    What is the correct WWII Swiss rucksack?

    Looking on the internet for Swissicon rucksacks and can't get a handle on which one is really Swiss and which would be the proper one for the WWI-WWII time frame.

    I've seen some that have a "pony" fur front covering flap with the remainder being a canvas of some sort. I've seen some that are all "pony" fur and I've seen some that are canvas all over.

    Not real serious about it but thought it would be nice to have one to go with my K11 and K31 rifles.

    The Swissicon Rifles board has some very knowledgeable and helpful people for "Swissology" They have certainly helped me!
