M 1938 Russian rucksack

Hi,

Does anyone know what the current going price is for these rucksacks. I am thinking about buying one as I do not see them for sale often.

Thanks,
Eddie

Hi Eddie, expect to pay at least 250 Euros.

Cheers, Ade.

I have noticed that the earlier issued M38 backpacks have more leather parts, such as leather straps. The backpacks that were issued later appear to be almost completely canvas. Is there anyway to precisely date when this backpack would have been issued? Perhaps the backpacks varied based on the factory too...
