Tornister Help Needed

[pzrwest]

I have a nice Tornister I'm concidering on selling and looking for opinions on what would be a fare price to ask for it. It is in excellent condition with no rips or tears and all straps and buckles present. It has the short straps instead of the long straps. It has a name in ink on the back of it, I don't know if this is the name of the original owner or added sometime by someone. It is maker and dated bdt 41. I appreciate all opinions. Here are pics of the Tornister.

Hi,

I agree it's a nice tornister, unfortunately they don't seem to sell for much.

I would expect to pay in the region of £40 - £45 (US$57 - US$64) for it.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Ian

This M39 Tornister meant for Infanterie is in very decent condition...
the "Ohne Einlage" marking is really nice
these items are underestimated...

This is the first Tornister with a three letter maker code that I have seen. "bdt" is for maker Salewa Lederwarenfabrik G.m.b.H. in München. I'd be happy to have it in my collection.

Google translates the marking "Ohne Einlage" to "without deposit". Does that make sense?

It means without insert is what I get from Bablefish translator. Some tornisters had a ridgid frame inside and some didn't.

Thanks Harold, that makes more sense. Happy to soon be the new owner!
