A summer pic its smaller than the usual pack any ideas? Artillery maybe has a key lock pouch on the interior.

Why should it be military?

It could be post WW1, Political party thingy?

There must be some connection with an Essgeschirr...

Maybe WW1 officer?

It reminds me of the semi-militarycamping kit of the "Wandervögel".

The shape equals the students schoolbag.

The locked compartment is what confuses me.

Indeed, Pfadfinder, Wandervögel... plenty of "lets get out into the fresh air" youth groups back then.

I guess it could have been a leader because of the lock. Dunno, I chum thinks its mounted artillery? because of the early ochre I'm leaning towards as Chris say's officer or lower NCO no stamps private purchase. Thanks for the thoughts.
