Luftwaffe Luftwaffe Rucksack and messkit

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

Got these this morning. Both the waterbottle and the rucksack are LBA marked. The messtin is a missmatched early war HRE37 and GLB39 lid.

The unit marking on the shoulder straps is quite interesting, this is the second unit marked rucksack I have from the Luftwaffe.

Unit: II/Boelcke 37

That is really something. I wounder if these packs were used to hold food and etc on the planes for flight crews(larger aircraft). I love the condition of the leather. Very nice set.
