Vintage 1936 Swiss Army cowhide mountaineer’s rucksack – “Haaraffe Tornister”
This rare and iconic Swiss Army rucksack, nicknamed the Haaraffe Tornister (“hairy ape backpack”), was issued in 1940 and has since become a true classic in our collection.
Originally introduced in 1898, this model remained virtually unchanged until 1950 – testament to its practical and durable design.
The rucksack features multiple interior compartments that unfold for easy access, as well as a small external pocket on the front. The exterior is made of genuine cowhide, which gives the bag its distinctive look and German nickname. The interior is lined with sturdy canvas for extra durability.
Whether you’re a collector of military gear or simply appreciate vintage craftsmanship, this Haaraffe Tornister is a striking and storied piece of alpine history.
After more than 80 years, this piece has stood the test of time. It shows visible signs of age and use, consistent with its history.
The rucksack has lost some of its hair but it has been treated and is completely free of any insect activity.

Vintage 30s leather hunting bag
This French made hunting bag dates back to the 1930s and was traditionally used by hunters to carry small game and cartridges. It features multiple compartments, a netted section for transporting rabbits or birds, and an adjustable leather shoulder strap. The brown leather—with its subtle crocodile-style pattern, gives the bag a classic and rugged appearance.
It would also make a striking decorative piece, especially in a cabin, lodge, or hunting-themed interior.
After nearly a century, the bag is in used condition and shows signs of wear. Over the years, it has developed a beautiful patina that adds to its charm, though the leather has become fragile with age. The net originally used for carrying game is torn in several places.
Due to its delicate condition, I would not recommend using the bag for practical purposes.
