one, like this:BellyTank said:
1950s Czech- but very close in style and colour to some DAK rucksacks-
These are widely available(I have several) but this one HAD to be bought, due to the colouring and type of canvas, which is far superior to others I have and have seen. Uses a seperate shoulder strap assembly, as do most of the older German and European ones- the type of strap system to be used with a matching waistbelt.
MOJAVEJACK! This one is actually modern made in a vintage style- the leather patches at the bottom corners of the sack- where the straps are connected is actually vinyl, rather than leather, as is the binding around the flaps/pockets. Like it?

Soviet, WWII. The straps also double as the bag closure.

I think they're from the 50s, but I'm nott too sure. I found a pic that shows somehting of the straps.BellyTank said:Hi Jack-
not sure about that one...
I would imagine it has its own straps though.
It has a carrying handle too.
How old are these ones..?

We'll find out a bit more about it soon enough! I went ahead and ordered one, so I'll post a review as soon as it arrives.
