F-214 Luftwaffe Tropical Rucksack
This ruck is made of a somewhat faded greyish- blue canvas-like material in a
fairly fine weave. It has all the correct straps and leather buckles on the
front pouches. The longer, brown leather center strap shows moderate
stress cracking and needs some definite leather care to
prevent it from drying out, though it is still flexible. The two shorter (side pouch) straps (black leather)
straps are in quite good condition. The shoulder straps are thick, wide,
webbed material. They each attach at the top rear of the bag to a large
“D” ring, which is itself secured to a leather tab. A wide black
leather reinforcement panel sewn across the top of the bag on the back covers
the bases of these leather “D” ring tabs. The panel is maker marked
“Heinrich Sohn K.G.” and dated “1941”. All of the webbed straps show
normal wear and light soiling, but are completely sound. The bag interior is in
good shape. The original drawstring cord is present and sound. The rucksack
material has a repaired rip on one side panel, but other than for light soiling
is quite good. Real serviceable example.
