Cowhide First Aid Swiss Army Backpack

About the Item

This is an excellent example of a Swiss made army backpack. Complete with all straps and very minimal wear to the cow hair on the exterior, and no rips in the interior canvas. This square model would have been used for First Aid and still has some of the original Swiss Army pamphlets explaining triage care in the field. Nicknamed the "Haaraffe" or "hair monkey" because of its looks.
