When soldiers were running around in the field, they needed something to put all their stuff in, and hence, were issued backpacks. But, the Soviets seemed to use the same kind of pack from WWII until the end of the empire...
So, when no markings are present, does anyone know how to tell the age of a pack? Perhaps by the material, stitching, hardware, etc?
Here is an example, can anyone venture a guess as to its age? (And if anyone can tell me what the writing says, I'd be grateful for that as well).
Thanks!
