I just picked up this mountain Rucksack at auction for 80 US dollars. I know it is missing some strap pieces and could use some help figuring out what is missing. I think it is two straps with hardware to attach to the ammo pouches and some kind of waist belt. Interestingly, it carries the name of someone who once owned it as a backpack post war. I found someone on the web matching the name and sent him a message. He was born in Brussels and traveled to Athens as part of his professional career involving aerospace. You can see the airline tags still attached including the Sabena airways one from Belgium and one for Athens. I’d like to know the history of the pack - hopefully I will hear from the previous owner.
